List & Label Cross Platform 31 introduces PDF-based physical printing for server-side and automated workflows. Generated reports can now be sent directly from an application to a physical or network printer — without a desktop UI, print dialog, or preview window.
Service Pack 31.003 marks the beginning of chart support in List & Label Cross Platform with initial 2D Pie and Donut charts, adds official support for ZUGFeRD 2.5, expands barcode and DataGraphic capabilities, and delivers further improvements for PDF handling, the Web Report Designer, and the Report Server.
Service Pack 31.002 for List & Label adds new capabilities across .NET, Web Components, Cross Platform, Designer, Export, Print, Mail, and Report Server. Highlights include support for Excel export and physical printing in Cross Platform projects, crosstab support in the Web Report Designer, improved formula assistance, better memory efficiency during project conversion, and updated security dependencies.
Desktop business applications eventually hit the same reporting problem: users want new reports, PDF exports, Excel output, print previews, and layout changes without waiting for another release. For development teams, that usually means a choice between piling up custom export code or building a reporting framework from scratch. List & Label offers a more practical option: embed reporting directly into your WinForms or WPF application while keeping control of your data, permissions, and user experience. This guide shows how to integrate it in a way that is practical, scalable, maintainable, and built for real-world line-of-business software.
Reporting sounds simple until it has to generate invoices, statements, customer PDFs, and scheduled exports reliably across containers, tenants, and production workloads. At that point, reporting stops being a side feature and starts becoming backend infrastructure — which means the real challenge is no longer how to generate a PDF, but how to build a reporting service that is stateless, scalable, and easy to run in modern environments.
Most .NET teams don’t set out to build a reporting subsystem that needs rescuing. But “just generate a few PDFs” can quietly become a tangle of layout logic, export workarounds, and growing technical debt—until someone says, “We have to replace this.” Here’s how to spot that pattern early, and how to avoid backing your application into a reporting rewrite later.
Why a new rendering engine? PDF documents have long since ceased to be used “only” as a pure export format in List & Label. In … Read more
