Intermittent Crystal Reports error “The request could not be submitted for background processing.”

Question

We are running Crystal Reports on a Windows Server 2008 with .NET framework 3.5 SP1.

I have seen many causes of the general error \"The request could not be submitted

Answer 1

After many days, finally I discovered what is the root of problem, in case you are including jpg images in your report.

The thing is that CR for VS2008 or later versions, can’t handle jpg files in CMYK mode. CR only can handle jpg files in RGB mode.

It’s funny that lower versions of CR (the one that came with VS2003) could handle any kind of jpg files. Thanks, Crystal.
