  1. (Originally from user Dsweet) It also works on my computer (desktop version only), but not on our server via a command line. That's my problem -- I don't want to process 100,000 or more records at a time using my desktop alone. This small process took about 15 seconds to do 26 records. Image how long it would take to do the full 100,000! That would be over 16 hours to do this on my desktop - assuming a constant process speed and that the actual pdf files won't be any bigger than the sample files of 140k. A full day of time that I lost since I can't use the FusionPro server version for this. I'm assuming that it would compose faster on server, as well as the facts that being on server we could automate the process and it wouldn't tie up my computer and time for the full day. I'm beginning to wonder why we purchased the server version at all if it doesn't function in the same manner as the desktop version does. It seems that we might have done just as good to purchase several standalone software packages and just linked them to several computers to do the processing.
  2. There has to be something about the path you are defining. I took the job and changed the output path to C:\Temp\Output (since that exists on my computer) and it worked. I made no other changes (including to the filename - just the path). JavaScript is case-sensitive - is the capitalization of the actual directory name the same as it is on the server? http://forums.printable.com/picture.php?albumid=1&pictureid=6
  3. (Originally from user Dsweet) Here is the collected template and the folder structure, resources and other files that are necessary. Thank you for taking a look.
  4. Can you collect the files (except the fonts) into a ZIP file and attach them here? I'll take a look.

  6. David, in Acrobat, go to FusionPro > Compose... In the Composition Settings dialog, under the Advanced tab, do you have anything set for "Abort on errors..."? Thanks
  7. (Originally from user Dsweet) Hello, Did a quick search for OnNewOutputFile and only got this thread as a response. I will be having a recurring project that will be fed nearly 100,000 or so records at a time and the desire is to create separate output pdf files for each record based on unique field entries in the data file. I thought that this would be tailor-made for this callback rule. However I have one major glitch in the process. The rule works on my desktop version, but not on the server? Both Acrobat and FusionPro are the same version (Acrobat 8.1.2 - FusionPro 4.2P1d) with the only difference being I'm working on Widows XP Pro and the server is Windows 2000 (sp4 installed). I've tried both the full pathname and the basic output file version of this callback rule and get the same results with each. This is the coding for the two versions of the rule that I used... basic... FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName = Field("jobID") + "_testFile_" + Field("Market Code") + ".pdf"; full pathname... FusionPro.Composition.outputFileFullPathName = "D:\\fusionProJobs\\testBatch\\" + Field("jobID") + "_testFile_" + Field("Market Code") + ".pdf"; I've put report message lines at the entrance and exit of the rule to help track the composition. I've also made certain that the path is acurate for both systems. I had my computer drives remapped to match the drive letters for the servers that we use. I've also tried the unc path name thinking that it still might be possible that a location error might occur. Still the same result. When I compose the template on my desktop, the message file contains the following... Job started 13:48:56 - 1223920136. OnNewOutputFile, line 1: Entered OnNewOutputFile OnNewOutputFile, line 3: Exited OnNewOutputFile Begun composing record #1 OnNewOutputFile, line 1: Entered OnNewOutputFile OnNewOutputFile, line 3: Exited OnNewOutputFile Begun composing record #2 OnNewOutputFile, line 1: Entered OnNewOutputFile OnNewOutputFile, line 3: Exited OnNewOutputFile Begun composing record #3 OnNewOutputFile, line 1: Entered OnNewOutputFile OnNewOutputFile, line 3: Exited OnNewOutputFile Begun composing record #4 OnNewOutputFile, line 1: Entered OnNewOutputFile OnNewOutputFile, line 3: Exited OnNewOutputFile ...and so on through to the end of the data file - just as I would expect. However the same file that is created on server contains... Job started 13:52:44 - 1223920364. ... and that's it! The only message that I do get is in the command window when I envoke FusionPro and it states... Composing Document... Reading input Reading input Reading input ***** FusionPro has encountered a fatal error and must abort. If the problem persists, please call Printable Technical Support. ***** It appears that FusionPro doesn't even get to the callback rule at all or the entrance message would have been contained in the file. I've gone this route last year with Printable Technical Support, and even sent them files to work on. I'm still waiting to hear back from them. I just wondered if anyone can see a problem in my coding, or if someone else has had this situation and figured a solution to it. I REALLY don't want to have to do this project via a desktop composition. This is why we bought the server version for in the first place. __________________ David A.

  8. Craig, does that mean I should not turn on the "Annoying OOO Message" functionality?
  9. Hi Marcus, Thanks for the thoughts. We've set the forum so that, by default, you are subscribed to any thread that you start or reply to. Instead of having to check the forum on a regular basis (which we would love to have you do but we also know you need to get work done), you will receive an email saying that someone has replied. Additionally, but not yet installed, is a plug in that will allow you to subscribe to specific discussion forums (areas). This way, if you subscribe to the Web to Print forum, for example, you can be notified whenever a new thread is started, regardless of whether or not you have participated in that thread. Since this forum is in its infancy, we are still looking at additional functionality, so please keep the ideas coming.
  10. Thanks so much for the positive feedback, especially when the community is in its infancy. We're planning some more features to make this even easier to use and follow! If you are one of our web to print users (a Manager and Dashboard customer), then the W2P (web to print, get it?) is the forum for you. Since it is available only to our FusionPro Web customers, you need to request to join. To request membership, go to "My Settings" and, under the Networking section in the left hand menu, select "Group Memberships". Thanks again and keep watching.
  11. If you compose a job and, for some reason, your fonts are not appearing, make sure you run the Load Fonts utility from the FusionPro menu. This needs to be done whenever you add new fonts or activate fonts through a font manager program. http://www.domaschuk.com/printable/LoadFonts.jpg

  13. This sample job shows how multiple variable PDF graphic files, each of an unknown page-count, can be inserted into a FusionPro template as inline graphics into a text frame. This sample includes all sample files and heavily commented JavaScript that shows how this logic is created. To accomodate the varying and unknown page count as well as number of PDF graphics to be inserted in each record, the advanced "Automatic Page Insertion" option in FusionPro is used. This option, also called "Page Overflow" is a function of a variable text frame. Designed initially to accomodate varying text content length, the functionality also allows for multiple graphic file insertions and is a great solution when each data record requires an unknown and possibly extremely variable set of variable graphics. Pay special attention to the variable frame settings especially the size of the frames and the settings in the "Paragraph" dialogue (inside of the variable text editor). Insert.zip
  14. // This rule allows you to apply a color to a variable. // There are three methods of specifying a color – using the color's name from the color dictionary, using the RGB value, using the CMYK value. // Both the RGB and CMYK declarations use the Hexadecimal values. // In the code, all three methods are listed. Simply remoev the methods you don't want and apply the correct value. // For example, to apply "blue", <color name = "Blue">, <color RGB = "0000FF">, or <color CMYK = "FFE61900"> // The final line resets the color back to "black" if (Field("fax") == "") return ""; else return "Fax: "+ "<color name = \"Blue\"> <color RGB = \"0000FF\"> <color CMYK = \"FFE61900\">" + Field("fax") + "<color name= \"Black\">";
