Report programming
-
Hi guys, I need some advice on the a reporting application. I have some text files which needed to be displayed on a web application. I have a requirement that all these text files are required to be kept in a repository database and to be displayed as in pdf format, on the web. The text files are not in a fixed format. some may A4 paper size and some may A3, A2 and so forth. There are two separate process/program. -one for the file format conversion + store in to the repository -the other, is the web application, mainly just to display the source. Which approach should I proceed? a) convert these files to pdf and store them in to the repository and then, display them on the web. b) store the files (without conversion) and then convert to pdf before display them on the web. Thank you for your comment.

First - move it to the proper forum...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Well, first of all, you should use a proper forum, as this one is dedicated to our ::Workspaces product. Also a bit of advice: it seems that you will convert each document once, and then display it multiple times. There is no point in doing conversion during each page load, it will make your page load slowly, and will be repeating the same job over and over again, throwing results every time. I would go for keeping both original (that is almost always a good idea) and converted in your document repository then just use the converted version for display.
