[WD24] - Creating a PDF file
May 10, 2019 10:08AM
Hi All

I want to create a PDF file which will contain some text, some tables, some pie charts, etc. in some layout of my design. What would be the best way to create such a PDF file?

Thanks!

Michael and All,

I have a question; the report I want to create will contain a fixed number of pages, say 3. Each page will have different content, a few charts, a table, some text. I would like each page to have its own header and footer but, obviously, each page has a different body. I cannot see how to do that? Any suggestions?

TIA

Thanks Michael, will look at that.

Also, I guess one could create several different reports, print each to its own PDF file, and then use PDFMerge() to combine the individual report PDF files into a final PDF file?

[UPDATE] - Sequencing reports is even better smiling smiley

Thanks
