Hi Ahmed

I suppose the real question has to be: how are you going to render the PDF files within the PB DW report? DFs are typically rendered in a browser or PDF viewer, there is no such embedded technology in PB.

How would you attempt this in another language? I'm struggling to envisage the final report as each row will create a new page for the PDF report embedded. Surly it would look a mess.

The only thought I have is perhaps merging the PDFs together, but will only work if you are not reporting any data from your table.

Sorry not a huge help.

Hi Ahmed ;

     As you probably know, PB does not handle native PDF data streams. So one solution could be to convert the PDFs into something like plain text or rich text to have the DW Report display / print these attachments at the end.

     In PB 2022 R3 though you have a native Web Browser control. In that control you could display the the PDF. So while displaying the DW Report, you could also display the PDF file(s) in the WB Control adjacent to the DE Control or have a Command Button in the report where the App user could have the App open say a Response window displaying the related PDF for a given row. For printing, you could use the PrintdataWindow() for the report followed by printing the Web Browser's content right after to achieve what I think that you are looking for.

     Another approach with PB 2022, would be to save the report as a PDF file using the new NativePDF feature in Appeon PB. Then use the new PDFObject class to merge the DW report PDF with the related PDF attachments to create one contiguous report. Then again print the merged PDF report using the Web Browser control.

Food for thought ... HTH
