crystal-reports - Crystal Reports 报表定义可以从文本定义导入吗？

Question

此线程Reverse Engineering Crystal Reports Definition Files解释说可以将报告定义导出为机器可读的文本。好吧，太好了，那么在那之后有什么方法可以将其重新导入，大概是在通过比出色的 Crystal Reports 设计器更方便的工具进行一些修改之后？

从这个问题建议的大局来看，是否可以为 Crystal Reports 构建一个第三方设计器工具，其输出可以是导出的报告定义，或者是我们可以用来实际运行报告的任何类型的输出后来好像它源自 Crystal Reports 设计器本身。

Crystal 报表开发版 v8 包含一个“报表设计器组件”，它使您可以通过 API 访问您可以从程序访问的所有内容。文档中对此 api 有许可说明:

不过，我不确定这是否适用于较新版本的 Crystal。
