I am attempting to automate a report using FME. I would like to take a feature class or shapefile and output a report of a table of the attributes. I have found the TableAdder transformer and the PDFStyler transformer but I feel I am missing something. Any suggestions on how to make this work?
Thanks.

Try labelpointreplacer on the objects you want to have in your tabel. Then a boundingbox and boundsextractor (or just latter).
Enter in TableAdder
Max X Value:(@Value(_xmax)-@Value(_xmin))*@StringLength(@Value(_concatenated))
Selected Attributes: @Value(_concatenated)
Row Text Heigth: attribute to Label Heigth.
This should be ample size to fit your text. Of course this will vary on the font you choose (i think).
@Value(_concatenated) would be your tabelcontent (string, texxt, number)
Use can either use 1 or 2 instances of this writer, one for text and one for tablegrid for more control.

Also you probably have to find the longest object in each row to set the Max_X.
My example does not check the attribute(s) used as Title(s). You should do that of course..else you possibly get non fitting titles
I create these tabels using attributexploders, counters, listbuilders and such to build the grid geomtery and fill it with the data.
Then i create a paper space box for the pdf writer to put the table in.
I never used this custom TableAdder (did'nt even know there was one actually)
Check the fme readers and writers bible, pdf section how to do that.

I would use the schema (any format) reader to get a list of all attributes and data types. explode them (ListExploder) and write into a xls using the fme_basename for the fanout. this way each xls tab will belong to one shape containing its attribute's names and data types.
