The OBJECT command allows you to define an external object to PPFA. Then you can use the PRINTLINE command (Traditional) or the LAYOUT command (Record Format and XML) with the OBJECT subcommand to place the defined object on a page.

You can use one PRINTLINE command (Traditional), LAYOUT command (Record Format), or XLAYOUT command (XML) to place one or many defined objects multiple times with different placement parameters on each placement. On the PRINTLINE OBJECT subcommand, enter information about the positioning, rotation, color, object size, page number, and mapping instructions. All positioning is relative to the print line coordinate system. The lname appears both on the OBJECT command and on the PRINTLINE OBJECT subcommand (Traditional), the LAYOUT OBJECT command (Record Format), or the XLAYOUT OBJECT command (XML).

OBJECTlname

Identifies the object and also is used to match a PRINTLINE OBJECT subcommand (Traditional), the LAYOUT OBJECT command (Record Format), and the XLAYOUT OBJECT command (XML). The lname can be no more than 16 alphanumeric characters.
