Does anyone know how i can go about merging preexisting pdf files and SQL server reporting services output. Can this be done in reporting services? For example, I have 5 pages from a pdf files which is created from another 3rd party software provider. I then i have output from sql reporting services. How can i merge these two outputs and deliver it over .Net/ ASP framework?
thanks
You could print the pdf to an image writer and use the images as background images in your Reporting Services report.
Or if the Reporting Services output is mainly data you could look at using the output data as input into you thrid party application (or vise versa).

|||I've tried what Leah suggested and the creation of the gif file was identical to the pdf (same width and height). However, when I used it as a background in the VS2005 report designer, the image became larger. How do you maintain the same dimensions of the original image when it is used as a background image?
Thanks
