  I want to create a combined report (kind of report book) which contains multiple reports with different templates. Some reports are only single page static and some reports will have dynamic data spanning over many pages.

  As shown in the attachment I have a requirement where If a report takes only a half a page move the content of the second report to the first report’s page. Purpose is to save space.

  Is there a solution in FlexReports for this (or in ActiveReports)

  Hello,
  
  You may create a master report and add all the three report as SubReport. It will render the reports continuously.
  
  Please refer to the following documentation link:

  Thanks for the answer. Does this feature supports in ActiveReports? I cannot find a sample relating to ASP.NET Core 2.2. Is there any?

  Hello,

  Yes, this is possible in ActiveReports. You can use the multiple “SubReport” in the MainReport to achieve your requirement. Please refer to the following link for more information:
  
  https://help.grapecity.com/activereports/webhelp/AR13/webframe.html#SubreportReportItem.html
  
  https://help.grapecity.com/activereports/webhelp/AR13/webframe.html#SubreportinRDLReport.html

  Sorry to mention that AR does not support .Net Core. ActiveReports still need the .Net FW for the rendering of the reports. However, you can preview the report in Asp.Net core application. What you can do:
  
  1: Prepare a reporting service in .Net FW
  
  2: Create a viewer application in Asp.Net core using JSVIewer(Part of AR)
  
  3: Use the above report service in the Asp.Net core application to preview the report.

  Could you please confirm if this method will fulfill your requirement, I will create the sample for you.

  Also, .Net Core support is scheduled to release in our next major release .i.e AR14.

  Please feel free to revert if you have any question regarding this.

  Thanks.
