Simple Logo inserted into PS 1

[sbertrand]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to take a logo graphic and insert it into a dynamicly created postscript packing slip that is sent to our printer.

I can get our logo in different formats (eps,jpg, whatever else photoshop and InDesign can do).

I want the logo to be sharp, so some vector format I assume would be best. But I dont know how to merge that with our other postscript data.

From ASP (vbscript) I pull data from the database and create the postscript data and sent it to our network printer. So far so good. I just need a way where I could take images convert and save them to a text file on the server and then insert that text on the fly into the main text before sending to the printer.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Search this forum on "Forms" and embedding EPS images. Many threads, it seems to be the main question.

You can also read some articles on EPS and form caching on my website which also deal with this topic.

Does the logo need to display on the same position on every page of your print job?

If so, then you can encode the EPS as a form (again, search the forum), and use a /BeginPage procedure to execute the form. /BeginPage modifies the "showpage" operator, with the effect that the logo will appear on every page of your print job without needing to alter any inline code.

The code segment in this thread: thread280-798415 is what I was referring to with /BeginPage. Scroll down a few and you'll see it.

Thanks.

I used the example from your website and got something working. I'm now working on getting our logo in a vector format to keep the filesize down.

Thanks for your time and help.
