unifying multiple Print stream

there are times you need to batch produce different reports in a single stream.
e.g you need to create a single pdf report file or microsoft document imaging
file of several reports. using the current system calling somereport.render()
will open a new file therefore creating several files for multiple reports even
though they are part of a single batch stream.

Agbeniga,

In the meantime, I have noticed one or two people say that some of the 
third-party PDF products (I /think/, for example, PDF995) provide a 
means to concatenate different documents into one. I have no idea 
whether this applies to MS Document Imaging files, but it would not 
surprise me if they also had that ability.
