Sorry if I mislead you,  I know how to manually add it to the reports but I
was hoping that Legacy seeing as how it stores the package would have a way
of printing the package.

Actually its quite simple to accomplish what you want.  Create your PDF report 
in Legacy then use a free, open source program called PDFsam Basic (stands for 
PDF split and merge) to append your pdf files to your Legacy report.  I use 
this program often and have never had a problem.  You can download it at 
https://pdfsam.org/downloads/.  Just get the Basic, its all you'll need.

Copy the text from the PDF file and paste it into Notes or Stories for the 
individual. Both of those print.

Is this a valid expectation or do I have to cobble the whole thing to get it

Nope, u cannot do that. A PDF file cannot be printed in any reports. 

Copy the text from the PDF file and paste it into Notes or Stories for the 
individual. Both of those print.

[LegacyUG] Help with a report, please

2018-08-22 Thread Ian Macaulay 
I have captured text and PDF documents pertaining to an individual and they
are stored under media/document via the add media bit in the software.

I now want this file in its entirety to be produced when I run a report.

In this case I want to run an individual report as a PDF and have the three
documents, one of which is about 20 pages, as part of the report?

Is this a valid expectation or do I have to cobble the whole thing to get
it done?
