I've used JasperStudio alongside Servoy (which is essentially a Java/Apache stack) to do this and it was the path of least resistance. Once it was up and going it has worked fine creating complicated invoice PDF files on demand from a database.
But as is the way with development nowadays it's adding at least one other third-party layer of dependencies into a toolkit that is already a mountain of third party dependencies, and you're multiplying the potential points of failure all the time. In this particular scenario you could update Java and the whole thing might collapse. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/1520525738.491870.1296224024.22018...@webmail.messagingengine.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
