Is it really that much of a pain in the butt to print out my tabular
data (currently displayed in an NSTableView)?
An option we have been using in our apps is ReportWellOEM from www.drawwell.com.
With it you get an object-drawing app (somewhat like OmniGraffle)
with which you can create report templates. You create a model
description of your model objects and load it into your document, and
then you can place the data elements on the page, format them, etc.
You can create tables and matrices of elements for repeating data
(i.e., your tabular data) that handle pagination. The data model is a
simplified EOModel in which you list object attributes and
relationships. It also has modules for Core Data, iTunes, and
AddressBook, but I haven't used any of those. The reporting aspect is
typical of a database reporting module and can filter, sort, and group
your data. There is a licensing fee, but a free demo is available (I
have no association other than being a user).
