How can I programmatically combine reports with different orientations?

I am using the following code to combine two reports programmatically:

public PXAction<BAccount> Print1099Reports;
[PXButton(CommitChanges = true, Category = "Actions")]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Print 1099 Cover", )]
protected virtual void print1099Reports()
{
var reportParams = new Dictionary<string, string>();
string bAccountID = Base.CurrentBAccount.Current.AcctCD;
reportParams.Add("BAccount.BAccount", bAccountID);

PXReportRequiredException ex = null;
ex = PXReportRequiredException.CombineReport(ex, "ZRLTTX03", reportParams, false);
ex = PXReportRequiredException.CombineReport(ex, "ZRLTTX04", reportParams, false);

if (ex != null)
{
ex.Mode = PXBaseRedirectException.WindowMode.New;
throw ex;
}
}

However, the reports have different portrait/landscape orientation, and this is not taken into account.

 

Is this possible, and if not, when will it be?

To my knowledge, this is not possible because Acumatica renders report with a single page settings object. You can create a feature request for it here: Ideas | Community (acumatica.com)

 

Alternatively you can try rolling your own if you render Acumatica report to PDF file.

Get PDF file from Report using Code - Acumatica Developers Blog


And combine the output PDF file with a third party PDF library.

Not the answer I wanted, but it is what I expected. Thank you.

Hi @Deetz  and @Hughes Beausejour , Did you try with sub reports?

@ChandrasekharM - I can confirm this does NOT work.
