Re: Can print front overlay but nothing prints on back

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks gentlemen!

Since there's no variable data on the back page, and since I was able to
get someone to print it in the office, scan it, and email it to me, the
urgency has diminished.

However, I can see more work of this type in the future, and it would be
nice to be able to view the back page.  I'll look into converting to PDF.
Charles, does this conversion happen after the spool file is created?  At
v7.1, is this conversion built into the OS?  Or is there some programming
required to accomplish this?
