Attaching/Exporting an Existing PDF to a report

[fat controller]

I have a small bit of code which exports reports directly as PDF to a network folder; on occasion, there is a supplementary document (almost invariably PDF, and can be forced to be so) which should go along with the report being exported.

Is there any way possible to either attach the entire PDF file to the end of the report being exported (hyperlink to the file can be stored in the related record), or to have it copied and pasted to the same export folder?

It doesn't work well. You're trying to make a lesser copy of a good copy.

You would Make a new report,
In it are 2 sub reports,
Sub rpt 1 is your report,
Sub rpt 2 is another report that loads the PDF as an image.

Now all are in 1 report. But it doesn't look good as the original PDF.

Ah, in which case I would be better off putting a hyperlink in the report that links to the network location that contains the second file? I'm afraid it needs to be as good as it possibly can be, as there is a significant amount of detailed drawings and plans.

Thank you
