+1 to wkhtmltopdf, we have started using in our billing system and it generates some really beautiful PDFs from XHTML. Previously we used LaTeX to PDF conversion but found that the number of people able to handle TeX is quite low, whereas it's easy for our open source user base to adjust XHTML files to get the styles they want. However this is probably not so relevant for the original question which seems be looking at an easy way to create reports rather than handle the output... regards, jethro -- Jethro Carr www.jethrocarr.com/index.php?cms=blog www.amberdms.com
