Solution

  • I'm not sure about crossed lines since it's been a year since my last time using iReports, but I can't remember this kind of attention to the estetic part and I think you should probably use a background image.

    Regarding the logo touching header and detail, since I don't think iReport can deal with overlapping bands, I would suggest you to organize your report as shown in the following image.

    enter image description here

    Header (red part): take care of the whole report non connected to the detail

    Detail (green part): just your data

    You can handle vertical lines in both bands in order to preserve a sort of frame.

    I had to emulate several times this sample. and I've always reached my goal in this way.

    Hoping it helps.
