<p>I'm not sure of any available tool out there to do this.  Actuate has a professional services package for converting e.Reports to BIRT though:</p><p> </p><p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.actuate.com/services/resources/?articleid=19330'>http://www.actuate.com/services/resources/?articleid=19330</a></p><p> </p><p>Otherwise, you'd likely have to write a class to do it or re-design them one by one.</p>
