We’ve been looking for reporting components, and we’re having difficulty a report designer that will render reports properly on both phones and computers. We want the report to display in the same way on different screen sizes (desktop and phone), or at the very least, display on both without clipping on the phone. Our thought is the easiest way to lay out such a report is for the report designer to specify table and column sizes as a percent of the width (sort of like HTML tables) rather than hardcoded pixel sizes. So when my page is resized, my report (and content elements) also gets resized, and it continues to fit.
We tried Telerik Reporting but unfortunately they don’t support this feature. They also don’t support the feature where report is resized when window is resized. The size you lay out is the size it is. They indicated they have something that will come out in beta soon, but have given us very few details. We tried the demo for Infragistics, and it seems to have the same limitations.
Is there anything else in the development space that will allow us to produce reports with more “fluid” layout, or in the very least, zoom in on the phone instead of clipping?

is twitter bootstrap an option? tb supports responsive design which will make easier to adapt your report to any device, you just will need to adapt your media queries
kendo ui supports responsive design you may take a look, if bootstrap is an overkill you should try a separate jquery UI or JS library that helps you out with a fluid layout
hope that helps
