Fair enough, as I said our reporting needs are very simple, just a header and the required data, after downloading AlivePDF and looking at it for a bit I can tell this is the front runner. FlexReport's lack of an install guide and not having as much documentation marked it down in my eyes but I can't fault it for that since the creator is incredibly busy and can't work on it as much as he would.
Anyhoo, it would seem that my only problem with this would be to figure out when to make a new page. Hopefully that shouldn't be too hard. How I'm thinking this will go down is that when the user decides on a report, the app will collate the data, generate the PDF and display it in a window component containing an HTML component. --- In [email protected], "Richard Rodseth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've only looked at AlivePDF briefly, but like the Flex print job, you > can point it at a component you want added to the PDF.
