The PDF Drill Through feature enables Report Library users to move from a summary report to a detail report, both of which are packaged together in a single PDF compound report. Drill Through functionality is similar to Drill Down functionality except Drill Through reports are static. A PDF document is produced that contains the summary report plus a detail report, with the detail report containing all the detail data for all the line items in the summary report. Clicking a Drill Through hyperlink navigates internally within the PDF file; no additional reports are run. The PDF file can be distributed to the library using ReportCaster, and when opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader, retains its full Drill Through functionality.
