Generating multiple pdf reports

[yousefsedikdar]

hello devs, i am trying to generate reports for all the connections in my file without doing a for loop and use the extention method SaveReportPdfAsync().

the issue is GeneratePdfForMutlipleAsync() method returns void and i don't know if the API client saves those reports in a default folder.
additionally, there isn't an extension method to save multiple reports.

let me know if i'm doing anything wrong.

Hello @yousefsedikdar ,

that is a good catch. We have a wrapper for the single PDF:
await conClient.Report.SaveReportPdfAsync(conClient.ActiveProjectId, 1, "Report.pdf");

but not for multiple. I will add it to the next client version.
As a workaround you can use this code:

await conClient.Project.OpenProjectAsync(filePath);
var connections = await conClient.Connection.GetConnectionsAsync(conClient.ActiveProjectId);

byte[] array = (byte[])(await conClient.Report.GeneratePdfForMutlipleWithHttpInfoAsync(conClient.ActiveProjectId, 
	connections.Select(x => x.Id).ToList(),
	"application/octet-stream")).Data;

using FileStream fileStream = File.Create("Sample.pdf");
await fileStream.WriteAsync(array, 0, array.Length);

Let me know if that works for you.

Regards
Tomas

yes, i have extended the ReportApiExt class to include another method that takes care of exporting multiple pdf's and it worked just fine.
