Embedding external file into the final report
Embedding external file into the final report
Hi,
Is it possible to embed an external PDF, DOCX or Excel file(s) into the report and have them available once the report is exported as PDF? I found on your web site that you mentioned that such an option would be available with 2016.2 version. I am using 2018.3.5 at the moment but cannot seem to get this to work.
Best regards,
Husein

Re: Embedding external file into the final report
Hi Andrew,
I had a look at the video but I have a different requirement. Basically I need to dynamically add files using C# code and then in the report to access these files using a hyperlink or some other mechanism. I have a questionnaire and each response has different file(s).There can be 100+ questions and answers and file(s) need to be enumerated after the answer.
I tried adding a test file to the Resources, but I cannot open the file using a hyperlink. Could you help me out with these issues please? Should I use report.Dictionary.Resources.Add() to add the files dynamically? Considering that I will know which file is added to which answer, how can I reference the file in a hyperlink?
Best regards,
Husein

Thank you.

Re: Embedding external file into the final report
So, how can I access embedded files once a PDF is generated?

Re: Embedding external file into the final report
Basically, the thing is like this. The application that I am building collects answers to the questions and as part of the answer there is a need for an evidence to be attached. Evidence(s) is a file or collection of files. When the report is generated with the answers provided by a user, I need to embed all the files that were attached in a questionnaire. After each answer I need to list these attached files for that answer so that a reader can click on the embedded file and open it.
