Introduction

KD Reports is a Qt tool that lets you easily create printable reports by providing all of the necessary features for a variety of applications. Reports can be created programmatically, using an easy to use C++ API, or they can be data-driven, creating reports from XML or SQL data sources complete with watermarks, headers and footers. Reports can be previewed manually, sent directly to a printer, or saved as PDF files.

Additionally, using KDAB's KD Chart package together with KD Reports allows reports to be garnished with the myriad of chart types supported by KD Chart.

KD Reports targets C++ programmers who use Qt in their applications.
