Re: Color Overlays with PDF

Thanks Brad, but I am looking for something that would allow me to create 
color overlays for the PDF and then use the functionality of the Systemi to 
create the PDF.

Robert,

I use Primo PDF.  It allows you to print anything to a PDF file.  That
means you can make your overlay in Word or whatever, and print it to a
PDF file.
