Inspired by [this thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/create-a-report-from-mysql/73622/5) on creating PDF reports, I realised that uibuilder can now create reports in a very similar way to the suggested pdfmake from that thread.

The big differences being that uibuilder will create a web page for you and it gives you full access to all of the capabilities of HTML, CSS and even JavaScript. But it still simplifies the creation to a great extent, bringing it firmly into the "low-code" category.

I've put a full, working example and additional information into the following Flow:

So please do have a play with it - especially if you are looking to create reports from Node-RED.
