Reports.net / Reports.jar Features

1. Japanese Domestic Product

This software is our original product designed to meet the functions required for Japanese ledger sheets. It has various features from designing forms with constant numbers of lines or charts drawn basically with ruled lines to transparent shadow processing.

This software has been developed based on the aim "What is useful and important for end users of ledger sheets?" by highly skilled Japanese engineers. You can output the high quality and unique ledger sheets to use them in Japan.

2. Reusable Print Data

Print data can be served directly in XML file and also can be read from it. The data can be printed out or previewed not only with this program but also with another program using Reports.net. In the case of printing a large amount of ledger sheet, there is no need to burden database servers by accessing continually to print the same sheet.

3. Code Design with Complete Control of a Page

Codes for printing from the user program are written and managed only in one place unlike many other software products which take the system of writing codes from each event. The logics for ledger sheets will not be scattered and also the program flow will be independent of Reports.net / Reports.jar

4. Different designed ledger sheets can coexist in a print sheet.

Some ledger sheets can be printed or previewed at one time. Of course the data can be written in a XML file.

5. Opened Data Specification

Report definition file which defines the design of ledger sheet is openly-available on XML file. It is possible to design without a designer or to generate ledger sheet definitions dynamically from original programs.

6．Character decoration function compares favorably with draw software

Character decoration function suitable for POP and advertising literature is offered.

7．Built-in barcode drawing logic

It is possible to print the commonly used 12 types of barcodes. There is no need to prepare further logics for barcode creation.
JAN13(EAN13), JAN8(EAN8), ITF(interleaved 2 of 5), Matrix 2 of 5, NEC 2 of 5, NW7(Codebar), Code39, Code128, UCC/EAN128, Postal Customer Barcode, QR code and barcode for payment in convenience stores

8. Designer

Multifunctional Designer makes it possible to design ledger sheets flexibly. Developing ledger sheet design and coding a program can be processed separately because the designer operates independently. (License only for the Designer is available.) For example, it is useful when end user changes ledger sheet designed by himself/herself.

9． PDF File Format

PDF file format, which is now an industry standard, is available. After making ledger sheets PDF file with Reports.net through Web services such as ASP.NETs, you can distribute it via Web browser.

10．Web Services

By using Reports.net via Web services, print data can be created in server and then sent to client with its request. In other words, the client can print ledger sheets without direct access to SQL issues Database. Also, it is possible to reduce loads on the Network because print data is a binary data which has XML file compressed into zip.

11．Java edition WEB services(Reports.jar)

It is possible to establish logics creating ledger sheets at the side of server in Java language. We offer components of ledger sheet creation with .jar files
　This makes it possible that Interfaces can vary depending on the intended use, Web server (Unix(Linux) + Java) to create ledger sheets or Rich Client (Windows + .NET) to output it.
Like Interface format of IIS WEB services, print data exchanged between a server and a client is a binary data which has XML file compressed into zip

12． SVG/SVGZ File

It is possible to make SVG/SVGZ files, and print out or preview it on browser. After making ledger sheets SVG(Z) file with Reports.net through Web services such as ASP.NETs, you can distribute it via Web browser.
Operation responses are quicker compared with PDF files and this version contains useful functions that couldn't be implemented with PDF.
