Not unless you like Java.
If Java is your thing then JasperReports (and it's various GUI designers)
aren't bad, but it looks like BIRT (http://www.eclipse.org/birt/) may be
better shortly (though it's a recent 1.0 release and still doesn't run on
OS X and is a little incomplete in places).
If you like XML+SQL for template generation my reporting engine
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/wttwreport/ will do some lovely looking
PDF reports. There isn't any GUI front-end or scripting support, though,
and there isn't likely to be (I'm porting some of the code across to
OpenRPT and using BIRT...).
Cheers,
Steve
