If you think that is slow, wait till you try Apache's FOP. It's been a while, but IIRC, when my reports went five pages or more, I believe it took around 30 secs. With 50 pages, my users started calling and asking if the app was still running. My current users are Excel lovers, so I generate formatted Excel docs (through POI) that they can edit or print directly. I was gonna use IText the next time I needed PDFs. If that's slow too, are there other alternatives? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
