new report page and append front panel image

Hi,

I am trying to create a report using the Report Generation toolkit in LabView 6.1 which gets printed to PDFCreator.

I have 4 front panel images that I am appending to the report, and I would like each image to be on its own page.  I am trying to accomplish this using the New Report Page vi, but it doesn't appear as though it is putting any page breaks in the report, and no errors are being generated.  Do the page breaks that this vi puts in only apply to text?  What is another method that can accomplish putting each image on its own page?  Simply creating and printing 4 reports will not work, since I need the 4 images to be in the same PDF file, and PDFCreator does not support appending to PDF files instead of overwriting.

Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,

According to the Help for "New Report Page.vi" you can append either text or another file to the new page.  Are you creating a standard report?

Hi Jennifer,

Yes, I am using a standard report.

I was able to work around this issue by creating 4 individual PDFs, and using another PDF tool to merge them, which I call with the System Exec vi.

Thanks,
Ian
