PDF printing overlay error
and it all seems to be working correctly.
When I open my PDF in the email my invoice data is shifted to the left or
the overlay is shifted to the right.
Either way, the data and the overlay are not lining up properly. Any idea why?

The actual question should read:
I am emailing an AFPDS as a pfd with infoprint and it all seems to be working correctly. When I open my pdf in the email my invoie data is shift to the left or the overlay is shifted to the right. Either way, the data and the overlay are not lining up properly. Any idea why?
This happens to me also when using an overlay. I have to adjust the offset down and across parms in the OVRPRTF under Front side overlay parm. It will be different than the original spool file. If you are not using an overlay you could try to adjust with the Front margin offset down and across.
If the Print group PTFs are current, I’d first report this to IBM. As long as a page renders correctly on a printer, it should render through a PDF similarly. If it doesn’t, then either the printer file specification should be changed somehow or a PTF should be created. Either way, IBM should have the answer. — Tom
