Report Server: Combine Reports

[Laura_Hardie]

I have multiple Report Templates created in the Report Server.

I would like to know if it is possible to create a “report” that combines multiple report templates into one PDF?

For example, I have report templates: Report 1, Report 2, Report 3

I can run any of those reports individually. However, is there an easy way to create a PDF that contains all three?

Hi Laura, welcome to our community .

Currently, this is not possible unfortunately. The best/easiest way would be to combine these reports in one template. The report container can hold an “infinite” number of items which often helps when combining reports. Another workaround might be to create three preview files (*.LL) and download them from the report server. You can then write a quite simple application that combines these three into one and converts it to PDF then. Helpful posts:

Converting Preview Files to Other Formats

Valid from List & Label 10 Starting with version 10, List & Label offers you the possibility to convert preview files to other formats. To do so, use the APIs LlStgsysConvert() and LlStgsysStorageConvert(). Most of the components offer a very comfortable wrapper for the Stgsys API interface. General: LlStgsysStorageConvert("...\preview.ll", "...\preview.pdf", "PDF") The first parameter is the source file, the second is the target file and the third is the required target format.

We also plan on a List & Label feature that will allow to combine arbitrary reports in version 26. It might also become available in the Report Server sooner or later then.
