  1. Posting this issue on behalf of a couple co-workers who have not been able to register on this forum for one reason or another. They are both running the latest Mac OS Sonoma, the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and FusionPro 13.1.3.
  2. No problem Dan, thanks! I tried all the settings you suggested and can confirm that the links do work when I view on the desktop. That includes the PDF file that is output when I collect. However, something is happening when the files are uploaded to Marcom because all the links are still being stripped out. I changed a few settings on the Proof/Press Settings tab (specifically turning on "Support Accessibility") but that didn't fix it. I'm at a loss, not sure what else I can try.
  3. Hi Dan, just wondering if you've had a chance to look over these files. I for whatever reason can't get signed in to the Support site so I haven't been able to send the files to Support.
  4. Yup, local composition in Acrobat. Collected file is attached. _COLLECT.zip
  5. I actually didn't do the Composition step earlier, I just went straight to Collect. However I just now did the Composition step and made sure "Preserve Annotations" was selected as you noted, but the links did not function in the output PDF. Like earlier, if you hover over the areas, the cursor does change but it doesn't do anything when you click.
  6. We have a client that has a download-only, low-res, read-only PDF booklet that includes links that point to pages within the booklet. There's also a couple simple text variables on the inner cover and back cover. The links continue to function after adding the text variables, and they also continue to function on the FusionPro template PDF that's created during collection. Once the template is uploaded and on the store however, the links no longer work on the custom PDF file output by Marcom. Weirdly, the cursor recognizes that there's a link when you hover over it, but clicking it doesn't do anything. Oh, and to clarify, the links are not text links but rather an invisible box. I forget the term offhand but the client creates the booklets and the links in InDesign before outputting the PDF they provide to us. Is there a way either on Marcom or in FusionPro to keep these links functioning properly?
  7. I just noticed that the FusionPro plugin is no longer showing up in Acrobat. I'm not sure if there was a recent update or anything but I am running the latest version of Acrobat. I'm also running InDesign 2022 and 2023 concurrently and FusionPro is still installed in ID 2022. Is there any way to get the plugin working in Acrobat without doing a complete uninstall and reinstall? I'm running MacOS Ventura 13.0.
  8. Thanks for the reply Dan, works perfectly!
  9. Hello all, I'm having a small issue with a rule to output a new file during composition, based on a field. Below is my code: if (FieldChanged("traymark_")) FusionPro.Composition.OpenNewOutputFile("63110_MM_SummerNewsletter2019_ADDRESSED_" + Field("sequence") + "_" + FusionPro.Composition.outputFormatExtension); The traymark_ field uses a double-asterisk to indicate a new tray. The issue is that with the above rule, a new file is output every time there's a change in that field. So for each double-asterisk record, a new file is output, and then another new file is output for those blank records that follow in the traymark_ field, until the next record with a double-asterisk. Basically, I'm getting double the amount of output files than I intend. Ideally, each new file that's output would include the double-asterisk record AND all blank traymark_ records that follow, until the next double-asterisk traymark_ record, which would output a new file. Is there a way to append the code above, or should I be using a different code? Thanks!
  10. Guys, thank you both for the replies. I'm just not having luck duplicating the formatting of the original card and our clients are particular so I don't think this table route will work. So is there a way to set page usage based on the number of active variables in a specific text frame?
  11. Step, thanks for the reply! I was apprehensive at first but I played around with the coding and have it just about setup. The only issue I'm having now is being able to control line height and being able to adjust the width of that border. Setting it to "thick" is too wide but "thin" is too narrow. Is there any way to adjust it (and the line height) numerically?
  12. I'm working on a business card template for a client and I'm stumped... In the above screenshot, I need the blue vertical separator to adjust in height according to the number of active variables within the text box (highlighted in red box). So in other words, if the user doesn't include a cell number, the cell variable and "c" prefix would be hidden, the other numbers would shift down (it's bottom aligned) and the separator would reduce in height to then align with the top-most active variable in the box. I first tried inserting a portion of the separator as an inline image but didn't have success; the images wouldn't overlap to make a smooth line, and the spacing between each line kept increasing. So the only way I can think to achieve my goal is to setup multiple pages with the separator at varying heights and use the OnRecordStart callback to set the page usage. So my question is, is there any way to use the total number of active variables in a text box to set the page usage? There are 4 total variables in the box (Office, Extension, Cell and Fax). If only 2 of those variables are active, can I set the template to return page 2, for example? Or can anybody recommend a better method to achieve what I'm trying to do? Thanks in advance!
  13. So do you have to click the Settings button to enable preprocessing? When I clicked Settings, it was already checked, I never turned the setting off or on. But the files would bloat if I didn't first click the Settings button.
