Yes I have done many overlays, but it is extremely difficult to land borders and boxes and headings in the exact place to look good and wrap that stuff around variable data.
And it may look great on one printer, and the next printer shifts the overlay 1/4" down. Fun

Have you explored form overlays? Most AFP-capable printers can handle overlays (although without "IPDS" capability the drawing of graphical elements is handled by the CPU...).
In the case of the overlay, you're only limited by what your paint program on your PC can handle!
You can OVRPRTF to a PDF file in the IFS:
OVRPRTF FILE(print-file) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) WSCST(*PDF) TOSTMF('/dir1/dir2/my-pdf-file.pdf')
Most other attributes of OVRPRTF can be used: CPI, FRONTMGN, FRONTOVL, etc.
I've only done this will a full-page overlay. I don't know how it would handle page segment pieces.
