Overview
Jasper Report is adopted as more flexible and easy way to create reports. Without it, we need to create Forms or Reports using ADempiere's Print Format. In some case, it is ok, but many cases quite difficult to use.
There are many pages in this Wiki talking about how to user Jasper Report, which will be very informative to read. To be more specific, this page will give the overview with pictures how to use Jasper Report as a Form, i.e., Invoice, Receipt, etc.
