Hi, well first of that's the wrong forum to discuss Base you should ask your question on the dba-subproject.
Nevertheless OOs reporting capabilities are very low depending but maybe its sufficient for your needs. Another idea is to look at other java-technologies: - http://jasperreports.sf.net - http://www.eclipse.org/birt are two of those providing you with visual designers and PDF-Output support.
