ReportLab is the name of a London-based company that created and maintains the ReportLab Toolkit (RLTK), a Python-based PDF generation toolkit, and related software, such as PyRXP (a validating XML Parser). The company uses a combined commercial and free software business model: their core library, the toolkit, is freely available and licensed under a BSD license, while they sell as proprietary software various programs using and enhancing the capabilities of the toolkit, such as PageCatcher to capture content from existing PDF documents, and Diagra to generate charts and graphics for embedding within PDF documents.

Famous quotes containing the word report:
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
