Windows Update KB3102429 Does not play well with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008

We have developed a .Net C# program that uses Crystal reports to create a report from raw data. We started getting customers with crystal reports errors.  The only common thread was it started happening after a specific date. After tracing it down we came up with KB3102429 as being the issue.  

The app is developed in Visual Studio 2008 and uses Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008.  Would an upgrade have solved this issue ?

    I also have an issue with converting the crystal reports data to a PDF file and save the file on the hard drive.

    The update will prevent saving the file on your hard drive or network location.

    I uninstalled the update (temporarily) and the isssue is solved, so the issue occurs in update KB3102429.

    This issue occurs on Windows 7 and 8.1 machines.

    Please inform us about a final fix for the issue.

    We experienced the same problem with Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 in reports that include Arial font.

    Uninstalling the KB3102429 the export to PDF works fine again. Arial font v6.88 comes back to v6.87 after uninstal this update.

    Due to big number of reports, in our case it's not a solution to change this font in all the reports.

    Please alert as soon as new patch will be available. Thanks in advance.

    This issue also occurs in .NET C# programs developed in Visual Studio 2010.

    We have reverted the update and are searching for a solution.

    What upgrade are you referring to?

    We had the same problem with Crystal Reports generating PDFs from our CRM application, after this update was rolled out, when we rolled it back it fixed the problem. Seems like it is related to the fonts used to display Azerbaijan currency symbols. I doubt many organisations would need this, so since this is not a security fix it is safe to uninstall.

    ... same here with an old version of Crystal Reports (9.0) on a Windows 2012 R2 server: error while exporting report data to a PDF document. It took me hours to figure out that this error was caused by KB3102429 :-(
