Report Generator KPMG Consulting
Brilliant! Simply brilliant.
I have evaluated a number of big name PDF generators and this, in my opinion is the best bar none. BFO Report Generator is years ahead of any other product I have evaluated!
The following features allowed my team to deliver a PDF solution for a major client in less time and under budget:
- Unbelievable ease-of use.
- Great examples and documentation.
- Performance was incredible!
- So fast!
- The price was far less than I expected.
I can not thank you guys enough! I will be recommending this to all my clients and colleagues.
Best wishes

Report Generator KTB Systeme
Having years of experience on XML transformations and document creation from XML data we embedded BFO components into our high-volume XML-Rendering-middleware chameleon/XML.
The Report Generator is (IMHO) the most advanced xml to pdf renderer on the market. Furthermore, the PDF-Lib allows us to fulfill any pdf-manipulation request our customers asked us for - ranging from mere imports, form completion, merges, signing, pdf-security, adding javascripts, and so forth. It perfectly completes our XML to PDF solutions catalog.
We are sure many of our customers will gradually switch from XSL-FO renderers to BFO-ReportGenerator for a multitude of reasons beside the massive performance gains alone.
The quality of the software and the support is outstanding.

Report Generator Extended Wisconsin Court System
The Report Generator is a solid implementation of a great idea. It's vastly simpler than XSL-FO. Excellent documentation too. On the whole though, we're quite happy with the product. In my view, it's the best of the available options (commercial or otherwise) for generating PDFs using an XML vocabulary.

Report Generator Hitachi Information Systems Ltd
Thanks!! We have over 100,000 users in our system and every months we provide them many kinds of PDF Documents with email.
At first, we made it with Acrobat Plug-in, but the problem was that Acrobat Plug-in did not support multiprocessing. The burden of making PDF Documents was growing steadily.
Now the time of processing is 1.5 times faster than before. Big Faceless PDF EE made it possible.

Report Generator Extended Destiny Health
We currently use the BFO Report Generator to produce dynamic quote PDFs using our online quoting application, as well as to produce our member certificates, our "Benefits at a Glance" documents, and other proposals.
We recently purchased the BFO enhancement that enables us to compile multiple PDF documents into a single document. So far we have been very satisfied with the product, and have found it to be a great improvement over the Apache FOP technology that we used formerly. The XSL format for the templates is much simpler to use, and the performance we get from the product seems good.

Report Generator Siemens
We use the Big Faceless Report Generator as a xml-service and it does a great job. We were accustomed to generating pdfs pixel by pixel. The development of a pdf was boring and very time-killing work. With the Report Generator we save a lot of time. Creating the xhtml is not a problem for us, developing the pdf is a lot faster.
The Report Generator works solid and fast, our customers are satisfied, we are very satisfied.

We are very happy with your product. We have used it for an insurance quote generator that agents can use to provide printed quotes for their corporate clients. We were most impressed with your product by how easy it was to implement. Being able to use the familiar HTML syntax to create the reports had us up and running in no time. We plan on using your product for similar projects in the future.

PDF Library Extended EXCEL Partnership Inc
I have been very happy with BFO PDF - very straightforward to use, and good documentation. I'm using it currently to watermark license information onto PDFs that we're selling through an online bookstore.
I think you do have the best solution for Java developers who need a PDFAPI. Apart from ease of use, PDF BFO maintains bookmarks and hyperlinks in the input file - another solution that I was looking at in depth lacks this capability, which is a major drawback.

PDF Library GHR Systems
GHR provides on-line web-based financing solutions with particular success in the offering loans into the recreational vehicle market.In this context we use the PDF Library to provide real-time generation of pre-populated loan-related documentation - application forms, invoices, decline/approval letters and legal contracts.
I have been very satisfied with BFO in two ways:
- Performance - I found in my evaluation the product was signficantly faster than competing products.
- Service - During my initial implementation I encountered a few "absent" features that would make my development much easier. I submitted requests to BFO and was extremely pleased with both the speed of the response (typically one business day) and the ability to then accommodate my request by adding that feature.

DBConcepts is an Austrian software company focusing on Oracle databases and connected technology such as Appservers and Java.
"We used BFO PDF library for a bank with the highest volume of funds in Austria. They needed to generate data sheets for about 100 different funds with graphics and in three different languages. BFO PDF Library was very flexible in handling fonts which was important as the bank had its own corporate identity font which had to be included in the document. Without BFO PDF library it would not have been possible to fulfil the requirements of the Marketing department of the bank."

PDF Library HousingWorks, USA
HousingWorks.Net is an Internet system that links the agencies and individuals who comprise the subsidized/affordable/special needs housing community, without requiring systems change or a higher degree of education on an impoverished population. One of the main ways in which we create this linkage is through an online service that lets disabled and non-English speaking people 1) create a client profile, and 2) import that information into thousands of housing applications for subsidized or special needs housing. This allows everyone fair and equal access to housing, and also allows us to link a number of fragmented "helping systems" that could find no other way to interface.
A linchpin in providing our service was that we had to be able to duplicate thousands of unique housing applications. Thanks to the PDF format and your excellent software solution, we were able to provide this service to everyone in the state - and most participants will benefit at no cost. Your product is reliable and as flexible as we could wish.

PDF Library DSO National Laboratories, Singapore
"We are currently using BFO primarily for its ability to stamp arbitrary text of our choosing onto PDF documents for accountability purposes when users download such documents from our application. The ability to link in BFO as a JAR library directly into our application was also an advantage (as opposed to running it as a separate process). The application is used in our internal networks and is not accessible through the Internet."

Our project has gone very smooth and I was fortunate enough to have found your PDF Library. We needed a way to place dynamic barcodes into a printable format that would be fast and reliable.
After testing the library I found that the PDF Library suited our needs. It only takes seconds to create a PDF that includes dynamic data and dynamic barcodes for a document of about 35 pages. We have hundreds of documents that need to be printed and producing these dynamic documents takes little effort by our end users.

PDF Library Rain City Software
At Rain City Software, we usually opt to build our own, but when it came to PDF formatting I was convinced that there must be something on the market that would meet our needs. After looking at about a half dozen products between share-ware to some several thousand dollar versions (one of which we purchased, luckily as a single user evaluation), we decided that there was nothing on the market that would fit our needs. Fortunately, we had about six months before we really had to make a final decision, and so I did a final search at the last minute and found this Big Faceless Organization thingy. well, the product did just what we needed, so it's now in our production business applications. We have build front-end code generators and a small set of helper libraries to ease development, but we use the product pretty much out-of-the-box for all our web based reporting.
Thanks for a great product.

PDF Library / Graph Library Mediaworx Systems
We used both PDF and Graph libraries in a major project for a couple of our biggest long term customers which are the main German insurance companies in retail business. They are geographically divided, market leads in their respective region and associated with one of the lead retail bank in Germany.
Within the project, we implemented an internet statistic, which analyzes overall 17 sites of these insurance companies.
The internet-presence of these companies is based on Divine ContentServer-CMS. This statisic tool is implemented on a JSP/Servlet plattform and stores the reference data within a database, which means it is not logfile-oriented. It is able to analyize ditributed content a well. Furthermore, it is able to analyze formula-based pages on field level. Any statistic can be exported as pdf-file and most of the statistics provide a diagramm view. Thats where your libs were used.
You can find a sample of the pages to analyze under:

PDF Library Extended Four Point Solutions, Canada
We used (BFO's) PDF Library to meet our client’s need for rich inter-document navigation. With (the) PDF Library we were able to stitch together flat PDFs, create a set of inter-document linking bookmarks, and hyperlink inter-documents via existing and built table of contents and index pages. We chose Big Faceless’ PDF Library because it is feature-rich and user-friendly—the API is very coherent and intuitive.
We were pleased to find out that the product support was second to none! In a few cases, Big Faceless actually added small features to the PDF Library we required, upon request, and quickly. We couldn’t have met our client’s needs so cost-effectively without Big Faceless’ PDF Library.

"I found BFO Graph library to be an excellent tool. I used it to create an in-house database monitoring tool. It cut a good two or three weeks off of the development time, at least.

It is so well designed and documented that it sells itself."
