Copyfit Paragraph?

I have a text frame that contains multiple fields, one of which contains a text area which will accomodate a maximum of 8 lines of text.

 

Only the text area needs to copyfit (horizontal scale only).

 

I tried using CopyfitLine and multiplying the width of the text frame by the max number of lines of text.

 

Here is the CopyfitLine rule I applied. Frame width is 216 (times 8 lines=1728)

return CopyfitLine("", Field("Paragraph1"), "Arial", 10, 1728, 4, true);

 

Works like a dream in Acrobat but fails in the MarcomCentral template

 

Any ideas as to why this failed in MCC and what I need to do to correct it? Thanks in advance.

 

Not sure where to post this, since it is ultimately a MCC issue, but deals with text formatting, so I'll start here...

If the field value is coming from a web form in MarcomCentral, it's probably adding markup tagging. If you dump out the field value from a rule without "Treat returned strings as tagged text" checked, you should be able to see the tags.

Hi Dan, thanks, but removing the checkmark from "treat returned strings as tagged text" did not result in copyfitting the paragraph. Instead, the tags displayed within the previewed text.

 

I moved the post from "The JavaScript Library > Formatting Text" to "MarcomCentral > Manager Specific Discussion"
