Crystal Decisions Viewer XI was officially released in 2007 as a free standalone .rpt file viewer. The Crystal Decisions Viewer allows users to open, explore, and view Crystal Reports documents, and generate customized views of the data on their desktops without the need for customization from the report designer.

Prior to that, report designers had to share their reports using static document viewing and printing formats. But now, using the Crystal Decisions Viewer, anyone can view the Crystal Reports Documents, drill down into the report tables and find the information they need, and then save their own personalized view. For business users, this means increased freedom as there is no limit to the amount of people that can gain additional insights from the same report and make data-driven decisions faster. Thus, Crystal Decisions Viewer reduces report design time by enabling report consumers to do more with existing reports, without the need for customized development. In addition, the solution allows users to easily share their files in their native .rpt format via email or on the secure crystalreports.com on-demand platform.

Here is how Thomas, vice president of product marketing at Business Objects, defines Crystal Decisions Viewer: "Crystal Reports Viewer XI helps shed light onto information by allowing users to more easily share and interact with Crystal Reports documents. Anyone who receives a Crystal Reports document can quickly download the viewer to open and navigate the data in the report just like with the full application, only without the cost."
