Combine 2 pdfs created using mvc razor views

Hi I am a bit confused on how I can combine the pdfs created from 2 separate razor views. One thing I was trying was to save the report content to a byte[] and then return that for both views and go from there to merge the pdfs but the byte[] is always empty:

 [EnableJsReport()]
 public byte[] /*ActionResult*/ Overview()
 {
    MemoryStream buffer = new MemoryStream();
    HttpContext.JsReportFeature().Recipe(Recipe.ChromePdf)
            .Configure((r) => { r.Template.Chrome = new Chrome { 
                       Landscape = true, 
                       Format = "A4", 
                       MediaType = MediaType.Screen, 
                       MarginBottom = "50px", 
                       MarginLeft = "0px", 
                       MarginRight = "50px", 
                       MarginTop = "50px" }; })
            .OnAfterRender((r) =>
            {
                r.Content.CopyTo(buffer);
                //r.Content.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            });
    return buffer.ToArray();
}

The other option I was trying was to create a template which I found from another forum post, but I am not sure how to get the razor view content into the string content for the template:

        var rs = new LocalReporting().UseBinary(JsReportBinary.GetBinary()).AsUtility().Create();

        var report = await rs.RenderAsync(new RenderRequest()
        {
            Template = new Template()
            {
                Recipe = Recipe.ChromePdf,
                Engine = Engine.None,
                Content = "" //how to get razor view here?
            }
        });
        var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
        await report.Content.CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
        memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

Calling pdf utils from .net client can look like this

You now need to call both views, get the string from it and pass it as Content.
I believe you can use controller extension method RenderViewToString.
