Re: Fold marks on invoice

[Paul Wrightson <..hidden..>]

Here is what I did - I cannot remember where I got the information from 
or whether I had to install the Textpos package. It goes after the 
\begin{document} line.

% FOLD MARKS
% Each textblock* environment defines a single foldmark
% the syntax is:
%    \begin{textblock*}{WIDTH}(X-POSITION,Y-POSITION)\noindent
%      \rule{\hsize}{HEIGHT}
%    \end{textblock*}
% WIDTH, HEIGHT, X-POSITION, and Y-POSITION can be given in a variety
% of units. I prefer points (1/72 inch) because they are precise enough
% for almost anything.
\begin{textblock*}{9pt}(18pt,279pt)\noindent
 \rule{\hsize}{0.2pt}
\end{textblock*}
\begin{textblock*}{9pt}(18pt,543pt)\noindent
 \rule{\hsize}{0.2pt}
\end{textblock*}
\begin{textblock*}{9pt}(584pt,279pt)\noindent
 \rule{\hsize}{0.2pt}
\end{textblock*}
\begin{textblock*}{9pt}(584pt,543pt)\noindent
 \rule{\hsize}{0.2pt}
\end{textblock*}

I do PDF and print or email everything, so I know it works with PDF!
The marks are pretty close to 1/3 and 2/3 - I think I had to 
additionally modify the invoice so that the name and address showed 
through the window of the envelope type I tried.
BTW - this is letter sized paper.
