The offsets are (0 0) for the front overlay. It was created in Word as a landscape page. It does print fine if printed directly from the outq to a physical printer. But, CPYSPLF *TOSTMF *PDF is where it has an issue. IBM is looking into it. I've tried various page rotations and that does not help.

Your AFP page has two origins. Unfortunately the origin for the text is the only one that gets moved with PAGRTT. So for TEXT you have a landscape page, but for GRAPHICS you have a portrait page. i.e. your across is still
8.5 inches and your down is 11. Just give it a quick try, flip your original across and down positions for the graphic.

If you are developing a new app, I recommend making your page size the orientation that you need to print the bulk of the page. i.e. Make a landscape page of 11 x 8.5 and avoid the use of PAGRTT.

If this is still too confusing, please give me a call.

I'm trying to overlay a logo on a landscape report. I've done this fine in portrait before.


For some reason, the logo is not printing at the top of the page but a
couple of inches down. I've tried a number of combinations but can't get
it to flush up to the top margin.


The overlay was created in MS-Word using the 600dpi AFP driver. Page was
landscape and the graphic placed centered at the top margin.


Here's the OVRPRTF (in the RPG):

CmdStr = 'OVRPRTF FILE(EWS305PT) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) '
+ 'PAGESIZE(66 132) OVRFLW(62) PAGRTT(90) '
+ 'FRONTOVL('
+ %trim(Logo) // Logo is a 10-char name
+ ') OVRSCOPE(*JOB) HOLD(*YES)';


Suggestions??


TIA......
