I'm planning to use .NET / SQL Server / SSRS to migrate an old application.
I've just started migrating the report over to SSRS (SQL Server 2012) and have bumped into a few limitations. I've searched the internet and found a few workarounds for them, but when combining them all it seems I've hit a brick wall.
So:
1. The report has both landscape and portrait
2. The report has a table of contents with page numbers
3. The footer has the page number of the report
Now I have read that the only way to get around the #1 limitation is to have multiple reports (some portrait and some landscape) and combine the PDFs later on using something like iTextSharp (not a problem). However, this will then break #2 and #3 as page numbers will reset for each new report.
Is there a way to handle this? I haven't even worked out how to do #2 yet (as there is nothing out of the box) but the concept remains the same.
I would have thought this was basic reporting functionality, but obviously not!
Thanks.
