We have a ASP.NET C# web application and are trying to find a way to combine data/tables and charts that can be exported a single PDF.
Some things we're looking for...
- The ability to export a single PDF that includes charts, tables, etc.
- The ability to embed the report into the web app
- A good number of highly configurable chart types
Tools we have...
We have .netCharting, which has the option to display the embedded reports as PDF, but that's per chart, which would mean multiple PDFs for a page with multiple charts and no custom tables or anything included in that PDF. We do like the variety of chart types and the versatility to make more complex reports, though. .netCharting includes the charts we could use.
We also have LogiXML Ad Hoc reporting, which does allow you to combine different charts and data into a single, exportable PDF, but it doesn't offer very complex charts. Also, as far as I can tell, it doesn't allow you to dynamically display a report by passing parameters from your web app, which would be necessary.
We've considered trying to interact with Excel (through COM) on the server to produce what we need.
Are there any tools out there that combine the strengths of our existing tools?
