Fusion Charts how to update exporting (Server Side)

I'm using FuscionChart FCExporter class to export charts to Pdf, PNG, etc. The problem I'm facing is I want a page after the chart to show a Grid View print out of the data.

There a few options for implementing this:

1. Create chart PDF then gridview PDF and merge the two documents
-Problem: I have no idea where to start with this. I'm unsure where in the class to call
the other document and merge.

2. Update routine to allow a GridView to be added after the chart element is added to the
docuement.
Problem: The closest I came to it working was getting a second page to print in the document but the Grid View would never show and I'm unsure why.


Code For adding elements to PDF:

private byte[] getPDFObjects(bool isCompressed)
{
MemoryStream PDFBytes = new MemoryStream();

//Store all PDF objects in this temporary string to be written to ByteArray
string strTmpObj = "";


//start xref array
ArrayList xRefList = new ArrayList();
xRefList.Add("xref\n0 ");
xRefList.Add("0000000000 65535 f \n"); //Address Refenrece to obj 0

//Build PDF objects sequentially
//version and header
strTmpObj = "%PDF-1.3\n%{FC}\n";
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(strTmpObj), 0, strTmpObj.Length);

//OBJECT 1 : info (optional)
strTmpObj = "1 0 obj<<\n/Author (FusionCharts)\n/Title (FusionCharts)\n/Creator (FusionCharts)\n>>\nendobj\n";
xRefList.Add(calculateXPos((int)PDFBytes.Length)); //refenrece to obj 1
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(strTmpObj), 0, strTmpObj.Length);

//OBJECT 2 : Starts with Pages Catalogue
strTmpObj = "2 0 obj\n<< /Type /Catalog /Pages 3 0 R >>\nendobj\n";
xRefList.Add(calculateXPos((int)PDFBytes.Length)); //refenrece to obj 2
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(strTmpObj), 0, strTmpObj.Length);

//OBJECT 3 : Page Tree (reference to pages of the catalogue)
strTmpObj = "3 0 obj\n<< /Type /Pages /Kids [";
for (int i = 0; i < numPages; i++)
{
strTmpObj += (((i + 1) * 3) + 1) + " 0 R\n";
}
strTmpObj += "] /Count " + numPages + " >>\nendobj\n";

xRefList.Add(calculateXPos((int)PDFBytes.Length)); //refenrece to obj 3
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(strTmpObj), 0, strTmpObj.Length);


//Each image page
for (int itr = 0; itr < numPages; itr++)
{
string iWidth = getMeta("width", itr);
string iHeight = getMeta("height", itr);
//OBJECT 4..7..10..n : Page config
strTmpObj = (((itr + 2) * 3) - 2) + " 0 obj\n<<\n/Type /Page /Parent 3 0 R \n/MediaBox [ 0 0 " + iWidth + " " + iHeight + " ]\n/Resources <<\n/ProcSet [ /PDF ]\n/XObject <</R" + (itr + 1) + " " + ((itr + 2) * 3) + " 0 R>>\n>>\n/Contents [ " + (((itr + 2) * 3) - 1) + " 0 R ]\n>>\nendobj\n";
xRefList.Add(calculateXPos((int)PDFBytes.Length)); //refenrece to obj 4,7,10,13,16...
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(strTmpObj), 0, strTmpObj.Length);


//OBJECT 5...8...11...n : Page resource object (xobject resource that transforms the image)
xRefList.Add(calculateXPos((int)PDFBytes.Length)); //refenrece to obj 5,8,11,14,17...
string xObjR = getXObjResource(itr);
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(xObjR), 0, xObjR.Length);

//OBJECT 6...9...12...n : Binary xobject of the page (image)
byte[] imgBA = addImageToPDF(itr, isCompressed);
xRefList.Add(calculateXPos((int)PDFBytes.Length));//refenrece to obj 6,9,12,15,18...
PDFBytes.Write(imgBA, 0, imgBA.Length);
}

//xrefs compilation
xRefList[0] += ((xRefList.Count - 1) + "\n");

//get trailer
string trailer = getTrailer((int)PDFBytes.Length, xRefList.Count - 1);

//write xref and trailer to PDF
string strXRefs = string.Join("", (string[])xRefList.ToArray(typeof(string)));
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(strXRefs), 0, strXRefs.Length);
//
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(trailer), 0, trailer.Length);

//write EOF
string strEOF = "%%EOF\n";
PDFBytes.Write(stringToBytes(strEOF), 0, strEOF.Length);

PDFBytes.Close();
return PDFBytes.ToArray();
