Buck: I looked into forms printing a few months ago. One of the companies that seemed to provide some pretty solid answers is @: www.formone.com We wound up using a complex procedure that somehow involved Powerbuilder. (mistake) Sorry I can't offer any suggestions on the PSF/400. We did not explore that option because at the time (2 years ago) we felt it would not meet all of our needs.

I have a need to print graphic logo's, pie charts, boxes and shading all on the same bill. All the elements are floating, and I need to do 2-UP landscape printing for the "detail" pages, and 1-UP portrait printing for the "summary" (front) page. With DDS, I can print the logo's with PAGSEG, but I can't rotate them to landscape. The pie charts can be handled with GDF, and the boxes with LINE and BOX. Shading is a puzzler: do I use a PAGSEG that is, say, 50% grey screen? The floating element requirement means that I have to calculate how far down the page everything I print falls, including "normal" text: If I print 3 lines at 6lpi, I accumulate .5 inches so I know where the graphical elements can go. DDS won't allow me to easily to N-UP printing, but FORMDF has N-UP as a parameter... thus my question! Anybody got any hints?
