Hi all, I was wondering how you guys generate reports from rails. I want to generate business reports in pdf format, and was wondering what you guys use. I have searched the web and found Ruport, but there isn''t much documentation or examples of real world business reports like jasperreports, for instance. Is it possible to generate good looking business reports with ruport? What other report generation plugis are there for rails?

The result is great. http://www.intridea.com/2007/12/20/announcing-princely-rails-prince-xml-pdf-wrapper?blog=company http://github.com/mbleigh/princely/tree/master Best regards Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

HI Peter, Thanks for the reply. I have had a look at the link, and it is quite an interesting product. I don''t really mind if it is commercial or free, but what I am after is something like an API as opposed to a third-party software that I call from ruby. But, I will give it a try and see how it works. Thanks once again. Fidel.
