TLAshford has a forms product as well. If you are familiar with their label product you may prefer their solution.

We do all of our branded pack slips in house. We use the AFP driver to print the pack slip to a file and then create an Overlay from that.

I thought 5770AF1 is going away. but printing is supported.

Printing for Overlays

Hi Conan,

One of my customers is using Acom forms software (acom.com). Its
method is to merge a spool file with a form (designed with their
tools). During the merge, data in the spool file can determine which
form is used. Within a form, spool file data can also conditionally
print various logos or text. A lot easier than the AFP overlays.

a number of different retail customers. Most of them require that we
include Branded Packing Slips in the shipments that include their logo
and very specific formatting. We have been using AFP overlays to
accomplish this and haven't been thrilled with the process involved.
Now with the elimination of support for AFP printing, we are looking
to see if there are any IBM or 3rd party packages that can do this,
hopefully in a more efficient manner.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
