If you need simple reports you can write your own reportes using PyFPDF to generate PDF reports for your app.

PyFPDF is ported from php FPDF http://www.fpdf.org/

If you need manipulate big amount of data I recomend you  Google BigQuery.

Happy coding !

Thank you, could you help me using java language.

[Richard Watson]

Thaseena, depending on your requirements there are various approaches.

I'm using Docmosis for simple PDF output.  http://docmosis.com/

Alternatively you'll have to use a generator for e.g. PDF or Excel or whatever you want to export as.  You can also connect to Google Documents via the API, but I'm not sure how reliable that is.

We use the Doc List API (but go with Drive these days) and it is reliable.  You can create a Google Doc, save as HTML, then input your REPLACE_THIS variables to create a template.  After doing so, you then upload that document with the convert option to create a Google Doc.  You can make another request to make that into a PDF (not sure about that last one, doing it from memory, we usually just go to Docs, but I'm pretty sure you get get that doc to a PDF using the API).
