  1. We make extensive use of Template pages for Repeatable Elements and we get the expected results. However, when a Repeatable Element is used on an Overflow page we get 'internal page management' errors. See the example attached. It is the collected FusionPro .zip. If only record #1 is composed, the output is successful because there are 50 or less external data references to list. Record 2 fails when the Overflow page is triggered in order to list more than 50 external data references. If the Repeatable Element is removed then all records compose. Has anyone encountered this? Do you have a workaround? Thanks for you help overflow and template pg - FP12.zip
  2. Issue 2 resolved: In the Advanced Tab uncheck box 'Limit Processing to Latin-1 text'. This will allow the < > tag to be recognized. Issue 1: Still need answer on why Type1 fonts are not showing in the font drop-down list in the Variable Text Editor.
  3. I recently upgraded from Window 7 using FusionPro 10.0.26 to Windows 10. Two issues appeared: 1. While I can install Type1 fonts on Windows 10, they do not appear as available in the FusionPro drop-down in the Variable Text Editor. 2. See attached: I converted Helevetica Condensed Type1 font using 'TransType4' to a TrueType version. In FusionPro I created a rule to replace spaces with non-breaking spaces (< >). The tagged texted is not recognized while using Helvetica Condensed but does work properly while using Arial. non-breaking space.zip
  4. If you use PitStop as your PDF editor you can use the 'Inspector' tool. Select the image(s) --->Fill and Stroke ---> Transparency. Set Blending to 'Multiply'. You can also set the 'transparency' value. Of course, in FusionPro, the graphic frame containing the PDF with transparency has to be layered above the elements that you want to 'Multiply' over.
  5. My apologies... here are the CORRECT pdf and txt113367_Mar Dazzling Deals 2-PM-MP-DD-FASHION-SUM11-FONT TESTING.txt 113367_Mar Dazzling Deals 2-PM-MP-DD-FASHION-SUM11-FONT TESTING.txt.pdf
  6. We have a project to produce pricing tags. There is always one row but there can be up to 4 columns of prices. Copyfitting needs to happen such that when one price is really long ($11,999.99) all the other prices on that tag need to copyfit to the same point size. Also, the static text "SET" or "EACH" may also appear to the right of the price (in a smaller font size) if their fields are populated. There can also be two additional lines that fall directly beneath the price - Original Price and/or Carat Weight. These two line also copyfit but can get no smaller than 4 pts. Also, for Canadian pricing an additional cell/column needs to be added to that price to contain a maple leaf graphic (attached). The maple leaf always remains the same size, when used. We set this up initially as text boxes and graphic boxes(for maple leaf) but cannot control the copyfitting and the position of the maple leaf (the maple leaf is floating too far to the left of the price - see the attached sample of the 2 price layout). A table layout would be a much better option where you can measure the cell content to generate the cell width keeping the maple leaf tucked up against its price. The real challenge is the copyfitting... is it possible to produce a table that will also incorporate the copyfitting described above? The attached PDF shows what our template is currently producing. But we need the pricing to copyfit to the same size for all prices and the maple leaf needs to be just to the left of its price. Sample data also attached. 113367_Mar Dazzling Deals 2-PM-MP-DD-FASHION-SUM11-DATA-009_x.txt.pdf 113367_Mar Dazzling Deals 2-PM-MP-DD-FASHION-SUM11-DATA-009_x.txt MapleLeaf_BLACK.pdf
  7. Thank you for the helpful info. It's just what I needed!
  8. I have a template with multiple COLORS in use. The client now wants to change the color scheme based on various events. Can I dynamically redefine a FusionPro template COLOR? My thought is to use an External Data file that allows me to define Color1, Color2, Color3, etc...
  9. Can someone please offer assistance? Out client is requesting a Table listing 6 Providers. The table must always show the 3 closest INDEPENDENT Providers. The other 3 positions must pull in the 3 closest of BRAND_A, BRAND_B or BRAND_C. It is not necessary to list the INDEPENDENT first - all 6 get listed in there closest to farthest sequence. I started with THIS forum Post from bkurzbuch and Dan Korn: I have attached an example. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. LatLong - versioned.zip
  10. Thank you, Dan! This Forum is part of what makes PTI such a great product!
  11. Dan, I really appreciate your detailed explanation. Your code is indicating that it is no longer necessary to define a delimiter, is that true? This is what the Building Blocks/Objects is asking for: new ExternalDataFileEx(Filename [,Delimiter OR Type] [,encoding OR Excel sheet])
  12. If you use PitStop as your PDF editor you can use the 'Inspector' tool. Select the image(s) --->Fill and Stroke ---> Transparency. Set Blending to 'Multiply'.

  13. Thank you, Dan. I did end up doing as you suggested. Because of QC checks performed by our data department it isn't 'appreciated' if we have to alter the data that is passed to me. I do alter if necessary, as in this case. However, it would be good to have a FusionPro function that would do this internally. Thanks again... this forum is awesome for finding ways to get the job done!!
  14. Is it possible to 'Trim' the headers of an External Data file? I have multiple external data files and all have inconsistent headers. Some headers have trailing spaces while other headers do not have trailing spaces. See highlighted (RED) text below where I attempted to use 'SetFieldValue' to replace the field content. But apparently this will only allow you to replace field values and not header values. inFile = PrimaryInputFile() // ---------------------------- // -------- XDF1 -------- // ---------------------------- if (inFile.search("SEG1")>-1) { xdf1 = "_SEG1_STANDARD_REV.csv"; } if (inFile.search("SEG2")>-1) { xdf1 = "_SEG2_MATINEE_REV.csv"; } if (inFile.search("SEG3")>-1) { xdf1 = "_SEG3_UPGRADE_REV.csv"; } if (inFile.search("SEG4")>-1) { xdf1 = "_SEG4_T1-T2_REV.csv"; } [color="Red"]if (xdf1 != ""){ xdf1 = new ExternalDataFileEx(xdf1, ",") xdf.ignoreNumericFieldNames=true for (var i=0; i<xdf1.fieldCount; i++) { xdf1.SetFieldValue(0, i, Trim(xdf1.GetFieldValue(0, i))) } }[/color]
  15. What is the proper tag for assigning a Title to a table?
