You could also check "relatorio" and "pod" if you are willing to work
with open office.
Gaetan's Appy Framework does exactly that. It works with odt documents.
For simple reporting, it is ok. But for complex reports(which is easy in
VFP), I found that had to do too much of tinkering.
Also it needs Libreoffice to run in silent mode to generate the pdf.
check out PollyReports which is not a graphical tool but a python lib ....
Simply put, I have been spoilt by VFP. Hence hunting for the GUI
Ok. Seems that I will settle in for JasperReport.
These are the steps:
1. Prepare the data in XML format (Thanks to yattag library)
Along with the table data, I can pass adhoc values like the report title
etc
2. Design the report through the free JasperStudio (same like VFP report
design tool)
3. Generate PDF through Jadson Ribeiro's pyreport which is a wrapper for
JasperStarter command-line tool.
This generates the PDF without any reporting service running in the
background.
