Overlays are "images" and DDS is "formatting instructions."  I've never
heard of a way to convert an overlay to DDS keywords.


The only connexion that I know of between DDS and overlays is the DDS
keyword OVERLAY.  I probably misunderstand the question; perhaps you could
post some converted DDS source that would spark an idea in my head?

What I am really looking for is a way to use the AFP Utilities to create
forms and then take those forms and convert them to DDS.
I am beginning to think I am Trying to compare apples to oranges :{

I do not have any converted source I was looking for a way to convert to
DDS.

The reason I even asked is that we have a project that is trying to get
away from using pre-printed forms and wanted to create the new form with
AFP and then use the form in the DDS.
