Grouping several reports together?

[midlothian]

I need to create a large book of work for my company, with many
different reports using different data. It all needs to come together
in one book, to be saved in PDF format. Some of the reports in the book
will use snaking columns, so I am wary of using subreports, as I know
they do not support snaking. The alternative I guess is to create
separate reports. Is there a way to group these separate reports into
one to be output to Snapshot? If anyone has any other suggestions as
well they are welcome. Thank you-

If you create them as multiple PDFs, you can use Adobe Acrobat to put
them together into one file fairly easily.

I use pdfFactory (http://www.fineprint.com) to create PDF files like
this. It allows you to queue various print jobs into one PDF file and
finalize the file when you're done. I would imagine that most PDF
creation software would allow you to do this in which case you could
simply run each individual report and then create the PDF when you're
done. If the PDF creation software you're using doesn't do this, check
out pdfFactory from FinePrint. It's only $49.99 and has served me
well.

Thanks for the suggestions -
But what I need to do is take the compilation of the reports out of the
hands of the users - I need to automate it as much as possible.

Both mentioned something on the order of "It allows you to queue various

What else do you want?

Maybe look at Stephan Lebans site on snapshot/pdf creator.
