packaging multiple reports into a single pdf

2004-03-25 09:57

we are using jasperreports to generate monthly reports for 20+ departments in our organization. Each department gets to have 3 different reports. We would like those 3 reports to be packaged within a single PDF file.

 

What's the best way to approach this? Can this be done with JR? If not, which PDF library should I be using alongside JR?

As I understand it, iText (the PDF library used by JasperReports) has a concat utility.

 

However, I use a patch for JR that allows you to export all your reports in one PDF. The general idea is that each report is filled on its own and then the PDFBatchExporter (part of the patch) generates one file PDF from all of the filled reports supplied.

 

Works like a champ.

I can't find any info on PDFBatchExporter. Is that a publicly available patch?
