report design question

rbuser

I have a monthly customer invoice activity report that list customer
invoices for the monthly grouped by customer with each group starting on a
new page. I would like to save each customer's pages of report to separate
file so that I can either email or fax using other program. How do I do it?

You can use one of the third party devices to generate a PDF. Pragnaan
devices has the ability to email a report.

You could also generate the report to PDF or another file format. Once the
report generates a file, you can then use INDY to send them.

There are two ReportBuilder add-on products which support these formats. For
more information surf:

I guess I did not make it clear on my question. I can export the report to
PDF now. My question is if the report is a 10 page report with page 1 to 3
for customer A, page 4 for customer B, page 5 to 9 for customer C and page
10 for customer D, that how do I separate the report to 4 different files
like rep001, rep002, rep003, rep004 because the number of files changes each
time when I run the report?

Are you using subreports? If you know which pages are to be sent to which
customer, you can generate the pages to cache, and then send the pages
directly to a device. You'll have to set the TppPage.AbsolutePageCount
property to reflect the page count of the pages you are sending to each
customer. To print to the cache, see this example which reorders and sends
the pages to the selected device:
