Recently I saw Rich Simpson's Report Engine and was extremely
impressed by it. The actual rendering of PDF reports by his
Report Engine was probably 10X faster than Adobe's.

Probably the best part of the Report Engine is the incredible
customer service that Mr Simpson provides to clients. I don't
believe Rich sleeps very much. A friend of mine is using the
RE and was working late and sent Rich a question around midnight.
He told me he got a response within 15 minutes.

I'd highly recommend checking out the Report Engine demo at a
minimum...

>Don't forget to consider Rich Simpson's Report Engine control. It creates PDFs, apparently very quickly, without needing a PDF driver on the machine. I haven't tried it, but he has impressed a bunch of people when showing it off at user group meetings.
