how to print huge reports in flex?

I have a web app that prints reports, most are just one page, or two, so I just create a component tha开发者_运维百科t shows the data and print it.

But I have this one report that can have thousands of lines, with a custom format, Flash will slow down with this.

Is it posible to print it without showing the actual data on screen? or is there a component to print reports with custom format?

thanks

I guess i'll answer my own question saying that the best way to create reports is generating a pdf file on server.
