Hi ,

i tried ur suggestion of commenting out all the lines 0 statusdict /setpapertray get exe

but the problem now is when i have a report with more than one page its only show/print the first page ?!

i tried to put the code in many places after the 0 statusdict /setpapertray get exec but it doesnt work

i have for exmple a file with 5 pages and 5 sections as below ,

%%Page: 1 1

%%BeginPageSetup

%%BeginFeature: *PageSize Letter

%%EndFeature

%%BeginFeature: *InputSlot Upper

0 statusdict /setpapertray get exec

%%EndFeature

0 0.000 -3450.000 0 83.333 66.666 1.000 1.000 IP

%%EndPageSetup

initclip

BeginPage executes at the beginning or before your image. Change it to  EndPage which executes after.
