PK_JRXML2PDF_REPGEN is a pure PL/SQL-solution to generate PDF-documents from database-content, based on an jrxml-report-definition. With this, you can fully develop and test the report graphically in iReport by JasperSoft and then run the report in a database-only-environment without the need of any „middleware“ or java-tier.
The JRXML-Generator eases the process of generation report-definions out of existing APEX-pages. It takes the APEX-page-definition as input and, with the help of templates generates a jrxml-report-definition.
The actual writing of data in PDF-format is done using the great package AS_PDF3 written by Anton Scheffer, with a few additions.
For all version the major changes are documented here [Version history].
