Re: Creating AFP overlays

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxx>]

You are better off with the AFP print driver and a pc product to do the 
design.

I use Open Office Draw for my design. It works just fine.

I used the AFP Utilities for a while and it's just not well done in my 
opinion.

It does work but it requires some major practice to get it to work.

That's a very old product, and so is AFP print drivers.

The entire making a overlay is clumsy on a good day.

It was very expensive the last time we looked considering we maybe have 6 forms we could convert to a PDF. The two we have done were created using Word and the AFP print driver from IBM, then uploaded to the IFS and converted. (then test print and start all over again)
