Hadrian Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 What are the largest lengths that FusionPro will compose or allow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin1676454018 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 FusionPro doesn't actually have a limit. If your system can handle it, so can we. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrian Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 FusionPro: 5.1p2b OS: Mac PowerPc Are you certain of that? I am trying to do a 30w x75h and it will not preview or compose with the converted EPS. If I make the template 75w x 30h, it actually works thus i assume that FusionPro actually does have a height limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin1676454018 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The limitation isn't with FusionPro but, possibly, with Acrobat. I'll run some tests here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin1676454018 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yup - I just ran a composition of a 30" wide by 75" high template without issue. UPDATE: I just re-ran it and had some missing text. I'm investigating now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin1676454018 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I owe you an apology! There is a maximum height of 45.4" in FusionPro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrian Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Boo. You are indeed a crusher of souls.......Does Printable publish or make known this limitation at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 There is a limitation on page height of template (background) PDF pages of about 45.5 inches, or 3.79 feet. (This is 327680 in hundredths of points in the DIF file, or 32768 in tenths of points, i.e. the maximum value for a signed 16-bit integer.) Above that, FusionPro will output a page with the correct size, but the contents will be blank. That said, I'll reiterate my recommendation on scaling up wide-format output from here: Also, please note that just because your output is going to be printed on a wide format printer as a giant yard sign doesn't mean that your output file has to have pages that are several feet wide. You should be able to scale up a smaller graphic on the press. As Alex alluded to, fonts are vector art anyway, so there's no benefit to outputting massive point sizes. (Plus, there is a limit to how large the point size can be in FusionPro. It's a lot bigger than 260 points, but there's no need to tempt fate.) Furthermore, graphics for a yard sign or a billboard probably aren't designed to look terribly sharp from close distance, so scaling them up in the output isn't going to gain you much anyway. Therefore I would consider trying to output a smaller file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
