I´m making some pdf reports to be used on a web app.
I wonder if the way I´m taking to make the designs is appropriated.
This would be a screenshot of the way I´m doing the things.

As you can see, I´m using tables to position everything in the document. I think this is a pretty much similar design to HTML. But I want to know is there is a better way to get the same result I got. This is the document without cell borders:

I could post the code if necessary. By the way, why should I spend long hours programming these kind of stuff with iText tool when I could do things faster and maybe better looking with iReport? I like iText, it´s just a question.

Sorry for my english and thanks!
