Question

This is beyond me. I've been searching forever.

I need some software - web-based is alright - that can produce simple PDF reports, and can be used by a client:

Easy interface (drag and drop would be swell)
No coding
No databases
No queries

Open up a template, fill out the input fields manually, export as PDF. It should essentially be MailChimp (referring to usability) for reports.

Does this not exist? I've already tried Pentaho and Jasper - they're too difficult.

The field reports my client is going to produce could be done in Microsoft Word with a few tables, but it wouldn't be user-friendly in the long run, when they make reports for each project.

Explanation / Answer

Since you didn't specify free I am going to suggest producing the templates with Adobe Acrobat and their forms creator, (there are free alternatives), this will allow you to produce forms, with user fillable fields and rules, that can then be printed, sent, saved, etc.
