Multiple PDF's with variable text boxes on different pages

[ricky10ss]

Sorry Step I am definitely confused. Sorry.
So I should I still use this code for the onRecordStart ?

var [ver, state] = Field("version").split(' ');
var pdf = CreateResource('/path/to' + Field("version") + '.pdf', 'graphic', true);
var pages = pdf.countPages;
var form = 20;

switch(state) {
  case 'CO': form = 21; break;
  case 'LA': form = 24; break;
  case 'NC': form = 26; break;
  case 'NV': form = 23; break;
  case 'SD': form = 22; break;
}

FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = pages;
var isForm = FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == form;
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage('page', !isForm);
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage('form', isForm);

Or this one as the OnRecordStart?

var state = Field("State");
var pdf = '/path/to/LN-3001';
var form = 20;
switch(state) {
  case 'CO': form = 21; break;
  case 'LA': form = 24; break;
  case 'NC': form = 26; break;
  case 'NV': form = 23; break;
  case 'SD': form = 22; break;
}
if (form > 20)
  pdf += ' ' + state;
pdf = CreateResource(pdf + '.pdf', 'graphic', true);

Do all the "form" and "page" pages get the same graphic variable assigned to them? I used this below. Right now only the first page comes in when I compose.

if (Field("State") == "CO") {
  var pdf = "LN-3001 CO.pdf";
}
else if (Field("State") == "LA") {
  var pdf = "LN-3001 LA.pdf";
}
else if (Field("State") == "NC") {
  var pdf = "LN-3001 NC.pdf";
}
else if (Field("State") == "NV") {
  var pdf = "LN-3001 NV.pdf";
}
else if (Field("State") == "SD") {
  var pdf = "LN-3001 SD.pdf";
}
// ...
else {
  var pdf = "LN-3001.pdf";
}
var pdf = CreateResource('G:\\BTS\\Variable Elements\\LifeShield STM UltraCare\\' + pdf );
pdf.pagenumber = FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber;
return pdf;

Yes, you should have the same graphic variable assigned to the graphic frame on every page. You should only have 1 "page" body page. In addition to that, you should have the following body pages (all set to "unused"):

• form
• form-CO
• form-LA
• form-NC
• form-NV
• form-SD

Each of those "form*" body pages should have the variable frames required by that version's form in the positions required by that version's form.

Your OnRecordStart should have this (and only this) in it:

var state = Field("State");
var file = 'LN-3001';
var form = 20;
switch(state) {
  case 'CO': form = 21; break;
  case 'LA': form = 24; break;
  case 'NC': form = 26; break;
  case 'NV': form = 23; break;
  case 'SD': form = 22; break;
}
if (form > 20) file += ' ' + state;
pdf = CreateResource('G:\\BTS\\Variable Elements\\LifeShield STM UltraCare\\' + file + '.pdf', 'graphic', true);
var pages = pdf.countPages;
FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = pages;
var isForm = FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == form;
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage('page', !isForm);
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(['form', file.split(' ')[1]].filter(Boolean).join('-'), isForm);

You can name the graphic rule whatever you want to but in an effort to minimize the room for error, name it "background" and paste this into it:

pdf.pagenumber = FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber;
return pdf;

Apply the "background" rule to every graphic frame in the template – there should be seven in total.
