Hi All;
I'm looking for a way to generate a PDF report based on a set of data in a database and a set of pre-generated graphs via some sort of procedural method based on a template.
We tried to do this via open office & it's templating features but this process requires us to first generate an odt file based on xml and then open the open office odt file and export to a PDF, unfortunately our first stab generated a 150GB odt file. This is of course an unacceptable method. So, I'm looking for a way to generate PDF's straight away as described above. Anyone have any ideas?
This was a thread in our local LUG: http://www.flux.org/pipermail/linux/2009-April/021247.html
I use a similar process to generate a text file that gets passed through a script to generate a PDF report..
