EPRS Components
The Reportlab Enterprise Publishing and Reporting
Server is made up of a series of components working
together to provide your company with exactly what
it needs:
RML2PDF: Report Markup Language is
our easy-to-learn XML dialect which describes the
precise look of a document. RML offers a complete
"page layout engine" with a pragmatic focus and
numerous Enterprise-oriented features: documents
have separate 'stylesheet' and 'story' sections, can
be restyled in seconds by changing stylesheets, and
can use our extremely powerful tags to create form
elements, barcodes and more in a single line of
RML.
Diagra - Graphics Server and visual chart
editor: Our charting engine lets you easily
add charts and graphics to PDF reports as crisp
vector graphics supporting unlimited zoom. You can
output the same drawings within a PDF, as bitmaps
for the web, and as EPS files for use in
professional publishing workflows You can also
control every detail of every element, down to the
angle and origin of an axis label. You aren't
limited to standard chart types either - you can
write 'plug-in' drawings to handle anything from
custom charts and widgets to engineering diagrams.
PageCatcher: Our PageCatcher
technology lets you use visual elements from
existing PDF documents in new reports. Your graphic
designers can design covers, logos and page
backdrops in their favourite tools and EPRS can link
these elements together and "fill in the blanks"
(allowing richer presentation than ever before in
reports at very low cost). You can also take
existing industry or government forms and "fill them
in", reorder and reorient existing documents, and
put predesigned pages together in new ways for each
customer.
Encryption Add-On: PDF supports
encryption of documents and password protection.
Our encryption add-on lets you add passwords to the
PDF documents you generate (or to existing documents
from other sources).
Supporting Tools: We have a
number of smaller tried-and-tested software
components which integrate with the main
elements. These include powerful preprocessors for
generating dynamic RML files; standardised data
connectors for relational, XML and many other data
sources; and standardised frameworks for handling
requests through the web, testing reports, and
logging output.
