I've used flying saucer pdf[1] for this in the past, but the missing piece always seems to be a descent WYSIWYG template editor. Either open source or paid.

Any suggestions on a web solution that allows non-devs to make great templates would be appreciated.

Historically I've built something simple with Tiny and added a preview button to render, but that super clunky.

My firm is currently in the process of creating a similar product that features a sophisticated visual page editor. While it's not officially launched yet, the product is about 95% complete. At the moment, we are on the lookout for early adopters.

For those interested in giving it a try, please contact us at support at cx-reports dot com. We are providing complimentary licenses to users who are eager to collaborate with us during this phase.

Oh wow. I started Flying Saucer 20 years ago. I’m amazed it’s still in use.

It does the job very nicely, and I can easily embed on-the-fly generated images. Not sure there is a better option in the Java ecosystem.

Thanks for your long lived contribution.
