You should by all means have look at it (Version 11.1)
Just to give you hint; I hv done wrapper class for their PDFL library which lets me compose complex documents (reports) using very simple commands like
oPdf=createobject...
oPDF.create_file(cFile)
oPDF.ln(1) && line/row advancing
oPDF.write_at(20,'SomeText') && (left to right) In line writing
Just these two simple method calls give you already, almost half of DOS
times report creation 'powers' (?/??) that meny of us used to create
very complex DOS reports.
But there is much more that can be added to it , like inserting pictures, drawing lines/boxes/..., switching fonts on the fly etc.
Now when they published XFF scripts which gives you all that possibilities,
plus output convertable to all other formats, whole concept become even more attractive.
Things like this we don't usually need, until case like this tricky report of yours comes arround :)
