Hi brunocobra,

Do you mean a .txt file or would .csv work as well?

Unfortunately, I need a txt file, because I'll have to print this in a matrix printer...

I found an possible solution, but still need help to make. It's these: 
 
I discovered an Apache Project called FOP (<a class='bbc_url' href='http://xml.apache.org/fop'>Apache FOP</a>) that converts a Formatting Objects (FO) file to various other formats (like txt, that's what I need). 
So, my ideia was create my own Birt Servlet to take the .rptdesign file and convert, through FOP, to a txt file. 
 
My WebReport.java, that I created following tutorial (<a class='bbc_url' href='http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_(BIRT)_2.1#Setup)'>Servlet Example (BIRT) 2.1 - Eclipsepedia</a>, works generating HTML and PDF, but when I tried use HTMLRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_FO, it's doesn't work. It returns these message: "The output format fo is not supported." 
 
Why?!?! Please, it's not possible that I'm the unique Birt's user that has this question. 
 
Sorry for my English and waiting any light...
