I guess you want drawings or charts. Normally, when I think of reports I think of long tables. We are using apache FOP to produce pdf's for that. I think that using a codec to produce gif's or png's would come out better for report-type images than jpg's. You can get a gif codec at www.acme.com. The problem with using images embedded in html is that users cannot save without saving all the embedded images, Javascript, and CSS. Alex Amies -----Original Message----- From: David M.

I'm looking for opinions on a strategy for generating and printing formatted reports from a web application. I'm considering having a servlet build SVG, and then use Batik (Apache SVG tools) to generate a JPEG, then transmit that to an applet, which renders the JPEG in a hidden panel and uses the print API to print the report. Are there any inherent problems with this approach? Are there better ways to do it? -- =================================================================== David M.
