Yeah, PDF generation is just unpleasant IMO, Catalyst or not. None of the tools available in Perl are high-level enough to make me happy. $WORK has a system using Apache FOP for report generation. It works, and the output is good, but creating the templates is a grind, and the code to invoke fop is ugly (and it's Java)... and that's the best thing I know of ;) Andrew _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
