    Can't do it for an archived file. The archive is made up of draw commands
    for each page. There is no data associated with it, (the advantage of
    archiving), so the pages can't be regenerated. To get this to work, the
    pages have to be regenerated because of groups, keep together and new page
    actions. This would involve either caching the data somewhere or caching
    all the possible page permutations for each drill down in the entire report.
    Implementing either one defeats the purpose of archiving for speed. Use a
    template and connect it to data to show drill downs in the preview.
