You first step won't be "generating the report and saving it as pdf". There are several design decisions to make; then you'll need to implement the report. Only then you can run it (with a print to PDF).

You can't simply put XML to SSRS and magically get a report in the design you want. You'll too extract data from XML and pass it to the report. If you decide to use SSRS and do it inside F&O (which is not your only option), then you'll likely want to put the data to a table and then either create a query-based report or put the data to temporary tables in an RDP class. If user input is required, design a data contract for parameters. Then you'll need to actual create the report and use your data there.

But there are many other ways how to generate a PDF document. For example, you may be interested in Adobe Document Generation in Microsoft Power Automate.

hi

martin ,

thanks for reply ,

if i use this case as you mention , in second point .

"But it seems to me that it wouldn't be the right approach in your case. You seem to want to create a report based on structured data, therefore you should use a reporting technology (such as SSRS) to generate a report and save it to PDF, rather than defining the whole PDF in your code."

can you plz suggest me any link so i can use it in my code because if i go step by step my first step will be generating the report and saving it as pdf .

thanks ,

Regards,

Dinesh.

If depends on what you mean by "to attach an xml document at the time of saving pdf". If you mean one of the two things I mentioned below, then the answer is yes.

If you mean something else, then I can't comment on it unless you explain it to us.

There is no X++ library for manipulating PDF files. You could utilize a .NET library such as PDFsharp and either call it from X++, or do the whole thing outside of F&O (e.g. in an Azure function). The vast majority of work would be about how to use the library, not about X++.

But it seems to me that it wouldn't be the right approach in your case. You seem to want to create a report based on structured data, therefore you should use a reporting technology (such as SSRS) to generate a report and save it to PDF, rather than defining the whole PDF in your code.
