Hi Thomas,

Thank you for writing. 

This is possible and to achieve it you should create a custom class that implements IPrintable. For example:

class MyPrinter : IPrintable
{
    public IPrintable Chart { get; set; }

    public IPrintable Pivot { get; set; }

    private int pages;

    public int BeginPrint(RadPrintDocument sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs args)
    {
        this.pages = Chart.BeginPrint(sender, args) + Pivot.BeginPrint(sender, args);

        return pages;
    }

    public bool EndPrint(RadPrintDocument sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs args)
    {
        return false;
    }

    public bool PrintPage(int pageNumber, RadPrintDocument sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs args)
    {
        if (pageNumber < pages)
        {
            this.Pivot.PrintPage(pageNumber, sender, args);

            return true;
        }

        this.Chart.PrintPage(1, sender, args);
        return false;
    }

    public Form GetSettingsDialog(RadPrintDocument document)
    {
        return null;
    }

Then you can use the above class to create new PrintDocument:

RadPrintDocument doc = new RadPrintDocument();

doc.AssociatedObject = new MyPrinter()
{
    Chart = chart1,
    Pivot = radPivotGrid1
};

RadPrintPreviewDialog dialog = new RadPrintPreviewDialog();
dialog.Document = doc;
dialog.ShowDialog();

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.

Hello Dimitar,

thank you for your help. It was a fast and very helpful answer.
Some modifications had to be done in order to have a good solution.

1. Printersettings 
2. First Chartprint then Pivotprint
3. Pagenumber check (in case of landscape = false different number of pages)

    class MyPrinter : IPrintable
    {
        public IPrintable Chart { get; set; }
        public IPrintable Pivot { get; set; }
        private int pagesP;
        private int pagesC;
        private int pages;
        public int BeginPrint(RadPrintDocument sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs args)
        {
            this.pagesC = Chart.BeginPrint(sender, args);
            this.pagesP = Pivot.BeginPrint(sender, args);
            this.pages = pagesC + pagesP;
            return pages;
        }
        public bool EndPrint(RadPrintDocument sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs args)
        {
            return false;
        }
        public bool PrintPage(int pageNumber, RadPrintDocument sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs args)
        {
            if (pageNumber <= pagesC)
            {
                this.Chart.PrintPage(pageNumber, sender, args);
                return pageNumber < pages;
            }
            this.Pivot.PrintPage(pageNumber-pagesC, sender, args);
            return pageNumber < pages;
        }
        public Form GetSettingsDialog(RadPrintDocument document)
        {
            return  Pivot.GetSettingsDialog(document);
       }
    }

best regards
