RTFReport is a native Delphi VCL component that implements flexible and powerful report generation engine. The outcome of the RTFReport is a ready-to-print editable Rich Text Format (RTF) documents.

In order to produce reports this engine utilize templates - RTF documents (looking like empty report) with easy to understand tags. With RTFReport you may give your users possibility to design new report templates with they favorite RTF-enabled WYSIWYG editors like Microsoft Word and this will require no program modification.

• Delphi 4.0,
• Delphi 4.5,
• Delphi 5.0,
