Re: OVERLAY with PDF problem

Hi Tom,

2010/5/12 Tom Deskevich <thomas.l.deskevich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I have a print job where I am printing a front and back overlay using
duplex. When I print, it looks fine, everything prints where it should.

Probably the PDF device has a page definition (*LETTER / *A4 ... ) not
matching the other one.

Put when I do an OVRPRTF to a pdf, the overlay shifts, and the variable
information does not hit the overlay.

I do have DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) , TOSTMF('/image/parks.pdf') and WSCST(*PDF) .
I have tried to take off the DUPLEX, and the back OVERLAY.

Tried creating the overlay different ways. I start with a PDF to create the
overlay.
I have page scaling NONE. Print text as graphics off.
I have tried to print to an AFP 300 and 3812 printer to create the overlay.

I do not get any errors in the OVERLAY creation process.
I copy it from IFS to QDLS, do a CPYFRMPCD then CRTOVL.

You can easly create overlays via System i Navigator without using
intemediate files or docs:

AFP Manager > Resources > Overlay rigth click and Import...
