Pragnaan or Waler?

edited March 2003 in General
Which is the better solution for exporting ReportBuilder 7.02 reports to
HTML, XML, XLS etc?
Pragnaan Export filters is $199.00 while Waler's is $50.00? Aside from
the price, which works better, is easier to use, has better features etc?

Any opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

    I'm using Waler's filters since almost a year and i'm very happy with
    them. Specially the Excel filter is great.
    The last time i evaluated Pragnaan's components the Excel filter didn't
    worked well for me.

    Hi James,
    I read somewhere in some newsgroup that the demo does not work with the
    latest ReportBuilder 7.02 release. And that's the only version I have.

    Hi

    I can heartily recommend Waler for export to Adobe Reader (pdf file), great.

    I use Waler?s TExtraDevices.

    What definitly does not work: Design a report for printout and then export
    it to XLS or PDF. You will receive plain mess.
    What definitely works: Design a report for mere output to XLS (or PDF, or
    ...) and it works like a charm.
    What usually works too: Design a *very* simple report (no lines, no
    complicated formattings) and use it for both worlds.

    Support for TExtraDevices has been good.

    If you need a full featured XLS-Export you?d better use a native XLS-Writer.

    I'm using PsRBExportDevices (Pragnaan) for export in PDF and RTF. It's very
    easy and the technical support is very efficient.
    The pragnaan version for RB 7.02 will be released in a couple of days
