What I do: Output all reports to RTF and view with external viewer (any
word processor on computer). See this tool for more information:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/XDev_Toolkit

With RTF you can have almost unlimited control over the formatting.

Note that on OS X with the latest Carbon widgetset, anything output via
the Printer object can be printed, previewed or saved to PDF via the OS
X Printer dialog. Too bad this isn't available on other systems.

Thanks.

Subject: [lazarus] What do you use for Reporting?


LazReport looks to have been a fairly recent addition.  I was wondering
what 
most people did for reporting from Lazarus.  I was thinking of:

1. Stick to text based reports - write a decent abstraction layer for 
formatting, etc.

2. Use PowerPDF to write all reports to standard pdf format.


A lot of hand coding both ways, but seems flexible enough.

Any input or suggestions?
