Big Faceless Report Generator
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.
- 05 Mar 2009 02:43
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.
