Hi,

Creating RTF documents is perhaps the easiest option, as they have a
non-binary format underneath. We've subclassed Smarty (which we use
quite a lot) to aid creation of RTF reports...... a similar thing can be
done with OpenOffice, but it unfortunately doesn't have a large enough
market share.....

David.
