Hi everyone,

We have several documents that we prefill for our users.
For instance, we have several contracts that we either have scanned or converted to bitmaps/jpgs.

We simply print the image using DCPRINT BITMAP and using DCPRINT SAY, we print data onto the image.
The end result is that the user gets a contract that has prefilled information.


@ DCPRINT BITMAP 'image-8301.bmp'

@ 20,10 DCPRINT SAY oDrv:lastname
@ 21,10 DCPRINT SAY oDrv:firstname
@ 20,40 DCPRINT SAY oDrv:address
@ 21,40 DCPRINT SAY Alltrim(oDrv:city)+", "+oDrv:state+" "+oDrv:zip
DCPRINT OFF

The above is an simplistic example but I think it gets the point across.
We actually don't use coordinate based numbers anymore only pixel positioning but the result is the same.

Nothing is changed on the bitmap, it's only used as a background image.
Unfortunately, the DCPRINT system cannot do the same thing with a PDF.
And there are many legal contracts with regulations that forbid us from converting the PDF into a bitmap or any other format.

So I asked Roger if there was a way or software that could use the PDF only as a background image and then write on top of it in the print positions we choose.
If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Bobby

List&Label can do that.

List&Label can do that.

Do you know if this is possible with the standard edition?

This is a rather high expense for solving a single problem, plus the time I will spend on this learning how to use it.
If it were used for all reporting, then it's cheap.

Hi, Roger.

Since we have an "Enterprise Edition" (Warp 10, replicators and transporter included), we almost have everything they provide. You may check the features here or chat with a sales agent to get your questions answered:

They need to add a signature image to an area of the PDF, only when printing.

BullZip PDF can do This..
No change in Prg is required to print a digital certificate in the pdf...
Just use BullZip Pdf pro Options to set the certificate..
