Hello,

Can anybody tell me how to insert logos/pictures(.bmp,.gif) on to Baan Check reports ? when we process them through tfcmg1260m000, the checks or payment orders must have logos printed on the output ?

Search this form for logos and you should find plenty of posts. There is also an example in the code and utilities forum by ~Vamsi on one method.

hi mark,

the information is not clear..Can you explain clearly ?

This link (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=7119) is ~Vamsi's solution. This is the method we use at my site - not an easy solution, but certainly feasible.

Here is another link (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=1194&highlight=logos) which includes ppt and word docs on how others do this.

You can find these solutions by clicking on "search" at the top of the page, go to "advanced search". Then in advanced search just put in "logos" as the keyword and click on the "search now" button. This should help you find other threads on the topic.

I found another solution, which is called 'yafpc'. It is a java program.
Just convert to PS, to PDF with ghostscript and merge a background pdf with the document.

Is there any other way to print the logo on baan checks or invoices without converting them to true type fonts ?

That is only one method of getting a logo onto the report. You can also checkout this discussion thread (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=12529&page=2&pp=15&highlight=forms+packages) and maybe you want to call rmc (http://www.rmcis.com/) or NAZDAQ (http://www.nazdaq-it.com/index.php) to see what they can do for you.

I tried with Scanfont trail version , but it is not allowing me to export the font.

Can you tell me any such font softwares(trail versions) which will allow me to export the font as ttf so that I can completely do the process ??

I only played with scanfont when I was trying to figure out how a consultant set up our logos. I found out that we actually use the method ~Vamsi described in the code and utilities forum. We have stuck with that since it seems to work - so I will not be any help with setting up true type font.

I purchased the scan font software and converted the logo into a font, added it to system fonts in control panel.

After this I added a detail layout to the report (with font as User font 3)on which the logo has to be printed. In edit layout i even gave the character "A" (since I assigned the character"A" to the font (ttf)). but the logo is not getting printed on the report.

I am trying this in baan5c. As per Vamsi's document, the font has to be changed for windows printer. but in baan 5c I couldnot see any font filed for windows printer session.

Can someone help me out of this ASAP.

Thanks

Nansat,

Follow these steps:
- Print the report, making sure you preview it.
- You should see the "A" in some font within BWPrint. Right click on the "A" and choose the Fonts option
- Set the User-3 font to the font you created

Reprint the report. You should see the logo.

The downside of this solution is:
- When you followed the above steps you were modifying the registry and now you have the task of setting the registry to the same values on every PC in the company.

BTW, did you have a chance to read through an excellent presentation at this link:

thanks you all for your suggestions...

Did it work? What were you missing when you tried the first time.

We are using HP printers with an additional RAM module. You can store your logos as a macro in this module and call ist from your printfile with barcode-fonts of the driver (this is just a way to call unix-scripts during printing. We use it to add some PCL Code for calling the macros. To create a macro you can use a word document and print it to file.

The scripts are executed at the end of your printjob. They are very helpfull if you want to add some information (i.e. a file :rolleyes: at the start of your report you create during printing... . I've tested it successfully :D ).

B.T.W: This only works on Unix!

the character "A"(userfont3 ) was shown on report , I was missing in changing the font of that character.

Now I am having another problem. I created a newlayout (detail)for report and added the character "A". Now when I say bwprint, preview, when the report is printed the logo is not printed and also all other layouts are not shown(eventhough the records exists) .
I want to have the logo printed on report, over the logo the details need to be printed.

can you please tell me how to do this ?

thanks

I want to have the logo as a water mark on baan checks, and the details to be printed over the water mark logo..Is it possible with scan font software ?

pls let me know asap..

thanks

Font as watermark - No.

- Have to use PCL files as overlays. Look for a Code & Utilities solution from yours truly.
- Second solution is to use PDF. There are tools that can overlay or underlay files on each other. Commercial and Opensource solutions abound.

There are also commercial solutions that accomplish the whole thing much easily. Post in Third Party Tools asking for recommendations.
