A JavaScript Report Generator / PDF file creation object. Create PDF
reports at
the server or client side without the need for any extra software or libraries.
Used byCollinsRMS, on the server, to deliver Quote, Rate Sheet,
and Report pdf files to clients. The CollinsPDF.js handles many of
the standard reporting functions, to produce an excellent Report with
minimum coding on your part.
This code solves a problem; How can I
generate reports without installing special software at the server? You
can now
produce PDF Reports on a shared ASP web server, or at the client. There is nothing to install,
simply include the CollinsPdf.js file and begin calling its functions.
The Professional
version contains the full implementation of the report generator
and is unrestricted on the types of elements that are used in
the creation of the PDF. See the Product
