Re: Print overlay

A simple box does not require a overlay. This can be done "if"
you are using an externally described print file and compile
the DDS as AFPDS. It can be printed on practically any laser
printer, although a IPDS printer would be a "tad" faster.

If you are using a pc printer with none native attach,
use HPT which handles AFPDS data streams just fine.

Drag out that DDS manual and start reading up on boxes, lines,
and all that other stuff you can do but most people never bother
to learn.

I have created some quite complex forms with lots of lines,boxes
and various fonts using DDS and lots of practice.

Can anyone give me guidance on how to create (and use) an overlay on a spooled file? I need to print a box in the top right corner on every page. 

Thanks,
