Re: Overlay not showing sometimes

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I think about it...

Your signatures are set up as overlays?  Are you sure about that?

I'd expect a signature to be a page segment.  An overlay is usually
the boxes and lines of a form itself, while page segments are used for
variables like signatures or logos.  AFAIK, you can only have one
overlay per page, while you can have multiple page segments.
