KeyesOverlay - Summary

KeyesOverlay (Map Spooled Files to PDF)

KeyesOverlay is a revolutionary new tool that rapidly converts standard *SCS printer data into professional documents, in either black and white or full color.

Individual documents, such as Invoices or Purchase Orders, can be prepared with overlays, and can include things like Barcodes or MICR fonts. Or, it can be used to make large reports easier to read, complete with PDF bookmarks.

Easily turn standard printer data like this...
into professional full color documents.
Make ordinary report data like this...
easier to navigate by changing fonts, color, sizes and adding bookmarks.

PC Development Tools

KeyesOverlay comes with development tools to help you create overlays and to map your printer data onto the PDF documents. Overlays can be created using a print driver that we supply, called ImageMaker, with any PC application.

Your overlays will be converted to TIFF images and placed on our MappingTool development screen. The program will then automatically map your spooled file data onto the overlay for you. You may then cusomize the document by removing or adding fields, changing the location, the fonts, sizes, color and other attributes for each field.

Reports can be quickly customized to make important information stand out. With a few clicks of the mouse you can teach the system how to recognize important data in your reports. You then tell it how to present the different types of information on the page.

Application Program Interface

There are no KeyesOverlay API's. After creating a map member, for a document, you will code this member name in the Front Side Overlay parameter of a spooled file. When the spooled file is processed by our other products, KeyesOverlay will create the PDF.

Simple Installation

The software can be easily downloaded from our website and installed on any System i (i5, iSeries, AS/400) computer in its own library.
