Re: Overlay rotation problems

[wscott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The i Series and PSF/400 will rotate the page, but it is famous (OR shall 
I say Infamous) for rotating the text orientation and point of origin , 
and leaving the graphic/overlay orientation and point of origin alone. 
This causes much confusion.

So to avoid creating or learning new curse words. Start this way. Which 
way do you want to print on the page? Portrait or Landscape. I'm guessing 
portrait. And since I assume that the overlay will be imaged first with 
any variable data on top of it, simply make it portrait. (8.375 X 9 ) . 
You can still use your offset, just position the image at the usual top 
left corner.

Pagrtt(0) didn't help.  My text is fine, the overlay is rotated.

Here is what's happening:
