<p>Hi there,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd like to know, if feasible, how to create BIRT report design for strict machine readable design like this -</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I have investigated the use of tables and grid and it will be near impossible to get the precision mentioned above. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the BIRT documentation I see that there is a free-form container element that could be used where are reportItem/reportItemSlots could be positioned using X and Y coordinate system. Am I reading this correctly? - Page 15 in -> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
