Big Faceless Report Generator 1.1.43 offers you a Java application for converting source documents written in XML to PDF. Big Faceless Report Generator project 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.

BFO's Java Reporting tool provides some of the most comprehensive and advanced XML to PDF conversion on the market.As the XML is based on XHTML and uses CSS the learning curve is drastically reduced - report designers don't have to learn an entirely new grammar, so are up and running quicker.

The "two-stage" system of first generating the XML and then converting it to PDF means you can generate XML with any tool, although JSPs are the natural choice. This means you have access to the full range of Tag Libraries designed for JSP. Database connectivity is all taken care of before the XML conversion begins, so you can use whatever method you prefer to get your information from the backend into XML. The whole process is remarkably simple.

Major Features:

1. HTML-style Tables auto-sized nested tables with full control over padding, margins and borders
2. Use cascading CSS2 stylesheets to control look and feel
3. Create inline graphs and charts with XML, direct from the database
4. Includes a servlet and a servlet filter for simple generation of PDFs from XML or JSP pages.
5. Auto pagination of content with page headers and footers
6. Familiar HTML syntax < a >, < ul >, < p >, < table >, < td > and so on simpler and faster than FOP
7. All the features of the PDF library Unicode support, Encryption, TrueType fonts, Barcodes and more
