Hello guys , I'm wondering which is the best library available for freepascal that i could use to generate printable invoices? Most likely a lot of people need this kind of functionality in their applications, so ... perhaps there is some obvious choice that someone could point to me immediately ;)
Some background information: i'm adapting an existing application for a new customer. Previously, the invoices were simple text files that were sent directly to a matrix printer (using pre-printed paper that contained the company logo, the labels, the lines/boxes). But now i have to find a solution to draw the entire invoice on blank paper. An important remark: the invoice generator has to be a console program, because it will be part of a bigger application that has a text-interface (running on linux). So far i am aware of : - lazreport. To me it's unclear whether this one can be used in a console application. - powerpdf , a library for creating pdf files - libharu, a c-library that can be used from pascal (mentioned on this list in an older thread) - fpgui has a component that would allow pdf creation Probably there are several other libraries available. Which one would you recommend to me (taking into account the API cleanliness) ? Cheers, Adrian M
