    How to output multiple reports to a single PDF

    My question is simple, but I'm pretty sure the solution is not. I'm a beginner but I'm willing to learn. I'd like to print the following reports to a single PDF. Is this possible in Access 2016Data Analytics - Formulation - MBR.zip?
    1. rpt_MBR_Summary


    2. rpt_MBR_Weighing
    3. rpt_MBR_Blending
    4. rpt_MBR_Compressing
    5. rpt_MBR_Coating
    6. rpt_MBR_ContinuousCoating

    According to your link, there is no method in the current API to output multiple reports into one PDF. I only saw a way to output one report to PDF via VBA. I cannot use subreports because the reports are too long.

    Let us know if you find a way.

    Can you elaborate? Is there a maximum size of the output file, or what are you referring to?

    My reports are near the max limit of one report. When I insert them as subreports, the windows are fairly large. There would be enough room for maybe 2 subreports out of the 6 I need to print to file.

    I'll keep hunting and post here if I do

    In all my years I have never had to consider the maximum size of anything (except the database file). I guess you are nearing one of these (it would be interesting to know which one):

    Feel free to look at my database. The reports do reach a maximum of 22.75" occasionally. rpt_MBR_Blending is a prime example.

    I have a PDF print driver that I use to create PDFs named Primo PDF that has an option to append to an existing PDF (although I have never tried it).

    So print the first report, then append the next 5 reports to the PDF. Might be an option..... and did I say it is free???

    (not Nitro Pro --- $$$)
