Want to merge uploaded pdf at the end of SSRS report file instead of having them as Hyperlink in the SSRS report.
I believed it is better to merge existing pdf files to an SSRS report after the SSRS report has been generated. Then you can use a free tool called PdfSharp to merge your documents together.

I have a report made with SSRS in Visual Studio and located on a Dynamics CRM solution. When the user launches the report, the Dynamics CRM solution launches a preview window with the correct data and correct format. This particular report HAS to be exported to Excel, because then the users will use the exported Excel file to upload the data to a banking application.
The thing is that visually the exported file is perfect, all the data on its expected columns, number formats and so on. But the exported Excel file (with three rows as an example) weights 7Kb. If you open it on Excel and save it, it grows to 10Kb.
My problem is that the exported file is rejected by the banking application, but if we open the same file in Excel and then save it in Excel then is accepted by the bank. It's like the SSRS exporting routine generates a different Excel format, one that it's not distinguishable by the naked eye. I've opened both XSLX files and compare them and the XML generated is quite different in both.
I'm really stumped by this, been googling about it for the last three days.
I need to do a mail merge. Our form is in PDF format. I have my data in an Excel file. Is there an easy way to mail merge?

I do not program or know how to run scripts etc. so sending me code wont help.
Thanks

I'm generating static HTML reports through Pentaho's integration tool. I'm developing the reports in Pentaho report designer. My reports have several rows of data which when viewed on the BI server can be exported to csv or excel. I'm looking for that same functionality built into my prpt reports using the report designer. My reports will be viewed separately from the BI server but the user must still have the ability to export the results. I have been unsuccessful in finding any resources for Pentaho Report Designer and CTools are not an option.
