Our concern is how to create the report templates. We were thinking that Adobe Acrobat writer may be able to do it. Does anyone have any experience with creating a template - either PostScript of PDF? I'd like something that would be easy for a user to create a template with - so that a programmer isn't needed to create every template. Any thoughts?
I'm not sure what you mean by "high volume reports", nor whether this is a windows (reference to the Adobe Acrobat Writer) or Linux job, but why not have the users create the templates in a report writer that they are familiar with (e.g. Crystal, in windows) and just print to PDF? If you are really talking high volume, there are commercial document management systems that take care or naming, storing and retrieving the reports. Prices seem to be $10,000+. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
