In addition to XLS we also needed to create PowerPoint output. Have
you thought about that?
Nope. Haven't been asked for it yet. Not sure why power point
would be any
better (for my purposes at least) than PDF. I'm basically generating
printable reports from tabular data.
It is certainly not - unless your customer requires it.
I'm curious about how you generate your PDFs.
Don't think I can help you there. Years ago, I got my company to
buy a
source code license for a library called ClibPDF from a company called
FastIO. It's a pretty nice library, pretty easy to use, and it was
licensed
under very reasonable terms (though not free). I'm still using it.
The problem is that FastIO seems to have vanished from the face of
the earth
and possibly taken ClibPDF with it. There seems to have been a PHP
wrapper
for it, and there's a PHP documentation page that talks about it being
deprecated and offers alternatives:
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/docs/php.en/ref.cpdf.html
I suspect FastIO was bought out by some other company that has a
pricier
library with more restrictive licensing for the express purpose of
shutting
down the competition. That's one of the hideous realities of closed
source
software.
Yes, it is. I developed a generator tool myself for PDF-1.0, but only
had a couple of customers a decade ago.
You might want to take a look at FOP in Apache XML Graphics - http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/
or iText - http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ .
There is a project called PDFBox in the Apache Incubator project -
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/pdfbox.html
Enjoy the POI.
