Convert data to a printable format

Hi,

I have a situation here regarding a VB.net application. I
need to convert a bunch of data to a presentable and
printable format.

Is there an economical (perhaps an open source third party
library) and easy way to do this? (For example: may be
build an XML document from the data and then convert it
into PDF format.)

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

regards,
Sean

Sean,

Will you be so kind not to multipost, you have now different answers from
different persons in different newsgroup. Sending one message ("crosspost" )
to all for you relevant newsgroups is a way which prevents that.

From python manual str( ) Return a string containing a nicely printable representation of an object. For strings, this returns the string itself. The difference with repr(object) is that str(object) does not always attempt to return a string that is acceptable to eval(); its goal is to return a printable string. If no argument is given, returns the empty string, ''.
