Features include the ability to create reports in a variety of formats, such as PDF, Excel, and HTML. ActiveReports.NET is also highly customizable, with an extensive API and advanced feature library.

ActiveReports.NET v17.2 introduces Report Parts, which can be created from any report item, including tables, charts, text boxes, and images. These Report Parts are created by developers and added to the ActiveReports toolbox for end-users to drag and drop onto the design surface. This makes it easy for end-users to create complex reports without having to learn the intricacies of report design. Developers can specify the properties of the Report Part, such as its data binding, formatting, and visibility so that they that are tailored to the specific needs of their users.

FastReport VCL 2023.3 添加對動態字體大小調整的支援，確保報表在任何尺寸的螢幕或印表機上正確呈現。

FastReport VCL is a reporting and document creation library for Delphi and Lazarus which can be used to create a variety of reports such as invoices, purchase orders, shipping labels, sales reports, and more. It is easy to use, yet flexible enough to meet the needs of even the most demanding users.

FastReport VCL 2023.3 adds a dynamic font sizing feature which allows you to shrink text automatically for reports with limited sizes. This allows users to fit all of the necessary information on a single page, even if the data is too long to fit in the original font size. This can save time and money, as it eliminates the need to print multiple pages or to reduce the size of the font to the point where it is difficult to read. By scaling the font size to fit the available space, users can create reports that are both informative and easy to read. This can be especially important for reports that are intended to be shared with customers or other stakeholders.

The AutoScale property can automatically shrink the text in multiple objects until the band fits on the page or specified constraints are reached. Object compression can be controlled with a property to specify the amount by which the font is reduced in each cycle. This iterative approach to scaling content allows the reporting engine to prioritize which objects to compress to achieve optimal results.
