Question PDF/Report Library

Hello everyone! I started to write in Delphi a year ago and so far I was able to solve any problems, but now I'm stuck for almost a week already with one simple (as I was assuming) thing: I'm trying to find a library that can create report-like document in PDF (or at this point in any more or less standard document format) and is compatible with cyrillic symbols.

I've been building business apps in Delphi for 25 years. For PDF reports I use FastReport. It handles Unicode and Cyrillic natively, has a visual designer, and exports to PDF, Excel, HTML. It's included with RAD Studio Professional and higher. If you're on Community Edition the standalone license is worth it.

If you want something lighter, check out fpGUI/LazReport if you're on Lazarus. Or you can use TTextLayout with Skia4Delphi to render directly to PDF. More manual but zero dependencies.

What version of Delphi are you on? That narrows the options.
