Any suggestions? I have used FOP in the past and there is no way it's powerful enough for some of the things we do. In some synarios, we really had to push the limits of ReportLab (and sometimes confined by them).

I doubt extremely that FOP isn't powerful enough. FO can handle just about any layout you'd care to throw at it. But its syntax is pretty awful.

I'd suggest looking at one of the many Ruby PDF libraries or a tool like wkhtmltopdf.

Thanks!

I just started using Prawn. It's in alpha but it's already pretty usefull. Table lay-outs neatly reproduce themselves over multiple pages with repeating headers. And that just in 1 line of code!!! Jan
