Q: 

open source alternative to create reports in classic asp?

I'm looking for some open source alternative to create reports from classic asp

they don't have to be something awfully elaborated, we rather find some simple product that allows us to generate pdf files from a data set.

we were thinking about developing some kind of service that took an xml as input and returned a pdf, probably with jasperreports or any other free tool...

we also looked for a component that could convert plain html to pdf, adding some special tags to handle pagination and layout...

any idea?

A: 

Report.NET is nice. Open-source and implemented in C#.

A really slick solution for XML, HTML -> PDF is PrinceXML. Not free, but it might be worth it.
