[DUG] Reporting experience

[Colin Fraser]

We used to use Report Builder, now we use Fast Reports... (for the last few
years). We were very happy with the change, though I can't remember why...
just asked the other main report developer, and he also said it was just
better... (very quantitative I know)

However, for our main PDF creation, we use a print to pdf driver that
handles Unicode and rich text better than the built in PDF creation of Fast
Reports (did)... It just gave us better "pixel perfect" output.

Regards
Colin
