Yes, our users definitely want the Excel generation. Now that you
mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if PDF generation was in the future
as well, but we definitely need to generate Excel as an option. My
guess is that the file is generated and then further down the pipeline
on a different machine someone will be doing edits to the file.

Do you really need to get xls why not PDF? Do people have to change
things afterwards?

either. Which is why we're looking for something to let us directly
write the binary file format and OOo seemed liked a good possibility.
Did you thought about jakarta-POI?
Thanks for the pointer. I'll definitely take a look at that as well.
The downside there is that its Java and we're using C++, so we'd need to
do JNI or run a VM process and use RMI or something. Then that also
requires including the Java runtime with our installer. Anyway, worth
looking into and keeping on the list of possibilities.
