Populating a PDF with Java Form

Ive searched through similar answers but not quite getting a complete answer so need to explain here.

What i have is a JFrame form that an Employee in a manufacturing plant needs to fill in everytime something goes wrong with the production process.

What i want is for a user to click a "Print Report" JButton on the JFrame form and it will populate the following PDF Report with the info from the JFrame.

I ended up using Jasper Studio. It does the job perfectly. Has a bit of a learning curve but works 100%.

You can just send the report an SQL Query rather than all the parameters to create a dynamic Report.

JasperReports is also a good alternative. I've been using it for a while now and it works perfectly for generating/exporting dynamic reports. You only need to design the template once using iReports and you can use it to generate any PDF on the fly.

I use this library http://itextpdf.com/, you will spend some time programing the form, but then all will be really fast.
