Sometimes I get the question if it is possible to add an extra page with some fixed text containing e.g. terms and conditions. Often this extra page is included in the PCL output as an extra duplex page (fixed back page), but this fixed back page is ignored for PDF output. So I am asked how you can add such an extra page that will be added for both PCL and PDF output. Here is the trick:

If you activate copy management on an overlay, you can decide how many copies you want of each page. Here you just set the number to 2 and use this overlay (via an overlay selector) as the overlay for the last page. Inside the overlay you need to condition the elements so that some elements are only included on the first copy and some only on the second copy. Also remember to remove the spooled file data on the second page e.g. with a tabulator.
