ReportViewer / ReportBook / How To

[Raymond]

I have a few standard invoice formats that I create from the database.  Once these are produced I can display them in the ReportViewer by assigning the ReportViewer.Report property the value of the ReportBook that I have created with all of the Report objects..  That is great and it works,  now comes a requirement from the business.

1. I need to append / merge existing PDF documents that are stored in the server filesystem to the end of these newly created reports.  I can do this easily by consuming the result from the RenderReport method from the ReportProcessor class, however getting this result back into a report book format is not so easy.

So I need some ideas on how I can take my newly created Telerik reports in Report/ReportBook format and add the PDF's that I have read
into memory with iTextSharp to the end and then display in the ReportViewer.

I hope I was clear enough in my description

Thank you,



Ray

Hi Ray,

Viewing PDF files in the report viewer gets out of the scope of Telerik Reporting. Our suggestion is to export the report in PDF and utilize iTextSharp to merge the PDF. Then you can display the PDF with Adobe's PDF plugin.
