Re: Overlays and PDFs

I have issues with manipulating images onto overlays and creating a PDF. It
looks good in the downloaded PDF but not when printed. Just yesterday I
had a standard all text printout looked fine in PDF but overprinted when
printed. We are on V7R5. I just moved the stuff around.

Has anyone else experienced this? Our development system is on V7R4 with
fairly recent PTFs.

Yes, in a way. I'm using an old S.P.E. eBox for converting AFP print jobs
to PCL before the data is forwarded to the printer via parallel port.

Converting the AFP print job to PCL with a remote *outq and
transform(*yes) locally, shoveling the result through GhostPCL to convert
that to PDF also yields mismatches compared to the printout.

I'm using V4R5. I have not yet come up with a solution, but I have a guts
feeling this is related to a general issue with differing printer margins
(hardware vs. PDF) and absolute vs. relative positioning in a PRTF.

:wq! PoC
