Recommend a mechanism for generating custom report templates

Question

Programming

There is a certain web application, the result of the work of users in which must be uploaded in PDF format for printing.
Those. users fill out some cards that include textual and graphical information.
These cards should then be exported to PDF. The point is that these PDF reports should be generated according to certain templates. Moreover, the templates should be created by the users themselves without much effort.
Advise the mechanism of creation of templates.

Ideally, something like FastReport or DevExpress Report Suite, but with an interface that is understandable for technically non-savvy users and works either on the web side or locally under Mac OS.

So far, I'm leaning towards the good old RTF tagging, but maybe someone used more elegant solutions?

Answer 1

You can look at JasperReports + iReport Designer, it should work under MacOS.
But in fact, these are the same eggs as FastReport or DevExpress Report Suite, only in a Java profile.

Answer 2
