  1. Thank you so much Scott. I wish I was able to think the code out logically like that. I see it, I know what it is doing, I just can't create it on my own.
  2. Bellow is a rule I pieced together from some other post. It worked for what I needed but I would like to learn how to clean something like this up and make it more efficient. So if you are bored and good at coding some help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, var StrLine1 = (!Field("series_1")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_1") + "<br>"); var StrLine2 = (!Field("series_2")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_2") + "<br>"); var StrLine3 = (!Field("series_3")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_3") + "<br>"); var StrLine4 = (!Field("series_4")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_4") + "<br>"); var StrLine5 = (!Field("series_5")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_5") + "<br>"); var StrLine6 = (!Field("series_6")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_6") + "<br>"); var StrLine7 = (!Field("series_7")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_7") + "<br>"); var StrLine8 = (!Field("series_8")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_8") + "<br>"); var StrLine9 = (!Field("series_9")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_9") + "<br>"); var StrLine10 = (!Field("series_10")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_10") + "<br>"); var StrLine11 = (!Field("series_11")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_11") + "<br>"); var StrLine12 = (!Field("series_12")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_12") + "<br>"); var StrLine13 = (!Field("series_13")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_13") + "<br>"); var StrLine14 = (!Field("series_14")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_14") + "<br>"); var StrLine15 = (!Field("series_15")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_15") + "<br>"); var StrLine16 = (!Field("series_16")) ?" ": Trim(Field("series_16") + "<br>"); return StrLine1 + StrLine2 + StrLine3 + StrLine4 + StrLine5 + StrLine6 + StrLine7 + StrLine8 + StrLine9 + StrLine10 + StrLine11 + StrLine12 + StrLine13 + StrLine14 + StrLine15 + StrLine16;
  3. I am stuck. Found some solutions using an external data file but I can't seem to get it to work. I am thinking I need an array and loop. But my knowledge of that is limited. Basically customer provided a spreadsheet. Column A is a Class Name and the rest of the columns are books needed and quantity of books. Class1 Class1 Class1 Class2 Class2 Class3 Class4 Class4 Class4 Some courses have one item, other can have multiple books. I need the Class number to be a headline for a label and the rest of the information to below that line by line. Thank you for any help you can provide.
  4. Sorry for the delay, I am just now getting back to this. It occurs on all jobs composed as PPML. We are also having a lot of PPML jobs that fail to print on our iGen.
  5. VDP Creator: 9.3.36 Acrobat: 10.1.16 And just a normal PPML. The only option selected is Use Original Graphics.
  6. Hello, This is probably a Windows 10 issues but I thought I would post it in here. After composing a file as a PPML and then I try to close the pdf I get a message: "The document could no be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." This only happens when composing to a PPML. I can compose to PDF files all day long and the message never pops up. Any ideas?
  7. Thanks for the replies. This is happening to old jobs that I have previously created PPML's for as well. It will create a PDF output file just fine. Production is yelling at me because the PDF files take so long to process and print. It is weird since it work great the day I left for vacation. Come back and now I have this problem. Maybe there was a Microsoft update that is causing a problem.
  8. I keep getting this error message when I try to compose a PPML. I just returned from vacation and I am getting this message. Nobody used my computer while I was away. Or so I am told. I have attached images of the error message. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
  9. Hello, I am stuck. I have a pdf with seven different tickets(shows) that I need to output specific quantities of. There are fourteen tables and each table gets eight tickets. I started out using page usage but can't seem to work through through the rest. I created a txt file with the following information Show Tables Seats 1 14 8 2 14 8 3 14 8 4 14 8 5 14 8 6 14 8 7 14 8 The tickets are not individually numbered. They just have the table number. So table one will have eight tickets with "Table No. 1". There are actually six performances for each show but I need to change the date on the ticket so I was going to do that manually. If anyone can nudge me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks in advance!
  10. Hello, I have a project that has thirty different paragraphs which are called based on an input data field. These paragraphs have special character, indents, bullet points, etc. Is there a easier way to link to these files besides creating a text resource for each on? Thanks in advance.
  11. Hello, I recently lost a some of my VDP items so I did the "Reset All" option under palette. Which restored all of my lost items. Anyhow I used to have all of the boxes on a second monitor so they were out of the way. Now when I start VDP they are all on top of my main screen. How can I make it so they default to my second monitor. Thanks in advance for your advice. TKO
  12. Hello, Just curious if I can slant the text? I have a project and the the artist wants the text slanted at 10 degrees. The text box is also rotated to 350 degrees. Thanks in advance! TKO
  13. Finally getting back to this after recently upgrading to FP8. Works great if I don't impose it six up on a page like I need it. Working with the iGen software to impose the sheet there. This has already saved me hours of time though. Thanks again for everyone's help.
  14. Thanks Dan and Thomas, I guess until I can convince the company I need an upgrade my current solution is as follows: I create a text file that has Quantity and Image fields Quantity Image 250 North 750 South 1500 East 500 West I then have an Auto Number rule: return FormatNumber("00000", CurrentRecordNumber())Next I have an OnRecordStart rule: FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = Field("QUANTITY");Then I have a Insert Picture rule which I direct to my images folder searching for PDFs. Finally I have and OnNewOutputFile rule: FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName = Field("Image") + ".pdf";If anyone sees a way I can improve this please let me know. Also I talked to my printer operator about running similar quantities in a single run. My only problem is my Auto Numbering rule continues to count up when I need it to restart at 1 when the next record is called. So for now, until I am using Version 8, I just compose record 1 of 1, then 2 of 2, etc. Drastic improvement upon what I was previously doing. This has me thinking of ways I can improve other projects as well. Thanks again, TKO
  15. Hello, I hope I can write this out in a manner that will be easy to understand. I have certificates that I do each month for one of our clients. Each certificate is numbered differently. Some maybe be 0001-0250, or 0001-0500, 0001-0750. All start at 1 to a certain quantity. Currently I have a data file that is 0001 to 9999 to cover all potential number requirements. To generate the certificates I change my graphic resource to the specific pdf for the one I am working on and then compose the certificate with the numbers needed. I should state all of the certificates are the same size and the number is in the same location. This project was easy when it was one or two, but the past few months I am getting closer to 50 a month. Anticipating this project will continue to grow I need to find a solution that will automate this further. My idea is to somehow have a text file that will have the pdf name, quantity needed, and Output file name. Then have fusion pro compose the certificates. Am I asking for too much? I feel like this should be possible I am just now sure how to do it. Much more advanced from the if,then statements I currently know how to do. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas you can provide. TKO
