I found discussions from you guys from 3 and 4 years ago, about automatic conversion to PDF.
George used 7PDF, then moved to a HTML->PDF solution (quicker).
Hein said this would be his procedure to make nice looking reports in Word, rather than Rpt Designer.
Yuri made a Word Macro so Word, started from the command line, would autom. make a PDF.
I like to ask you gentlemen how you feel about these solutions NOW, 3 & 4 years later.
Still using them?
You still feel Word reports are the way to go?
Even with improved 8.1 Reporter?
Starting today with v8 on a new Project, would you use these same strategies?
thx

Hi Jaymer,
Just saw this post...sorry...for late (1 month) ))
I'm using wkhtmltopdf to convert html to PDF and JasperReports Server and for few reports I'm using native ReportDesigner.
If you need more details let me know.
cheers

Re: ►Q◄ for Yuri, Hein, Weblike
Wow
I think I’m a little bit late
But I still use the same solution and it works perfectly, but my aware still an old version.
The main pros that I saw when i used word as a report it was that it’s too quick to do and update, and it’s like a WYSIWYG editor... and I can even overwrite some stuff and save the result file again...
The main pro is that sometimes the server keeps the template word file opened some how and after a month or so, the server memory is overloaded and when you open the process manager from windows, shows hundreds of instances o WORD.exe...
But it’s a pretty good solution for me...
Cheers
