Hmm, that's disappointing. I'd have expected more from JasperReport. On
the other side, it's very satisfying that FOP at least produces the
report (did you do the page-sequence optimization already?). I've never
used a Java-based reporting engine so I can't really give any
recommendations. I used to work on a non-public Delphi-based one in an
earlier life so I know that large documents shouldn't be a problem if
done right. A search on the net should reveal other tools. Maybe someone
else on this list has some recommendations. Sorry.
