Load a bitmap image into Reporting services

After scanning a document, can one load the resultant bitmap image into
Reporting services and be able to edit it.
eg. lets say a portion of the document was
Name : _______________
Surname : _______________
ID No. : _______________
Now where the underlined parts are, can one then go and edit it and Add a
field from a dataset.
The reason I ask is that I have several 20 odd page documents to create in
reporting services.
We want to automate the process whereby the users capture the neccasary data
in our application and the report is generated from this.
Now it may take forever doing this manually because will have to worry about
whether each page fits properly,
formatting and as the report gets larger the response times in Visual studio
is horrendous.
So I was just wondering if this were possible.
Or if anyone else has any other suggestions. Am using VS2005.
Thanks
SanjeevYou can put the image using image control, but not possible to edit. What you
can do is to put the document images as background and align the textbox
exactly as a entry field just next to the fields which require a value. This
way you can try, but not sure you may face some problem when you export to
different formats.
