How to combine two layouts/ renders on one pdf

Hi,

 

I have to make a pdf report from my workflow. Theres two pieces that go into the pdf, 11 tables all on their own page, and 5 tables combined on one page (because they are small and dont need to be seperate). How do i now take both of these layouts and combine them into one pdf with 12 pages? I've tried almost every setting I could in the layout and rendor tools but I just cant figure it out. Below are pictures of what my workflow looks like and screenshots of my render settings. For reference, each render tool in the 11 pages and the 5 pages looks just how i want it to but when combined they get messed up.

 

Thanks:)

@maygross check the render tool example given in the designer, you will get an idea of how to combine different layout tools

Maybe another way to do it will e to generate 2 different PDFs and then merge them together.

My only assumption is that each part has its own layout and then you merge to one joined layout it get messed up as they now sharing the same layout.

As you have tables the data will sit in columns and I think that this is what messing it the 2 different designs that sitting on the same columns
