Answer 1

Im guessing you are putting the page number inside subreport. Page numbers should be in the page footer section of the main report.

Answer 2

You page numbering won't be correct because by using that approach you are creating 2 reports and merging them into 1 PDF, instead of creating a single report.

If you embed the second report into the first as a subreport, the page numbering should then be correct.
