Form has two items (date_of_exam and name_of_examiner).

Report should have two parameters (which would hold those values).

So, in Paper Layout, create two fields, let them have valid datatypes and their sources should be previously created report parameters' values.

Paper Layout is part of Report Editor - place where you "draw" your report (fields, frames, ...).
