Working with Reporting Services 2008 r2.
So here’s my issue:
We have 5 reports that need to be combined into an “All Reports” report, which was originally done using VB6.
I created a master report with 5 subreports, and of course, it doesn’t work.
I need to get certain reports to render as landscape, and others as portrait. Also, I want to get the headers and footers from each of the subreports.
I know that SSRS doesn’t support either of these, but is there a way to “pre-render” the subreports as PDF, and then combine them into one PDF via reporting services?
This cannot be done out of the box. The only way you’re going to accomplish this is through custom code. There are tools out there that you can build/buy to merge your PDFs into a single document. I can’t comment on which tool is the best approach, but I can tell you custom code is the only approach.
