Pentaho Report Designer

Overview:

The Report Designer is a desktop reporting tool that provides a visual design environment to easily create sophisticated and rich reports. It is geared towards experienced and power users, who are familiar with the concepts and data-sources used.

Transform all your data into meaningful information tailored to your audience with Reporting, a suite of Open Source tools that allows you to create pixel-perfect reports of your data in PDF, Excel, HTML, Text, Rich-Text-File, XML and CSV. These computer generated reports easily refine data from various sources into a human readable form.
