Ask HN: Reporting Services, but not Visual Studio-based?

1 pointbrtkdotse2 comments

Say I have a pile of customer data and would like to generate PDFs with individual offers based on the data and some logic.

I’ve done this quite swiftly in the past in MS SQL Server Reporting Services, but surely there has to exist a similar product not tied to Visual Studio?

It can generate a PDF with some data and charts. You can also schedule emails to share these PDFs with customers. Adding a customer filter and you'll get something like Mail Merge / Crystal Reports.

p/s: I work here.

Few pointers
