Hi Mark, Pascal, and List,
Not really, as I am sure, most of the advanced WebObjects developers
have their own (Grouped)List and Edit(Detail) classes, e.g. Wonder/D2W/
LISTedit, where these objects (could) have their own appendPDF
functions. E.g. with our LISTedit framework, this is coded in (with
very few lines), so for the end-developer, there is no coding at all.
The user just presses on a "Print" Button, et voila... 10x faster
rendering than iText... and since these are your own WebObjects
classes, of course, you can use Key Value Coding, etc....
We would suggest showing this at WOWDC if people like, in addition to
creating more complicated reports, that you generally cannot create
with other PDF generators, such as Calendars, Schedules, Timesheets,
and Complex Invoices.
With ReportMill, which we had used up to 2001, none of this was
possible. We also found that coding for an hour achieved much more
exact results than fiddling with a template editor for three hours.
And, of course, the PDFkit is free to the community, and will always
be certified for the latest version of WebObjects and Java.

Following up my own post, I know that when I was using iText, and
I'm assuming with PDFKit, you have more freedom to do whatever you
want, wherever you want, than you do with a template-based tool,
but, at least with iText, at a cost of significantly slower
development time for the vast majority of the cases.
Regards,
Mark

Other than price and "open-source-ness", are there disadvantages to
ReportMill versus other tools? I've been pretty happy with it, so
much so that I haven't been paying much attention to alternatives
lately.
Thanks,
Mark

I'm interested in PDFKit or anything that could help us phase out
ReportMill. :-)

Bonjour Pacal,
How about I present some of our PDFkit advanced reports coding,
our "Cloud Computing" engine bizDAV, and our newest large WO
scheduling engine scheduleDS. It would be nice to revisit
Montreal; the last time I was there was in 1977.

Hello everyone,
So WOWODC 2010 will be held on August 27th, 28th and 29th in
Montreal. Ok, before people ask : why not in SF again? Plain
answer : we are moving to a new building in July so we will be
busy preparing for the move and I can't afford to go to SF. It
also allow me to deliver a better conference since I can
actually go to the hotel to see everything and test Net access
before signing the contract, no bad surprises like we have every
year in SF!
Still, for 2011 and later, we want to do a rotation, one year on
the East coast of NA, one year on the West coast, and we will
need co-organizers for that (even if I would like to, I can't go
visit every city in NA in two days :-)). But that's for 2011 and
up, we are far from that.
So mark your calendars, and if you want to present, this is the
official call for presenters. 4 of you already said "I'm in",
and we will have two rooms so that we can have concurrent
presentations (and plenty of lab time). Check the Presenters
FAQ here :
http://www.wocommunity.org/wowodc10/presenters-faq.html
Pricing and venue will be confirmed before the year's end, but
95% chance we will go back to the Gouverneur Place Dupuis like
we did for WOWODC East 2009.
