A lot of people tend to link in webkit and layout a printed report using
html and css. It's somewhat eqasier than standard web dev since you know
that only webkit will be displaying your layout. No need for cross browser
compatability.
I use that aqpproach for one of my apps and it works well enough. Don't get
me wrong - it still feels like a major hack, but thre results are decent and
it was pretty quick and easy to implement.

Namaste!
I could be missing the obvious, however, my question is whether a report
writer tool (like Crystal Reports or MS Access, by way of example) exists
for Cocoa?
I Googled around for a bit tyring to find something (other than ReportMill).
I've looked at (and read) the printing-relevant Apple dox. I've read the
relevant chapter in Hillegass' book too. I can see how much work writing
pretty reports is going to be.
Unless...
I missed a point concerning an NSView - it knows about PDF, etc.
The dox don't really go into this much, so here's a follow-on question to
the first:
If I take the time to draw out a view in IB with all my fields, etc., will
that print as-is? This, then, would become the report writer, right?
I'm looking for good, solid advice on creating reports. I do have some
graphics I'd like to include in my reports, but most are lists, and some are
lists with child details too.
Many thanks in advance (and I hope this isn't a Help Vampire question)!!!
Peace, Love, and Light,
