RE: [flexcoders] Whats the best way of adding print/pdf output to a flex app?

There is actually printing capability built natively into Flex.  It uses your OS printing capabilities.  If you have a pdf-print driver installed, you can print to pdf.

By all means... I am thrilled there is so much contribution to this topic. One of my interests is to also print Charts that were created as a result from a data driven query. So a backend/server based data-driven solution alone will not help, I am afraid. Flash paper sounds promising... Since these are Adobe / MM related products, it would be kind of super-nice ;-) wink if there could be a native mx:control (like a print-page container).

 

Ideas?

Continuing this thread -

 

Since FlashPaper is native to the whole "Macromedia and Adobe" suite of products, would FlashPaper be just as good of a solution as a PDF?

 

And with that said, if FlashPaper is an acceptable solution for some users, could a FlashPaper document be created directly within a Flex Application?

 

This would give a user, a ton of power, if they wanted to create documents for distribution, or for hard copy / archival purposes.

 

I'd love to hear more regarding this topic, and I hope you don't mind me chiming in on your original thread Iko - I am sure any further information will benefit both of us :)

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

I would say your best bet is likely to store your data into a database (which you're likely already doing) then use a backend PDF writer or report generation script in whatever backend language you're using. Coldfusion has this built in I know, and I know there are components available for .Net that allow quite a bit of flexibility.

Assume you were producing reports with columns, summaries, charts, that
sort of thing, is there a good way of getting this to a printer or pdf
file? Any components out there that will help dimensions, page breaks,
etc.

Thanks
