Hi John,

>From what I remember of the PrintReport external, it
offered a collection of commands to draw graphics,
images and text onto printer paper.
If you need such pin-point control over every aspect
of the output of your report, you'll feel right at
home with Quartam PDF Library.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a report
building system modeled after the ones found in FoxPro
or Access, then Quartam Reports is just what the
doctor ordered.
Both libraries are meant for reporting, but from a
different angle:

Quartam Reports takes care of evaluating expressions,
tracking statistical data and tossing everything on
paper within bands and data groups - but you have
little control over the printout;
Quartam PDF Library gives you complete control over
what goes where, but doesn't help you calculate
anything - so just like when you're reporting to Html,
Rtf or Text files, you'll have to track everything
yourself.

Best regards,

Jan Schenkel.
