Hi Mark,
I install and train for our Publisher and Forms Manager software,
also develop the forms. Here's the gist of how it works:
1. I create the form, I use the PagePlus 8 software (about $100). Actually,
I have all of our baseline forms (standard ones) created, I just add the
customer's logo and other changes they'd like. Usual forms: Sales Orders,
Shipping Documents, AR Invoices, AR Customer Statements, Purchase Orders, AP
Invoices, AP Checks, Quotations, RMA's, and Vendor Shipping forms.
2. From PagePlus 8, I print the form to a file - I created a new HP printer
on my pc for that purpose - to output the form in PCL format - creates a prn
document.
3. I move this "prn" document to a UniVerse/UniData file.
4. On the UniVerse/UniData account, I use our Business Forms process to
define the form and create an 'overlay' record from that Form PRN record.
5. When printing the Form (PO, Sales Order, Invoice, etc.), we have a
subroutine that gets the Overlay and sends it to the printer which
recognizes it as a Overlay and holds it. As you print the data, when a full
page is reached or a formfeed the data and the overlay are printed on the
paper.
Note, our Publisher will recognize this form is to be emailed or faxed and
will grab the output, convert it to a PDF document, and then send (and
optionally print) the form.
Hope this helps!

Subject: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
One of my clients would like to replace their pre-printed forms with those
generated by the system. Basically the form has been re-created in MS
Publisher and saved as a PRN file.
I understand that there is some magic to send the form, keep the job open
and
then send the data for the form. This will most likely be HP PCL per my
insistence but there maybe some Canon network printers brought into the mix.
UV AIX RS-6000.
Thanks in advance
Mark Johnson
