The real problem is page headers and footers, plus conditional pagination. Last time I checked I couldn't get CSS to give me pagination like that. Pity. Hmm, I've only ever done fairly basic print style sheets myself... -- Tom Chiverton

Actually that sounds pretty good, and I would prefer an open source solution as well. Regarding the strict setup requirements: using a ClearBI trial I found it extremely difficult adapting a copy of our already existing Flex 2 application's environment to meet the needed requirements.
