Hi All, Background We are currently running a mix of OE 11.4 / 11.6 on Windows / Linux servers with a windows client install and a Rest interface and custom HTML/JS interface. We currently use the crystal.net viewer but this doesn't run on unix (and Crystal JRC looks a bit expensive). We have also used BIRT which seems ok if a bit limited in what we need to do with our documents. I'm looking for a cross platform report generation / document generation software. Commercial (depending on licensing / redistribution costs) or Free / Open Source is also acceptable. Key requirement 1. Be able to generate documents (Waybills, Labels, Manifests etc - i.e. formatted multi page documents) preferably as PDF output. 2. The output should be automate-able with the ability to auto email or save a PDF server side based - i.e. no need to have user interaction. 3. Have built in or easily plug and playable Barcode generation support (minimum Code 128) 4. Have a form designer where the layouts can be designed. 5. Be able to consume our existing XML structure as a generic data source. If anyone knows of reasonably priced (or free) software that will run on unix / windows / web (optional) with PDF output capabilities please let me know. Thanking everyone in advance.
