Please excuse the length of the post but I am new here and not quite sure how to get across what I need. We have a spool file that we do not have source for, it's from our financial application and cannot be changed. I need to take data from that spool file and place it in specific location on an overlay that includes our logo, some boxes, a watermark, and a few other graphics. I have created and uploaded the overlay with no problem, and attached it to the spool file. The overlay prints great, but the spool file data prints exactly like it looks in the spool file. How can I map the spool file data to a position on the overlay?
For example, in the spool file (MYSPOOLF) the employee name is on line 4, beginning in position 20 for a length of 30 characters. I need the employee name to be printed, with the overlay (MYOVERLAY), in the position of 1 inch down and 2 inches across.
Is there a way to do this without using a purchased package? Someone told me InfoPrint did this, but I don't think we have that (is there a way to check?).
Thanks in advance for any info (the "For Dummies" version would be especially appreciated!).
