  1. Drewstre, I don't think you can use a relative path in the Resource Editor. The resource has to be linked directly to it's location when you choose it during the add resource process. Then you need to but the relative path in the Composition Settings - Advanced tab Search Paths but you don't need the ./ just the name of the sub folder. In your case just Links. Here is an excerpt that helps explain it from the following link: https://forums.pti.com/topic/1198-relative-file-paths/#comment-4810 That's not entirely true. If you merely want to reference resources in a subfolder of your template folder, all you need to do is type that folder's name in the "Search Path" box on the Advanced tab of the Composition Settings dialog. Not a relative path with dots and slashes and such, just the folder name, i.e. "RESOURCES". That's all you need. Then any calls to file names in functions like CreateResource will automatically search that folder. The key here is that "RESOURCES" is a relative path; it's the same as "./RESOURCES" (or ".\RESOURCES", or even ":RESOURCES" in the old HFS-style specification on Mac). You can also type other relative path specifications in the "Search Path" box. For instance, typing "../RESOURCES" there will reference a folder that's a sibling of your template folder. And ".." will reference the parent folder of your template folder. Note also that you can enter multiple paths in the "Search Path" box, using semicolons to delimit them. So you can type something like "Graphics;../Graphics;../data" and all of those folders will be searched, in order (after the input and format/template file folders, which are always searched first, as I noted in my previous post). ----------------------------------- Hope this helps.
  2. I thought it might be a configuration issue. Thanks for the fast reply. I'll get us updated across the board to resolve the issues.
  3. It happens on all templates, It doesn't seem to matter if I select undo or cancel the screen flashes and everything looks normal. If I copy and paste, I get the same screen flash and I get the message again and have to select cancel or undo.
  4. I updated to VDP 9.3.22 and ever since I did I'm getting a message every time I move a variable box that says: Do you want to Undo the overflow changes? Has anyone else had this issue? If so anything to do to get rid of it? It is very annoying. Thanks,
  5. I recently upgraded us from FusionPro VDP Creator 9.2.31 to 9.3.26 and now when I launch multiple jobs for composing one after another, jobs are left out of the process. Before the upgrade all jobs would compose one at a time until all were done. We automate processes whenever possible and have AppleScripts that we use to run multiple jobs up to 6 or 8 at one time. Now depending on how long it takes to process the first job only one other job out of 6 actually compose. Has anyone else run in to this?
  6. That worked like a charm. I really appreciate the help. This has a load of uses for things we want to be able to provide clients.
  7. I am needing to resize the entire frame so that the border is approx an 1/8" from the text on the left and right sides. Sounds like I would need to get a Producer or server license to be able to make this happen. Thanks for the quick reply.
  8. I have a variable text box with a border on it. I need to resize the Border based on the size of the variable. Can this be done?49868_LTR_SBN8_VAR.zip
  9. I 've been working on this project with a CSR looming over me and can't come up with the right fix. I have a table that will have a variable number of rows based on an external data file. I've seen all the posted threads and have tried parts of a lot of them. I can get the table to look like I want it to, but i can't get the variable row part to work. I have attached the project where I have it right now. I'm just stumped as to where to go from here. Any insight or fixes would be highly appreciated. Thanks! TABLE_SETUP.zip
  10. I am setting up a job that needs a variable slug. I found the set up info in the Rules manual and have created the OnJobStart Rule. I have created a template page. But I can't find any info on how to place the Slug rule on the template page. Is there a full explanation somewhere on how to set this up? Thanks!
  11. I have the same problem. The only workaround I have come up with is to duplicate the first record in my data. This will will create the first record (the Dup) as the generic name "repeat-output.pdf" and correctly name all records 2 thru ?? It isn't great but it is a work around until we get further info from Dan.
  12. That did the trick! Thanks, this will cut production time down considerably!
  13. Hi Dan, I'm using the info in this post and it works great except when I use an impo. Is something specific I need to do to get multiple PDF files when using an impo? I can't attached the project I'm working on so I'll email it to you.
