I neglected to mention in the article that another benefit of this class is that it allowed me to put together a report builder so that users can create custom reports without having to ask me to tweak code. Users pick from a list of fields, create their own column labels, set the column order, check radio buttons for fields they wish to graph, and run with it. No work for me, instant gratification for them.

Good article. I'm sure this will help a lot of people get started producing PDF files on the fly... I guess that there are already a few folks banging away at your code.

Thanks. I was a little worried about providing a teaser but no real code. One of these days, I'll get the class cleaned up, kill some of the bugs that're still lurking in it, and make a project of it on sourceforge. It'll probably be a while, though.
