Answer 1

This is a fairly common request, that we are working on but have not solved yet.

One approach that is not ideal that you can use today is to run each report and then combine the output from each rptdocument. BIRT-exchange has an example of this here for PDF and HTML. The problem is that the page numbering will not be correct and the TOC will not be right either.

The better approach is if there was a merge report engine task that would allow you to combine multiple rptdocuments into a single rptdocument with appropriate pagination and TOC. There is a bugzilla entry here that I hope to see in the 2.5 (June 2009) version of the product. If you are interested please have a look in and give your feedback.

Finally, one of the features that I would like to see in the product for 2009 is some refinement to the DesignEngine API that allows a developer to easily compose a single report design at runtime, using components from other report designs. I have created a bugzilla to track this too.

If none of these seem appropriate let me know and I will see if I can help you find a different solution.
