Has anyone ever used Jaspersoft? (lemmy.world)

I am someone who has been trying to pivot into having a tech job. I have used LaTex before as a student and there is a job I am trying to take that uses Jaspersoft to make reports. Is jasper similar to LaTeX? Are there resources you found particularly helpful?

I am currently still looking to get my install, hello world, and combing their site.

In a previous job we had a tool where you could export data to PDFs using JasperSoft. There's JasperSoft Studio to design these reports. It's basically drag&drop of the different types of boxes and fields onto your virtual page, give them the right names and the application will then fill in these boxes and fields and generate your PDF.

Is it a low code tool?

The template design is basically no code, IIRC. (But still complex.) Not sure about the code to use that template, though.
