Overlay Settings

The Overlay option lets you easily add a company logo or other fixed item to every page of PDF files you create. It also lets you place artwork or other fixed items onto just the first page of your PDF files, together with items that change from file to file.

There are two places in the program where you can define how pages of PDF documents should be overlaid:
