Adding a background PDF using Apose.Pdf ssrs rendering extension

I would like to add an existing PDF file containing company logo and other info to every page of a PDF version of a reporting services report. Is it possible to use your PDF .Net Component in combination with your rendering extension to accomplish this?

Hello Jan,

Thanks for considering Aspose.

Aspose.Pdf for Reporting Services is a component which offers the capability to render .RDL report files into PDF format. However, Aspose.Pdf for .NET is a component which provides the feature of programmatically generating the PDF documents from scratch. You can use its API to generate the PDF documents.

I am afraid the feature of adding existing PDF file or any image as watermark while rendering the .RDL file into PDF format using Aspose.Pdf for Reporting Services is currently not supported. For the sake of correction, we already have logged this requirement as PDFREP-12739 in our issue tracking system. Our development team is already working over this requirement and as soon as the feature becomes available, we would be pleased to update you with the status of correction.

Please be patient and spare us little time. We apologize for your inconvenience.

PS, We have a product named Aspose.Pdf.Kit which offers the capability to manipulate/edit existing PDF documents. It also provides the feature of adding PDF document and images as watermark to existing PDF files. As per your requirement, once you have rendered the file with Aspose.Pdf for Reporting Services into PDF format, you may try using Aspose.Pdf.Kit to apply watermark over it. For more related information on how to use image as watermark, please visit Add Watermark. Nevertheless, in order to add PDF as watermark, please use BindPdf method of Stamp class instead of BindImage.

Hello,

I found a way to get access to the PDF before it is sent to the client by calling the existing PDF rendering extension from a newly created extension.
