Hi,
as I stated in the subject, I would like to combine several reports into 1 report.
I did a google groups search, however, but I couldn't find any good solution.
The most popular was the subreport, but I can't do this, since the print order is extremely complicated and chaotic. Each page would require a subreport... and there's about 100 pages.
Then many people recommended to convert the reports into a single PDF document. It's a good idea, but we can't have Acrobat installed on our computers. I'm in a big company, so having the permission to get anything installed on a single computer takes months... and since my application will be distributed around in the company, well it will take months for it to work on my coworker's computer.
And finally, there is this solution from Mr. Lebans... convert the reports into a Word or WordPad document. It's a good idea, but the exportation to Word does not work at all. The WordPad exportation works, but the report is out of the page bound, for some reason. Another problem is that I dont think Word supports both Landscape and Portrait orientations in 1 document (some of my reports are in landscape, while some others are in Portrait...) however Acrobat PDF does support that.
Here's the URI of Mr. Lebans' Report to Word converter: http://www.lebans.com/ReportUtilities.htm
Any better idea? like using GDI to create my own print job?
Thanks.
