If you want a GUI designer for your report then try iReport
<http://ireport.sourceforge.net/> which is a front end to
JasperReports. If you are the macho vi/Emacs type you can bypass
iReport and use one of them to write the XML required for
JasperReports <http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/>

Try LaTeX. works fine and gives perfect results.

This should probably be in the FAQ by now. It's been answered
often enough.

I suggest an xml representation from which you can do:
xml -> xslt -> html
or:
xml -> xslt -> xsl:fo -> fop -> pdf/ps
