Render SSRS .RDL to PDF and just open it.
I tried to be the most descriptive I could. Ok, so since I've never done anything like this before, I guess it's better to ask before starting at all to just don't get the whole process wrong. We have a report that has to be called from an ASP.NET application, it could be a simple button. Through the code-behind, I gotta pass in a para...
Is there an easy to use PHP PDF library with unicode support?
I tried dompdf. It's a lot easier to use than other libraries I've tried but it doesn't have unicode support. Or rather, it has unicode support but requires another library called PDFLib ($1k version).

I'm interested in filling out existing PDF forms programatically. All I really need to do is pull information from user input and then place the appropriate text over an existing PDF in the appropriate locations.

Is there a GUI for designing PDF reports generated by Java?
I've written some Java code using the iText library to generate a PDF report, but specifying the layout seems very manual and takes a lot of time, re-running the code to test small adjustments.

Using the print module and tcpdf I'm trying to fix the layout of the PDF files for a specific content type. I'm messing around in the tpl.php file and can't find a way to modify individual fields.
