@roger: you are welcome. @villas: probably reportlab. @ramos: reportbro is open-source license for non-commercial open-source or personal projects only. @clemens: interesting but you probably have to handle everything e.g. page breaks, page headers, etc. , right?.
My need was to generate PDF documents (e.g. invoices) with report headers/footers, page headers/footers, detail lines, and even sub-reports from database queries without having to handle all the intricacies (e.g. page breaks, total, page numbers, etc.) and PollyReports fit the bill in a small and easy to use package. What is missing is a WYSIWYG page designer to simplify the layout creation. As an alternative I have been looking for a way to convert a template created by some open source program such as OpenOffice, FreeOffice, or LibreOffice to the bands/elements used in PollyReports but without much luck so far.
