its not possible to ported in a cross platform way, it uses metafiles internally and lazarus does not support metafiles.

I assumed LazReport was DB only.  Can it be used in non-DB mode?  (Not that I know what @djleshouze want's the component for, I'm only asking for myself)

It should yes, for example add in a report a rectangle object (as they call it) set autosize and wordwarp to true and try to set its contents (text?) to a text big enough to require 2 or 3 pages it should autosize it and preview 2 or 3 pages, this does not work with the image though, it doesn't understands horizontal page change only vertical, it needs a better image printing control.
