Title: How to use Overlays, Form Definition and Page Definition and usage of it.
Post by: SunnyManeeth on July 01, 2014, 03:19:30 PM
Hi All,

       How can we create a Overlay using the AFP Print Driver, Create a FORMDEF file that points to the new overlay ,Create a PAGEDEF file that must be referenced during the load.

What is use of using the Overlay and In which case we will be using this?
I don't know the exact usage on this can anybody suggest me.

Thanks
Sunny :)

  You would need a product like OGL (Overlay Generation Language) to create overlays and PPFA (Page Printer Formatting Aid) to create formdefs and pagedefs.

Electronic overlays can be used to mimic a pre printed form or statement, add logos/signatures, etc.  A formdef controls the logical presentation of the document, and other things like duplex/simplex, what overlays to use, etc. 

A pagedef controls how the data is placed on th physical page.
