  1. Thanks Dan. The <t> works perfectly. Thanks for your help.
  2. Hi Dan. The below code you wrote works really well for bringing in each graphic element. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is the spacing between each object. var symbols = { DC: 'g', W30: 'w', CI: 'c', DNB: 'd', DNTD: 'n', // add any other mappings you want here }; function GetSymbol(incode) { return symbols[incode] || incode; } var codestring = Field("Cleaning Codes"); var codes = codestring.split(/\s/); return '<f name="Your Font Name">' + codes.map(GetSymbol).join(' '); With the .join(' '); at the end there is no space between regardless of how many spaces are put in. If you insert a character .join(','); it will put that character in between. I thought I might be able to insert a tab character but no luck. Is there a way to control the spacing with this script? https://owncloud.ricoh.co.nz/index.php/s/c7g89v7tLF5SBto https://owncloud.ricoh.co.nz/index.php/s/6RjdhkT7fZFDGUv
  3. My bad on the links. Hopefully attached this time but will have a go with what you have shown.1.pdf 2.pdf
  4. Hi Dan, thanks for your time. I have since found out why the customer uses graphics rather than the font. They have two areas where symbols need to be added from one field but the second source doesn't have a font associated. They also found some characters needed to have a baseline shift for their preference (see attached 1.pdf). With their current system they moved away from fonts. I was able to get the fonts to display with your script but I wasn't able find certain characters 'P' (see first character in 2.pdf). I tried to insert using <unicode gid=true>****</unicode> but nothing came back so not sure I was inserting this correctly. Can the code you have to pull out the Field markers ie 'DC' etc be applied to insert images which would then also be modified and used to pull the images for the second group of icons under 'usage' (see 2.pdf)?
  5. I am trying to figure out how I can pull multiple different symbol graphics into a document from one field. The field will be populated with something similar to below Cleaning Codes (field name) DC W30 CI DNB DNTD (data) So here I would have 5 different graphics. There could be up to 15 unique symbols but a max of 7 displayed at anytime. I do have a font for the symbols but what I'm not sure based on my reading that I can swap say the 'DC' out for a different glyph in a different font. Could FP create extra fields on the fly and populate using a grep function?
  6. Thanks for the replies. I will look into using the other methods mentioned.
  7. Since upgrading to FP11 on Mac 10.15.3 I seem to get a unusual message when composing jobs if I have used a CopyFitLine rule. The amount of text inserted into a flow exceeds the depth of all frames in the flow <>. Text is truncated. Text does not fit in the last frame on page 0 at (0 in, 0 in). The job I noticed it on does have text that may need scaling and if you remove the copyfitline rule it works. I was told it could be related to the frames copyfit rule but even removing that doesn't stop the message. When composing it hasn't had an effect on the output file. Same file in FP10 had no issues. To test I have made a very simple file (attached) with a large text frame and a single record that fits into the frame. When I apply a copyfitline rule I still get the message even though the text has had to fit. I haven't tried under Windows but wonder if it is something I'm doing in the rule or a Mac related issue?

  8. Thanks Dan so simple in the end. Really appreciate you taking a look.
  9. Hi Dan, sorry that was the previous year which I was checking to see if I received similar output in the log. I have provided the zip file for the original post + just the first record composed with msg file. When composing I am just going through Acrobat to PDF. 2018 Mens Tickets.zip Test Print 1 Record.zip
  10. Thanks Dan. I have added the collected file.2017 Mens Tickets.zip
  11. Hi, I have a ticket job that I have done for the last two years and getting the job done hasn't been a problem. I am about to hand it over to someone else and thought it was time to try and tidy up a message I get in the log file. The tickets are for an event that runs over say 5 days. With a day session and night session. Each session has a different background image colour, these are pdf resources (I have named these backgrounds small). On a couple of the days there is a different access for some session tickets which means the background image needs to be the same colour only slightly different layout (These again are pdf resources which I have named large) For my graphic frame I have a rule that checks a field (see attachment). If there is data in the field then it applies another rule (large) that checks for the day and session to apply the different size background. If no data is present it applies another rule (small) for standard background. When I compose my job works perfectly but when I check the log file every time the small background runs the log records "Graphic rule LargeBackgroundRule did not return a resource of type graphic". When the rule finds this condition the log file records no issue. My understanding was that if a rule wasn't met then it moved on till it found a condition. If I reverse the rule options so I am looking for the field to be blank I still get the same log message. Hopefully I have made some sense but am happy to post other info if it may help. I am on MacOS 10.13.5 using Acrobat DC 2015 with FusionPro 10.0.26
