I haven't really considered converted it to DDS. At least 1 of the overlays would not be possible, but the others----MAYBE.
We are using externally defined printer files.

Subject: RE: overlay issues
Is it possible to convert the overlays to DDS keywords and page segments?
1) Do you have the source code and can you modify it?
2) Can you use an externally described printer file?
3) What is on the overlay? Lines & boxes? Logos? Signatures?
DDS keywords may give you more control if YES to 1 & 2.

Subject: overlay issues
I am trying to modify a report that uses overlays. In its current form, it's just a normal report(8`5 X 11) with a backside overlay. It will be different (assuming it's possible).
What I am attempting is to change this report so that it will be (11x17). This would probably be better as 2 reports with overlays, but the concern is losing 1 of the pages(this will go out to service people)
So if you imagine 2 8`5 x 11 pages sitting next to each other. On the front side will be on the left an overlay and on the right the report. On the backside will be overlays on both the left and right.
Now assuming I can get this to work, I then have to get it to print in the correct tray of the printer. The copier/printer I'm current testing on has tray 1(11x17) tray 2(8x14) and tray 3(8x11) It has been configured with priorities or something to make tray 3 the primary tray as it should be.
What I have done so far
Modified my AFP printer to change form size to 11x17 Created the overlay for the backside.
Created printer file with a length of 66 and a width of 160
I cannot get the overlay to print anything and I can't seem to get it to printer from the correct tray.
Any thoughts on how to get this to work?
