Question

Hi,
We are using SSRS 2019. we have requirement from our customer to merge the external PDF files(scanned copy of manual log books) while launching SSRS report as single PDF file.

Please let me know the best way to implement this.

Thanks,

Answer 1

That's not possible. You can not embedd a PDF or other document in a SSRS report, you can only link it if it's stored on a share or within SSRS.

Answer 2

Hi @TamilselvanP ,
I'm afraid you can't embed pdf files in SSRS. But you could try to embed the PDF in the report as Images:

• To Embed the PDF inside SSRS report you need to first embed PDF in database as the image data and show them on SSRS report
• Use the .net language either C# or VB to convert this data into the image.
• Use the image control to show these images, which are your PDF document embedded in database.

For more details please refer to: Embedding a PDF Document.
Best Regards,
Joy
