Overlays
The Overlays properties determine how existing PDF files are used to overlay new documents. Please note that overlays and the PDF/A format are not compatible, and properties are case-sensitive:
NAME
|
VALUES
|
DEFINITION |
Enabled |
Enables/disables overlay properties. If set to False then no further properties from this section are used.
Default value: False
|
|
OverlayFile |
String |
Specifies the file used as the overlay. The value must be a fully-qualified path name.
Default value: empty string
|
OverlayPassword |

|
Repeat |
0 (NoRepeat) 1 (RepeatLastPage) 2 (RepeatContinuous) |
Specifies the repeat option used for the overlay:
0 (NoRepeat): applies each page of the overlay file to the corresponding page of the new file. If the new file has a greater number of pages than the overlay file then the additional pages will not feature an overlay.
1 (RepeatLastPage): applies each page of the overlay file to the corresponding page of the new PDF file. If the new file has a greater number of pages than the overlay file then the additional pages will all feature the last page of the overlay file. If the overlay file features only one page then it will be placed on all the pages of the new file.
2 (RepeatContinuous): applies each page of the overlay file to the corresponding page of the new PDF file. If the new file has a greater number of pages than the overlay file then the overlay file will repeat from the beginning for the remaining pages. If the overlay file features only one page then it will be placed on all the pages of the new file.
Default value: 0 (NoRepeat)
