3rd Party Web Reporting

Would anyone have a good recommendation for a Web Reporting component
that could be used within a shared environment and can create PDF's?
Thanks.

Visual Studio.NET (2002 or 2003) comes with CrystalReports. NET.
Certainly not the greatest reporting tool, but it does have ExportToPDF
Funcionality that works well.

Also, ActiveReports.N ET is avaialable and in my opinion, a notch above

If you're using SQL Server 2000 take a look at the Reporting Services for
it. It is now in BETA 2 but is very close to gold. It is impressive and
doesn't come with all the fees that Crystal reports has. (basically, it is
licensed as part of SQL Server from my understanding.. .i.e. if they have a
valid SQL Server license then they have a valid Reporting Services license).

Regards,

Shawn

Are you looking for a web reporting component or are you looking for
something to create .pdf documents from a report. While Cryatal Reports does
have a method to export to PDF, my expereince is that the final result does
not look like the original report. Often times, you must alter the layout of
your report so that it is export friendly. Not a good solution.

There are 3rd party servers and components that will allow you to produce
your reports using whatever development tool you choose and then re-direct
output of the print queue to a .pdf document instead of to a printer device.

There is a popular and high volume (but expensive) option. It basically
converts postscript files to .pdf documents and is a fully integrated
solutuion.

Here is another product that installs on the local PC as a print driver.
Simply sent a print job to the "PDF995" print driver, and it creates a .pdf
document which looks exactly (99.9%) as it appear if sent to the printer.
The registered version (no popup adds) is $9.95.

We have a production database, but due to the crippling load of some reporting tools, we are looking to have a separate reporting database. Due to it's nature, the reporting database doesn't need to be as up to date as the master, perhaps it could be refreshed every evening? What I wish to know is the best way to go about this. Replicating a whole database seems excessive as there are 7000+ tables and we don't need it so closely...

Hello, Does anyone have any experience with 3rd Party Crystal Report viewers? I'm looking for a viewer that allows me to view reports in our web app without having crystal reports installed on the app server. Does such a thing exist? I also need the rpt files to be independant of saved data and db connection info. Thanks in advance. JS

Hi My users, use ms access for querying and reporting on a backend database, however they need to replace ms access with a new reporting tool.

I am asking this question here because I asked this question in the Reporting Services Newsgroup and did not get an answer. Does anyone know if Reporting Services is intended to work in a client/Server or Local machine environment? Based on what I have seen my guess is yes but that is a guess. In some materal it talks about it running on a web server but my supposition is that this does not necessarily mean that it would not make for a...
