PEERNET Reports Designer is a desktop pure java barcode, reporting, and labeling solution with exclusive support for bar coding built-in. It provides the WYSIWYG design functions that allow you to create any report or label (with or without barcodes).
PEERNET's barcode, reporting and labeling solutions play a pivotal role in ERP, quotation, ticketing, warehousing, shipping, stores, manufacturing, identification, banking, postal systems or any other system where bar codes are critical to your success.
Visual Barcode, Report and Label Designer
PEERNET Reports Designer provides a complete WYSIWYG environment that allows full access to all the objects used to
construct a barcode, reporting or labeling solution. It can build virtually any style of report or label. It comes with
an extensive collection of components Text, Rich-Text, Logo, Line, Shape, and Barcode that are fully customizable.
Database and Visual Query Builder
PEERNET Reports Designer provides a built-in heterogeneous J-SQL engine and a Visual SQL Query (QBE) builder that
allows you to visually construct the SQL used in report or label (no need to know SQL). This powerful J-SQL engine allows
you to access multiple sources of data (JDBC sources, ODBC sources, Java Object sources, etc) all at the same time. This
means you can join data from many different sources (an Excel spread sheet to an Oracle database table for instance) with
no special database programming.
Why do we say J-SQL and not simply SQL. The reason being that the SQL engine is Java aware. This allows any Java Object (ones you create the java programmer or created by others) to be accessed as a Java Object Table. The J-SQL engine is what allows this to happen seamlessly. It provides full access to the Java Objects. You can access any field or method of these Java Objects just like you do in your own Java code.
Advanced Paper Stock Support
PEERNET Reports Designer provides full support for user define Paper Stocks along with the 100s of importable Avery®
paper stocks.
Why? In order to provide a true WYSIWYG environment for constructing reports and labels that meet industry design and layout standards. This is specifically important in the barcode and labeling industries.
This feature enables reports and labels to be sent to a printer or exported to formats like Adobe searchable PDF, or raster image files like JPEG, PNG or Windows BMP in a truly WYSIWYG manner.
Advanced Java Scripting and Expressions
PEERNET Reports Designer script and expression language (unlike other reporting solutions that have their own custom
language) is the Java. In other word, PEERNET Reports Designer does not have its own proprietary script and expression
language but instead it uses Java everywhere. This means that if you have written your own Java classes and expressions,
you can directly access them from within PEERNET Reports Designer without having to recode them into a proprietary language.
You can even copy and paste them right into PEERNET Reports Designer.
Powerful Object Model
PEERNET Reports, unlike other reporting solutions provides access to any part of the reporting solution through the
PEERNET Reports Designer Object Model. This model describes the Java API used to alter the reporting solution called
from a request, report or label event method or from your own Java code.
Reuse
PEERNET Reports Designer takes reuse to the extreme. Not only can you parameterize a report or label to create your own report
and label templates but you can also create Requests.
Requests are executable units of work that can do a variety of operations at once. You can think of a Requests as macros. Their primary purpose is to reuse a report or label in order to export and/or print the report or label to one or more formats (Adobe PDF, Postscript, EPS, Image) and/ or one or more printers.
However, a request is not limited to this, it will do what ever you program it to do. You can think of a request as a macro.
