About Overlay Editor

You use the Overlay Editor to create overlays.

An overlay can be regarded as information in a preprinted form that has not yet been filled out. Logotypes, organization names, and frames common to many types of output pages can be defined in one single overlay. If you need to change this information, you edit the overlay instead of changing every type of output page.

This guide contains instructions on how to create overlays. For information on how to add overlays to an output page, see the PageOUT documentation.

Create in Overlay Editor, import to Design Center resource set

You must create your overlays in the stand-alone version of the Overlay Editor. After saving the overlays, you can import them to your resource set. Once imported, the overlays can be edited in the Overlay Editor.
