  1. Good Morning Everyone, I am having issues with an external database composing records when using FusionPro Server. I am using Mac OS 10.15.7, Adobe Acrobat DC 2021, FusionPro VDP Designer 12.0.2. I have and onjob start rule that pulls in the external database (see below) externalDF = new ExternalDataFileEx('196176_IDM_22NB JAN NEWSLETTER FINAL DATA.txt', '\t'); if(externalDF.valid != true) { Print('Failed to link to the external data file in OnJobStart'); } When I preview on screen, everything looks correct, however when I compose a record or several records, the external database does not print. What am I missing? Thank You, Rob Sheldon
  2. Good Afternoon, Up until recently, when I created a multiple output file, I allowed FusionPro to add the appendix number to the file (i.e., 19214_MARCOM_S01-1). My Production Manager would like to see the record count in the file name (i.e., 19214_MARCOM_S01_records 1-1000, followed by the next set of records 19214_MARCOM_S01_1001-2000 and so on.) How do I achieve this? I am currently running Mac OS 10.15.7, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version2021, FusionPro® VDP Designer 12.0.2. Thank You, Rob
  3. Thanks Dan, The error that pops up when I try to use the font Zapf Dingbat says "Unable to change the elected text to font "Zapf Dingbats". Do you want to insert a variable to change the font instead? Yes or No. I was able to use Wingdings. I composed a few records and when I went to look at the PDF I got a warning about the font Times Roman containing invalid encoding, some characters may not display. Haven't had this before, is it because I am now using FusionPro server?
  4. Any thoughts on the font issue, I also tried Zapf dingbats and that did not work either.
  5. Good Morning, I am running FusionPro 12.0.2 in Acrobat Pro DC on Mac OS 10.13.6. I have loaded my fonts from Suitcase Fusion 6 and loaded them into FusionPro, restarted both Acrobat and FusionPro and the font Monotype Sorts which is a .ttf font does not show in the variable text editor font selection. I also have an issue with the preview selector only allowing 100 records to preview, I have not tried to compose the file which is 13,000 plus records but have a feeling that I will not be able to compose the complete file.
  6. I have added the length rule to my initial rule and everything seems to work. I have reached out to the mailhouse that created the routing number and asked them to remove the check digit. The total mail count is 500k and would like the responsibility of the data to be on the mailhouse.
  7. Normally I use the alpha, which is supplied by my internal Mailing department. In this instance, I am being supplied a list by an outside vendor. The routing number is 12 digits instead of 11 causing the overall field count to be 32, which results in an error, the routing string bad length
  8. Hello, I do not have a reply to this post, just another question concerning the routing number. I am getting a routing number error, the routing number consists of 12 digits. From what I am seeing, there is the Zip, Zip+4, DP and a check digit. What do I need to do to create a usable IMB barcode? I am currently running OS 10.12.6, using arobat 11.0.15 and FusionPro 9.3.15. The rule I am using is: var trackingStr = "00" + Field("SRVTYPEID") + Field("MAILERID") + Field("IMBSEQ"); return EncodeOneCodeBarcode(trackingStr, Field("Z4, ZIP+4/D"), 14); The SRVTYPEID is 271, Mailer ID is 006002, IMBSEQ is 616463872 and the routing number is 12672512581 Thanks in advance, Rob
  9. Thank you David, I had to change the Len portion of the rule but removing the "." and then searching the length works. I have tested on names like A.J., Ed, Al, A., A. Jacqui, etc.
  10. Good Morning, I am using VDP Creator 9.3.15 in Acrobat 11.0.13 on a Mac OS 10.10.5. The problem I am having is creating a rule that searches the first name field for any letter and a . and replaces with the field prefix and field last name. currently I have a rule that is written: { if (Len(Field("FIRST NAME"))<=2) return "Dear "+ToTitleCase(Field("PREFIX"))+"."+" "+Field("LAST NAME")+","; else if (Field("FIRST NAME")!="") return "Dear "+Field("FIRST NAME")+","; else return "Dear "+ToTitleCase(Field("PREFIX"))+"."+" "+Field("LAST NAME")+","; } This works, but if the first name is "Al" or "AC", the rule returns prefix and last, but my client would like the first name
  11. Thanks Dan, This works...sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees. Thanks as always for getting me out of a tough spot.
  12. I apologize, I forgot to mention that I am using a Mac 10.8.5 running Acrobat 10.1.14 with FusionPro 9.1.0
  13. Good Afternoon All, I am trying to create a full service IMB using the font USPSIMBCompact. My original attempt to create this barcode was: var trackingStr = "00" + Field("MAILERID") + Field("SRVTYPEID") + Field("IMBSEQ"); return MakeOneCodeBarcode(trackingStr, Field("Z4, ZIP-4D"), 14); But my result used the font IDAutomationState. I know this is part of the coding in the return MakeOneCodeBarcode. I then tried to format the font by converting to javascript, as seen in the amended code below: var Var1 = "00" + Field("MAILERID") + Field("SRVTYPEID") + Field("IMBSEQ"); var Var2 = "Z4, ZIP-4D"; var Var3 = ""; var v_tracking = "5"; var v_font = "USPSIMBCompact.ttf"; var fontTag = false; var Var4 = ""; if (Var1.length != 20) ReportWarning("The tracking number is not the correct length of 20 characters in record number " + CurrentRecordNumber() + "."); if (Var2 != "") { if ((Field(Var2).length != 0) && (Field(Var2).length != 5) && (Field(Var2).length != 9) && (Field(Var2).length != 11)) ReportWarning("The routing number is not the correct length of 0, 5, 9, or 11 characters in record number " + CurrentRecordNumber() + "."); RoutingNum=Field(Var2); } else RoutingNum=""; return '<tracking newsize="' + v_tracking + '">' + MakeIntelligentMailBarcode(Var1, RoutingNum, Var3, fontTag, v_font, Var4) + "</tracking>"; This code works except the font is 10pt and I need it to be 14pt. I do not see where I can change the font size in the code. Also the font USPSIMBCompact does not preview or compose. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Rob Sheldon
  14. I need to know if we can round up or down based on the decimal for another job now. Can someone please let me know? i.e., $10.02 to $10 or $10.50 to $11.
