Subject: Generating Reports Using Application Engine

Question
Hi,

I have written an AE program which picks the data and writes it into the CSV file.
Since the CSV file is modifiable i wanted to write the data in  similar fashion in a pdf file. Is it possible to write into pdf file wihtout using only application engine program?

Answer
It is possible to write a PDF file from App Engine, but it involves the use of third party libraries.

A simple alternative is to write your CSV data to a table, and then create a simple SQR or Crystal Report which queries the table and produces a report. Set the output type to be PDF. Schedule the SQR/Crystal to run after the AE using a job.
