I have the following requirement:
Print a salary receipt to a company form, previously generated as a pdf file
The application calculates the monthly salaries of the company's personel and issues a salary receipt for each employee. Now they print the receipt to a preprinted form with te company logo and the Treasurer's signature But they want to have the blank form, with the logo and static text, including the officer's signature on the form, to be filled with the salary data, employee name, deductions, etc and print the whole on a blank sheet by a laser printer. In this way the company will save the cost of having preprinted forms. They will simply use a letter size sheet to print each receipt
What do you suggest, please? What about FoxyPreviewer, or any other software?
Perhaps ask the printing company to scan a blank form and produce a pdf file, or another image file?
Please advise
Thank you

You could scan the blank form and insert the saved image into a blank report design and then overlay the parts of the form that need to be completed with the usual report controls

Maybe I'm missing something but would you not just design a normal VFP report with the logo graphic and whatever boxes and lines are required, reproducing the pre-printed stationery, and print that to PDF via XFRX or whatever?
Which is exactly what we have done for our HMRC P60s

Perhaps I was not very clear.
I have scanned the empty receipt as a pdf image. I want to fill it with the applicable data and then print it on a laser printer
I can't use the vfp report writer because it will not take a pdf file as an image. And if I use a jpg file instead, it will not allow me to make it fit in the page with the right shape.

Like Alan suggested I think the easiest solution is to just create it using the VFP report writer. Put all the words, lines, boxes etc using the normal report writer tools and anything graphics like that you can't create, put that in as a JPG or GIF. I have done that on loads of reports here. You may be able to do the whole page as a watermark or something like that and pretty sure there are people on the forum who have done a full page watermark in VFP, but I'm sure the normal report is easier.

In Document Management systems this is given. You set the shell that holds the text objects in place on top of the pdf file. You then pass the data to this program and it pumps out a mail merge like operation. There are a few in open source as a guess. My last project to do this created a label for cases that the grand jury approved for prosecution. The label had columns for defendant's info as well as other court data. The PDF was the seal for the court as well as labels for data.

The opinions are flying, so...
In Document Management systems this is given. You set the shell that holds the text objects in place on top of the pdf file. You then pass the data
... This is a false statement. Document management systems do not use the "print on top of PDF" design as "a given." The 2 document management applications that I have worked on threw out this approach mostly because of what Ted has pointed out. I've done other applications where "document management" was a component and we also did not use it there. One thing I have implemented regarding PDFs is an "archiving" function (aka, exactly what was sent to the customer, user). Those components simply printed output twice (once for the users, once to the logging PDFs when then got placed back into the DB).
Like Alan suggested I think the easiest solution is to just create it using the VFP report writer. Put all the words, lines, boxes etc using the normal report writer tools and anything graphics like that you can't
... I'll second the "write-in-VFP" option for a couple reasons: 1) the output quality will be superb, and when generating paper for users/customers, the quality of the finished product leaves lasting impressions (don't forget about color! <g>) 2) there will be a huge payoff for future maintainability and flexibility (got change in form, new form, more data? no problem!).
In fact, if your company would allow you, go ahead and send me (colemanc@acm.org) a scan or picture of the form and I'll get it started for you (I generally use VFP9, but if you have earlier versions let me know). The thing is, there are some features of the VFP Report Writer that are hard to explain, but if you see them in action the lightbulb comes on (for example, to put a box around the whole content, just stretch a box from header to footer bands). So, while I may not have time to do a complete form, I can probably set up the initial layout which you could easily expand from there.

Thnk you for your offer Charlie.
However, I would not want you to loose any time on this, since I came up with a very simple solution, as described in a previous post.

If you can get the PDF as a fillable PDF form you can then use PDFtk to fill the form from VFP.

Frank,
Ted is completely correct. Just use VFP: 1) scan your given PDF form and extract the different images from that file into separate .jpg files 2) create a dbf/cursor with all the fields you are required to fill in the given PDF 3) search internet for the font used for that PDF 4) create a VFP Report, where you put the images you have colleted at their place like on the given PDF 5) set all the captions as on the given PDF to the text as in the font as 6) set all the textboxes font as on the given PDF 7) save report, print and compare A job which can be done in less than 1 hour. (maybe 1st time a little bit longer, however when you know how-to certainly < 1 hour) If you find problems with this approach, feel free to contact me.

Thank you guys
I just scanned the empty form and embedded it in a VFP report
Then, by painstaking trial and error I managed to make the report textboxes coincide with the right place on the form.
I printed it and it looks well enough
The textboxes have to be set as "bring to front" and the scanned image have to cover the header, details and footer areas of the report.
It also has to be a JPG image. The VFP control will not accept a PDF file, unless I am missing something very obvious
Thanks again for your suggestions

The advice is pretty good, "don't do this unless you have to."
My clients have shipped a quarter-million PDFs with data merged from a database app. so I've given this a bit of thought.
Using an image as a background is the worst possible solution short of writing out the receipts by hand and postal-mailing them.
The image is large, it's usually poorly focused, it's rarely well-aligned and it will look like poo when printed at the other end.
Rather than mix analog (the scanned image) and digital content, you can use the VFP report writer, original hi-res logos, and a PDF printer to put out clean text and high-resolution graphics.
Or you could redesign the form in another tool, like Word or LibreOffice or Draw and convert it to a data form with CutePDF Professional and merge data into the PDF with Adobe's (expensive) tools or something like pdftk (free but more complex). That's a LOT more work, and I don't recommend it, unless there's some reason you can't use VFP and/or XFRX or Foxy. ( I had to go this way because app was PHP, not Fox)

Check out freeware virtual PDF printers? Even if you needed to pay for commercial use, they were cheap.

Now they print the receipt to a preprinted form with te company logo and the Treasurer's signature But they want to have the blank form, with the logo and static text, including the officer's signature on the form, to be filled with the salary data, employee name, deductions, etc and print the whole on a blank sheet by a laser printer. In this way the company will save the cost of having preprinted forms. They will simply use a letter size sheet to print each receipt

BTW "In this way the company will save the cost of having preprinted forms" - is it really more expensive than blank paper + laser printer printing logo, background picture, frames etc.?

I have the following requirement:
Print a salary receipt to a company form, previously generated as a pdf file
The application calculates the monthly salaries of the company's personel and issues a salary receipt for each employee. Now they print the receipt to a preprinted form with te company logo and the Treasurer's signature But they want to have the blank form, with the logo and static text, including the officer's signature on the form, to be filled with the salary data, employee name, deductions, etc and print the whole on a blank sheet by a laser printer. In this way the company will save the cost of having preprinted forms. They will simply use a letter size sheet to print each receipt
What do you suggest, please? What about FoxyPreviewer, or any other software?
Perhaps ask the printing company to scan a blank form and produce a pdf file, or another image file?
Please advise
Thank you
