Combine two or more reports into one PDF Report

We are building a "Annual Statement" which will include a series or Reports
that will be bound into a Booklet. We will need a table of Contents (With
Page Numbers) and also need the pages to be continuous throughout.
Our question is what is the best approach to build this dynamically in
Report Server?
Build One "Master Report which includes Sub-Reports or Build the Sub Reports
and pass them into the Master?
We have a middle "Business Logic" Tier that we will be driving the creation
of these reoprts from.
Thanks!
...BryanUpdate:
I am thinking that we can programattically create a "Master RDL" that
includes the Sub Reports.
Question: would we be able to control the processing of the sub reports so
that they generate first then generate the Master Report genterating the
Table of Contents after the Sub Reports have been created (and we know the
sub Report Page Counts)
Any Suggestions would be really appreachiated
Thanks!

Did you ever get an answer? We are looking to do something similar. The
first page of one of our reports needs to be a table of contents.
Thanks
