Convert JPRINT to XLS

Understanding jprint and xls file formats

JPRINT is a file format generated by JasperReports, a popular open-source reporting tool. JPRINT files are serialized print objects that store the layout and data of a report, typically used for printing or exporting to other formats. They are not directly viewable or editable in spreadsheet applications.

XLS is the file extension for Microsoft Excel's proprietary spreadsheet format. XLS files can store data in rows and columns, support formulas, charts, and are widely used for data analysis and reporting.
