Our digital press sheets are 12x18". I have an 11x8.5" document that is 8-pages. I need to saddle stitch it on the top (11") like a calendar on the 12x18" sheet. When I use FusionPro Imposer and select Saddle Stitched layout, it always says layout does not fit page no matter what I do. I did try to rotate the pages in Acrobat in the template CCW 90 to make the document 8.5x11". During rotation, I received a FusionPro message and tried using Yes and No with the same imposition results. (see Acrobat-Rotate-Pages-FP-Message.jpg) The output was always bad. *The pages overlapped each other in the output. I attached a sample output. (see PRM_brochure_r4-ss.pdf) PRM_brochure_r4-ss.pdf. I had an 11x8.5" 4-page document that imposed the same way and was able to use Single Gate Head-to-Head. (see WhyBrochure-sg-h2h-4pg.pdf) WhyBrochure-sg-h2h-4pg.pdf *This is the correct output format I need. I tried to modify that imposition for 8-pages but the imposition didn't match the pages up correctly. (see SG-H2H-8pg-Impo-Output.pdf for page match-up) SG-H2H-8pg-Impo-Output.pdf. (see PRM_brochure_r3-singlegate8.pdf for composed output) PRM_brochure_r3-singlegate8.pdf I found a previous post http://forums.pti.com/showthread.php?t=4485 with the same issue but I didn't see a resolution. Will someone please help? Is there a way to use Saddle Stitch layout with an 11x8.5" and stitch on top? Is there a way to use Single Gate Head-to-Head for 8-pages and have it match pages correctly? Is there another layout I can use? Since rotating the template pages in Acrobat didn't work, is there a way to do this with a rule so regular saddle stitch impo works? As always, I appreciate everyone's assistance. Thanks, Traba

Adding pages to make output PDF divisible by 4
CCS_Printing posted a topic in FusionPro® VDP Creator
What I need is a bit more complex than the title suggests. There are two separate sections in this book where the client can choose 1 to 5 optional pages. Each new section needs to start on the left, so if an uneven number of pages is chosen a filler page specific to that section will need placed. After that has happened the entire book (which will always be an even number of pages at this point) will need two specific pages placed at then end if it's not divisible by four for saddle stitch. I've poured over the forums and other samples I have, but just can't quite get it working. Here are some helpful posts I referenced: Inserting Multi-page PDF variable graphics Print page depending on even or odd pages I want to make an array for each of the two sections, count those pages and activate an unused body page if the count is odd. I'm using this in an OnRecordStart rule. Here's the code I've been trying to massage, taken and modified from a sample file: var counter = 0; PAGEArray = [Field("FundCare_Orange1"), Field("Dental_Orange2"), Field("FlexSpend_Orange3"), Field("PlansWork_Orange4"), Field("HowToHSA_Orange5"), Field("ClientUpload_Orange")] var PAGECount = 0; for (i = 0 ; i < PAGEArray.length ; i++) { if (PAGEArray[i] != "") { counter++; var Pic = new FusionProResource(PAGEArray[i], "graphic", "true"); var PicPages = Pic.countPages; if (PicPages % 2 > 0) { FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(“Orange_Filler1”, "true"); } } } But that just activates the unused body page anytime the array is true (not empty), and I can't seem to get the countPages aspect to work. When I use Print("PAGECount is " + PAGECount) and view the log, I simply get PAGECount is 0 repeated for each of the fields in the array that's populated. As far as counting the pages of each complete record and activating the two unused body pages at the end based on whether or not it's divisible by four, I was thinking along the same lines but am not sure how to include the pages from the base template in the count, the pages that aren't part of a graphic field. Any help is really appreciated, I always try to research and resolve things on my own as it really helps me learn, but I need some tutelage here and I'm running out of time. Thanks in advance!
