Start New Sheet Based On Field

I am creating a pdf file to print address labels. There are 20 labels on a sheet so I have set up an appropriate imposition for that layout.

Now here is what I am hoping to do. I want to force it to start a new sheet based on data in one of the fields.

So for example: It starts creating sheets, gets to record 55 and sees the data indicating to start a new sheet. So there would be 2 full sheets (40) and one sheet with 14 addresses. The rest of the labels on that sheet would be blank and it would start with record 55 on a new sheet and continue imposing sheets until it sees the indicator in the data for a new sheet.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you.

What you are looking to do is referred to as arbitrary chunking. You can search the forums for plenty of examples. I've attached a 20 up sample that you should be able to adapt.

The key components are two things you need to add to OnRecordStart:

FusionPro.Composition.chunksBreakStacks = true;

if (FieldChanged("Group"))
   FusionPro.Composition.StartNewStack();

Where "Group" is whatever field designates a new imposition sheet.

Thank you for the input. Now that I know what to search for I was able to find bits and pieces from several posts that allowed me to get the output I am looking for.

Job is running right now.

Thanks again for the help.
