Attaching external PDFs to a report 1

[Yazster]

Hi all, hoping someone can help.

I have a report that creates a Purchase Order. I'm being asked to attach "Terms and Conditions" page to the report (page 2). This new page can vary based on the sales region, and I've been provided 12 different versions of terms and conditions, already formatted as a PDF from the legal department.

So here's my question, is there a way to include one of these PDFs into my existing report as a second page, using a parameter to determine which one to grab? The only way I can see of doing this is to literally create 12 new reports, and copy the PDF contents into each one, using a subreport in the main Purchase Order report to grab the appropriate one. This is just simply a huge amount of work, and before doing this, I want to make sure there's no way of including an existing PDF as a page 2 to my existing report.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Might be able to do as straight PDF...not sure...but

What you can do is save the PDFs as jpegs and load them into your project

Put ALL the images onto page 2 of the report in teh same position and set the visible property for each such that only 1 at a time shows dependant on your parameter...

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Thanks Geoff,

That's exactly the solution that I came up with yesterday.
Worked like a charm!

I appreciate the reply,
