Embed PDF into report output

We recently had a requirement come through that asks us pull a document (pdf) that is associated to the data being returned. What they would "like" is to have that document embedded and viewed right on the report, so that when the report is printed the document data is readable from the printout. We have been able to do this by using iframes in the html output, but when opening the report as pdf it, obviously, doesn't work. We're trying to figure out if there's a way to do this with pdf output, but it seems to be entirely dependent on what's available in report studio - and this ability just doesn't seem to be there. Does anybody have an ideas?
