When you find out - please enlighten us :-)
For all it warts the Crystal VCL has been good to me it one limitation in
you app
is that you can't reference BLOBs in formulae, but it does directly write
PDF's
Its a great fat DLL but one the plus side it is widely used

> /. Good visual design UI (similar to QR).
> /. Preview, print (export).
> /. No or light deployment overhead, ideally compile and run.
