We create them by scanning the original form.  I can understand how you would 
be able to resize the image of the form before making the overlay, but the 
problem comes when you try to merge the print lines with the now smaller 
overlay.  Of course they don't match up now.  Resizing would seem to be the 
right approach, but it would have to be done with both the overlay and the 
print after they are merged together so that things remain lined up and in the 
correct place.  Am I making sense or have I completely missed the concept 
somewhere?

How are you creating the overlay? I am using MS Publisher and I can just
resize things to match what I need. It takes quite a bit of work to do.

Like others on the list, we are trying to eliminate paper handling as much
as possible through document imaging and report archiving to optical disk.
One issue we can't seem to resolve is when we have a pre-printed form that
we have created an overlay for.  The original form extends to the very edge
of the perforation on an 8.5 by 11 sized page.  When we try to print the
form merged with the print lines generated from the AS400, there seems to be
a problem due to a limitation in the HP printer not being able to print
close enough to the edge of the paper.  This causes the overlay to shift out
of position and things don't align properly on the form.  Has anyone
encountered this problem and how did you resolve it?  Can everything be
reduced some way so as to allow an adequate margin for the HP printer?  Does
some third party printing product solve this?

Thanks,
