Hi

I have successfully developed an order report that displays in PDF format in an ASP.NET application. However, I would also like to be able to have an option in the application for the user to select a number of reports from a list, hit a single button, and get back a PDF report for each report. These should be concatenated together.

Firstly, I considered having a list control, and generate each report as a subreport within in the list. But this loses the report headers, which are rather important.

I also played around with using WebClient to get each report back as a byte array, and then concatenate the byte arrays to give a single report, but this doesn't seem to to work.

Can anybody help me with this? I am at a loss!

So you want the ability to merge pdfs ?

Although you cant do this directly in rs there are plenty of tools to merge pdf files. Do a google search for PDF merge
or Merging PDF software.

I have been using asppdf for about a week. It works OK and it will merge pdfs. http://www.asppdf.com/ A single server license costs $299.00 and you get a free 30 day evaluation.
