If you follow these steps, you don't have to put in into work first, just use the PDF. -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David A Parnin Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 2:36 PM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Need 2003 W-2 laser form bitmap for overlay If you can copy the image out of the pdf into word then the rest is easy. If the image fits on the screen you could probably do a print screen, paste it into Paint, trim it to what you want it to look like, copy it and paste it into Word. Onece you've got it into Word here's how I do it: 1. Make sure the IBM AFP printer driver is set up as a Windows printer. If not, it can be downloaded from http://www.printers.ibm.com/R5PSC.NSF/408caa37f0e043bd87256747000b3300/87256 8890059c03c87256b67006f4aff?OpenDocument. 2. Create the document that will become the overlay image. This can be done in Word, Excel, or any PC-based software that can print to a Windows printer. 3. Choose print and select the IBM AFP 240 printer driver. Check the print to file check box. Click the properties button. Click on output type and select "medium overlay". Click OK to accept. Click OK to create the .PRN file. 4. Transfer the file to the AS/400: Click on the START button, select programs, accessories, command prompt. When the command prompt window opens you will need to FTP the file to a folder on the AS/400 as follows: cd {path to location of overlay file from the print operation above} ftp {system name} bin cd /qdls/folder put overlay.prn quit On the AS/400: 1. Create a temporary physical file on the AS/400 to copy into: CRTPF FILE(library/WORKF) RCDLEN(8201) LVLCHK(*NO) 2. Copy the overlay file from the folder to the physical file: CPYFRMPCD FROMFLR(folder) TOFILE(library/WORKF) FROMDOC(myovl.prn) TRNTBL (*NONE) TRNFMT(*NOTEXT) 3. Create your overlay: CRTOVL OVL(library/MYOVL) FILE(library/WORKF) MBR(MYOVL) 4. You may now specify this overlay in the FRONTOVL parameter of the printer file or OVRPRTF of a CL program. It should overlay the generated output (when printed from the AS/400). NOTE: The Printer device type (DEVTYPE) must be of type *AFPDS. For additional information see "Turning a PC AFP Resource into an OS/400 Resource" at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/books/54457751174.htm Dave Parnin Nishikawa Standard Company Topeka, IN 46571 daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx G Armour <garmour400m@yaho To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx@SMTP@CTB o.com> cc: Subject: Need 2003 W-2 laser form bitmap for overlay 01/02/2004 03:15 PM Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@midra nge.com> Is there a publicly-available, IRS official 2003 W-2 laser form bitmap or other graphic format that can be imported into Microsoft Word? I did the obvious and checked out the irs.gov website, but as far as I can tell, they offer only info-only W2 forms. And only PDF files. I am brand new to overlays, and I am being instructed that we create overlays from Word documents, therefore, the W-2 laser form must be in a format that can be imported into Word. From the Word document a series of steps follow that turn it into an *OVL object on the 400. Can a PDF be turned into an AS/400 overlay object?
