Hi

We are doing development on http://astbill.com AstBill is open source software licensed under the GPL and running on Drupal. We want to implement a open source Report Writer like Crystal Report and we want to be able to make PDF files and Excel files.

Is there anybody that can give advice on how to do this in Drupal.

We are also wondering if there is anybody that want to assist in this exelent Drupal project. It is an interesting combinating of Databases, Drupal and VOIP.

Your demo allows PHP input. This will allow hacking of your server. Please disable access via UID 1 and create a less privileged user for your demo.

Have fun and check my Drupal Profile: http://drupal.org/user/519

CiviCRM has exactly the same issue, and we have been looking at other open source report writers similar to crystal reports.

Your php options are:

http://phpreports.sourceforge.net/
http://rlib.sicompos.com/
http://www.agata.org.br/

Your java option (and overall the best open source report writer, IMO) is:

http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/

Most likely, CiviCRM will integrate with Jasper Reports

The Survey module exports to Excel, maybe you could addapt some of the code from that.
