Wish Reports or export to Word, Excel and PDF

[Petrovic]

Dear Erel, than you for a great product line. I use B4A for several years and I love it.
I have made several nice apps in it and plan to use it for many years to come.
B4J is great too and I use it to re code all my old VB6 apps and make them modern and cross platform.
But it lacks one very needed feature and that is some reporting tool or export to Word, Excel and PDF.
I re coded a business database app for my company and everybody loves it. It used to be in VB6 and MS Access but I decided to make it in B4J and MySQL and it works great but I have a problem now and that is that I can not make any reports from it and neither export to Word, Excel and PDF.
Is there any solution to this problem or do I need to re code complete app in VB.NET but then I would lose cross platform feature and I do not like VB.NET at all. For me B4X is the best RAD tool in the world ever. I will be buying B4i also this summer as I have need to make iOS apps too.

You can create Excel workbooks with jExcel library. You can load a template file and then only fill the cells.

You can also create pdf files from html content with this solution (a bit cumbersome but it works): https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/print-with-printhtml-tool.35492/#content

For the Pdf option on B4J, also look jpdfjet at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jpdfjet.37842/#content
