I'm trying to acheive having a summary section of a report saved into a separate pdf file. (Basically trying to avoid running two reports for the same data.)
Is it possible to export a particular part of an SSRS report to a separate pdf file?
I.e. If I had a summary table/rectangle within the main report, can it be saved separately from the main report? Having a pdf editor to split the file as suggested in:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27938046/ssrs-export-subreports-as-seperate-reports.html
I don't feel would save the time/hassle it costs to run the report twice.
Would this be an application for a linked report? I haven't used these, but it would seem a lot of information to pass through parameters (or am I missing something?).
I don't think that can be done in SSRS: you'll need special code like in your example that splits the pdf for you. If you just want a hands-free option, create two reports and have them run via subscription into the folders you need.

Our cucmber-overview report looks like below.
We want to add a new column to this report with name "Author" of the script.
We are using selenium,Java and gherkin for automation.
Can anyone help ?
Thank you.
I'm not sure if there's an easy way to add this data during the test execution itself, but as the report is an HTML file, then you can surely manipulate it after the fact.
You'd probably need to save your additional information during the test execution in a separate file or database. Then, in a separate process after the test execution completes and the original report is generated, you should read this data and add it to the HTML file using jsoup or something similar.
Situation now:
I have a data warehouse job profile that publishes .txt file in Data folder every day in the morning. I open Tableau workbook which automatically updates data visualisations because of union I made. I save this workbook as extract and collages without Tableau Desktop can view it via Tableau Reader.
What I need:
This reporting format is heavily dependent on me and I need to automate this.
Is this even possible without Tableau Server?
Since Tableau Viewer can only use packaged workbooks with extracted data, you may not directly achieve this.
However, you may automate the packaging process using Tableau's command line parameters and the process will not be dependent on anyone anymore.
You may check the .PDF file on below link. Using that help document, you may create a .BAT file and get that .BAT file periodically started using Task Scheduler on your computer. The users then may open the packaged file from the network location you have saved. Or else (If all user computers have Tableau Desktop installed) you may put the file opening line at the end of the .BAT file, so the user can run the .BAT when they want to see the report.

Bernardo was correct in saying the Extract API can be used to programatically create extracts, and thus "refresh" an extract by simply recreating it (the point about Tableau Server is only relevant if you want to publish the extract that you create with the Extract API).
Where you might have trouble is that there is no currently supported way to programatically replace an extract within a .twbx file. That said, it should be possible to do this by simply renaming the .twbx to .zip (it is after all just an archive) and then using something like Python's zip module to manipulate the archive to replace the extract with your new extract.
NB: The Extract API can only be used to create .hyper files. If you want to work with .tde files, then you'll need to use the Tableau SDK instead
I am new in this field and I am looking to download a single report, but it has more than 200 values in a drop down. Can you guide me how to download all the report with 200 values in one go.
Let me give you an overview of what the data looks like:
There are 200 practices and each practices has 5 or 6 providers. I am new in healthcare industry. So, I need to manually click on each practice and each provider and click on the view report to see the report and then download the report. So, we have run the report and click to save in PDF for all 1000+ reports.
We use the standard version of SSRs and we don't have any Enterprise version of it.
Can you guide me what to do in this case? Thanks.
I would recommend using a data-driven subscription to generate these reports. When you set up the subscription, you can provide a query that lists all the practices. When the subscription runs, it will generate a separate copy of the report using each practice as a parameter value.
You can set the subscription to email the reports or save them in a folder. This way, it doesn't matter so much how long it takes to run and there is much less manual work for you once you set it up.
You need to amend the report definition so that the filters allow for 'Select Multiple' that way you can select all in the drop downs.
So for example:
The option "Allow Multiple Values" would allow you to Select all of that parameter.
You can also use URL Access and pass in the parameter you want.
Go to http://<server_name>/ReportServer/ and find the report you want.
Then tack on to the end the parameter name and value you want. ¶m=val¶m2=val2
Then add the &rs:Format= command and put your desired extension like CSV.
e.g. http://<server_name>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?<my_report_path>¶m=val¶m2=val2&rs:Format=CSV

If you have a lot of parameters, then run this through for loop. Python may be easiest.
Is possible add existing pdf file to ActiveReports 6 report?
We have two application.
First application create report and save it as pdf in shared folder.
Second application create own report and if report from first application exists - user want that report of first application will be added to report of second application.
Applications have different database. So regenerating first report not a solution for this case.
pdf combining is one workaround - which can be used if no solutions will be found.
You can do what you're describing with the rdf file format 'activereports' built in format. Not with pdf. However, once the second report is generated and the two documents ar combined you can export them to pdf
So far answer for question is No, it is not possible.
From Internet found only that in DataDynamic(ActiveReports is/was a part of DataDynamics) reports is property
"append existing .pdf to report"
But ActiveReports is another product, which haven't this possibilities.
In my case we decide to use #Issam workaround(save .rdf file to another folder and use it later with another report).
I accepted own answer, only because the reason, question was created, was to check if this kind of possibility exists for ActiveReports
I have a parent report that generates a series of subreports. After clicking the preview button, I can see the final report built with the actual data, and I may print it or save it to file. File may be a MS Word doc, a PDF or others. Perfect. I can do that individually to each report I need. My problem: I have a base report that will run a subreport several times. Instead of having them all in a big PDF file as output, I need to save each individual subreport as a file separately. Otherwise, I will have to run these subreports individually each at a time, which will eat up a lot of time, besides being more error prone. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
Can you create a subscription for each sub report to save a PDF to a file share?
