tim lindner Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 In OnRecordStart, is it possible to determine if an imposition is being used (fpi)? I want one single PDF when an imposition is turned off. and... I want to use OnRecordChange() and MakeNewOutputFile() when imposition is turned on.

step Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 If you're composing the job with an imposition applied, the cfg file will contain: UseImpositionDefFile=Yes You can access the values in the cfg file through the JobOptions property at composition time: if (FusionPro.Composition.JobOptions["UseImpositionDefFile"] == 'Yes') { // code to execute when imposing } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim lindner Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Neat. This gives me another idea. I have a VD job that prints on litho shells. But the shells are never ready in time for proofing. So I include the 2 sided shell artwork during proofing. Now, I can use "ImpositionDefFileName" to turn off the first page when I switch to a one sided FPI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreimer Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 You could do it an easier way if I understand correctly. Set the template up with the shell art but in the composition settings under Graphics, you could check the "Suppress Static Background in composition" button.

tim lindner Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 In this particular case it already does involve "Suppress Static background". But I also need to suppress the front side artwork when running the VD. The VD is only on one side. But the client expects two sided proofs.
