The Big Faceless Report Generator is a Java application for converting source documents written in XML to PDF. Built on top of the Big Faceless PDF & Graph Libraries, the Report Generator combines these features and wraps an XML parser around them. Using JSP, ASP, XSL, or similar, creating dynamic PDF documents directly from a database is now as easy as HTML.

Recent releases


Changes: This release is built with PDF library 2.11.6 and Graph Library 1.


Changes: The PDF library this release was built with contains a security fix. This would only affect customers running the Report Generator 1.1.39 to 1.1.41 who are using the PDF Library API to complete forms in PDF documents created by third parties. Those customers are encouraged to upgrade. "datamatrix" has been added as a value for "type" in "barcode". "overprint" has been added as a boolean attribute, to control overprinting for text or graphics. Some wrapping issues that could occur when setting "letter-spacing" have been fixed.


Changes: This release adds "aes256" as an encryption algorithm, to use the new AES-256 encryption added in the PDF library 2.11.


Changes: "intelligentmail" was added as a value for "type" in -barcode-, and the "color" attribute was added to -barcode-. The -meta name="output-profile"- feature was tweaked. Individual features can now be turned off or on. This version was built with PDF library 2.10.6 and Graph library 1.1.6.


Changes: The "pdf:show" action was fixed. The barcode default sizing may be slightly different, due to corrections in the underlying PDF library. The ability to license the Report Generator with a license file, rather than a keycode, was added.
A Nagios plugin like check_procs, but able to check several processes at once.
