[CLOSED] Co-ordinated Compound report inside compound
Hi

I have a co-ordinated compound report which has 3 reports in it. I need to include a summary report at the end. so I created a normal compound report and included initial co-ordinated compound in page 1 and summary report in page 2. But summary report is not being displayed.

Can some one help me on this?

thank you

You can't combine the 'classic' and 'co-ordinated' compound report together.

I would suggest one of two things.

1. Try to add the summary to the coordiated report (Difficult assuming merge=yes)

2. Combine these after they are separately produced.

What format is the output ?

Hi Waz

Both are PDF reports.

I am not sure what you meant by saying "add summary to coordinated report).

Thanks

Whether you can add a new component to the co-ordinated report.

Otherewise, we use PDFBOX to combine two PDF document together.

The command we use is:

! java -jar pdfbox-app-1.3.1.jar PDFMerger file1.pdf file2.pdf output.pdf


The option PDFMerger adds file2 to the end of file1 and writed the output to output.pdf.

We had to specify the location of java, and the PDFBox jar file to get it to work, but we are on unix.
