Reports with PDF Content
This tutorial describes how to add PDF content to a report.
Create a Report Layout
Create a report that should include PDF content.
In this tutorial, the report shows a purchase order. A Detail Report band displays order details and customer information. An inner Detail Report band lists products included in an order.
Add PDF Content
Add a PDF document for each product listed in an order.
1.Add a Detail Report band at the location where you want to place PDF content. As PDF content is rendered on separate pages, the report from this tutorial includes this band at the bottom. Bind the new band to the same data member as in the Create a Report Layout section above.
2.Drop the PDF Content item from the Toolbox onto the added band.
3.Bind the dropped control to the source of PDF data. Expand the control's smart tag and click the Expression property's ellipsis button below the Source property. In the invoked Expression Editor, select the data source field that stores PDF documents and click OK.
The report is ready and can be viewed in the Preview tab. Each PDF document is printed on a separate page and uses its own page settings.
