Can fast-report be used for...
Hello,
I am looking for an alternative to Microsoft reporting services and I was wondering if fast-report could be the right product. It seems that FastReport Server was to way to go, but it is not maintained anymore...
Could anyone please advise me if any edition of fast-report cat meet the following needs.
- it must be independent component (I don't have .net or delphi knowledge)
- possibility to programmatically export the reports (no user interaction)
-- possibility to programmatically add metadata to pdf exports
-- possibility to export to pdf to separate documents (create 100 pdf documents from one document/datasource with 100 invoices)
- reports must be available online (in web browser) - not necessary required, but it would be nice that it could be easily implemented
Use case scenario is:
- automatically exporting invoices from ms sql database to pdf on a daily basis to some network drive (no user interaction). When exporting to pdf the recipient and the number of the invoice must be added to pdf metadata. (export must be triggered from command line)
- show reports online for different users with just the web browser (some sort of "report server") - not necessary required, but it would be nice that it could be easily implemented
Thank you for your help
