[DONE] Report Generator (PDF)

Hi,

I have just been going through the Anvil site and was a little surprised that being a full fledged web application builder it provides no report generating (pdf) facility, just like a visual form builder a visual report builder perhaps.

Do you have any plans to provide the facility of generating reports? If not what would be your suggestion to generate reports (pdf) in the current situation?

Thanks & Regards

If you take a look at the list of packages there are a number of pdf packages you could use.
You’d need a paid account to utilise packages in the server module I believe… but there are ways to do this on the free plan with uplink.

The Anvil Team are also amenable to requests for packages to install on server-side code should they not have a package you require…


(edit: since the above post anvil also supports generating pdfs from forms)

Yes, and there are a few forum posts on PDF processing that may help.
