Hi everybody,
Is it possible to have a pdf report per group.
Anyone can give me a hint how it could be done ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Adam.

    Hi Adam,

    There is no built-in feature to print each group to a separate PDF document
    however we are strongly considering adding a feature like this to a later
    release of ReportBuilder.

    One option would be to create a loop that alters your dataset search
    criteria to only return each group's data, then Export each report
    separately by calling Report.Print inside the loop.

    Wouldn't it work to set the group to start new page on group change. This
    can be done in the group editor by goin to the report/groups menu from the
    report designer view/tab.

    Hi Branden,

    Yes, this is possible only if each group is contained in a single page.
    ReportBuilder is not designed to start and end print/device jobs based on
    the start and end of a group.
