Overlay with positioning

Post by w.bromley »

Hi Guys!

I have some base artwork, say 1 page A4, that I need to overlay pre-existing mailing labels onto. The labels exist as pages in a PDF - but the pages are not the same size as the base artwork.

I can split down into individual pages - but im stuck on how to say "overlay this smaller page onto this base artwork at x y position".

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Easiest is to make the labels PDF to A4 too with the positioning of the address corresponding to your result

That sounds about right to me - how can I do that? They are currently in 2 files of around 500 pages (records) each.

Apologies - I dont have much experience with Pitstop Actions and that kind of thing...

The "Overlay PDF" action has positioning capabilities:

Based on your description of the problem, I think that is your solution.
