    Suppress if empty doesn't work nor does suppress if empty variable

    tried it as CODE but that rule wants to consider TABS <t> as NON EMPTY...

     

    whats an easy solution?

     

    STACK and CUT not overflowing to 2nd page.

    That did it...

     

    Do i still need to define number of card/sets?

     

    FusionPro.Composition.composeAllRecords = false;
FusionPro.Composition.endRecordNumber = 20; // Number of sets of cards

     

     

    One more question...

     

    instead of using a combined file (binder1.pdf)

    var card = CreateResource("Binder1.pdf", "graphic", true);

     

    is there a way to say

     

    Pull All PDF's files from a folder or the local directory instead of manually making a binder.pdf (ie. C:/TEST/)

     

    and have it repeat each record based on the leading numbers in the name of the file...

     

    This is what i get each time i get this order...

     

    http://forums.pti.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1910&stc=1&d=1541025518

     

    If we rename the files so each started with ***-

    where *** was the number of times it will repeat...

     

    Trying to automate this as much as possible...

    I know this is outside the norm, thanks for all your help so far.:D

     

     

    thanks,

    OK lets try this again, need help in two places...

    1st - how do i define the BACK/BODY2. How would i change this to output correctly.

     

    This outputs a cut/stack only...

     

     

    On Job Start

    FusionPro.Composition.composeAllRecords = false;
FusionPro.Composition.endRecordNumber = 40; // Number of cards you have

     

    On record start:

    FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 4; // Quantity of each card

     

    var card = CreateResource("Binder1.pdf",'graphic',true);

    card.countpages;

    card.pagenumber = FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber;

     

    FindGraphicFrame("RAND").SetGraphic(card);

    Idea is to drop in multiple PDF files in a local folder (all pdfs are FRONT AND BACKS - all static), and have them print in a cut/stack order. Pulling Number of times to repeat from the rules.

     

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ayt765s1yvbezhu/8sets101218Final.pdf?dl=0

     

    This is how we use it currently, see files in drop box above.

     

    But the new setup is for a two page PDF (2 body pages), vs a single body page above.

    Pull image from URL painfully Slow...

    Any way to speed up imposing? I can obtain the images to store locally, but they still seems to be taking a long time. Wonder if my rules are delaying the imposition speed... if that makes any sense?

     

    i am open to suggestions... if i can do more in excel before fusion i will. Just need some direction. Never done anything this extensive before....

     

    beers, weed (if legal), or dinner who ever gives me a real solution...

     

     

    thanks,

    So have a client on the hook, around 50,000 postcards a month-- double sided variable text. Simple stuff happy birthday, QR code, coupon exp date, etc.

     

    Each grouping will be 400-2500 records to one LAYOUT.

     

    is there a way i can set each job as a call back, and run them STACKED.

     

    So we mark the data to the key code - so

    Version1 matches to data1 and so on (Variable placement will be different from Version 1 to Version X but the fields will all be the same data file).

    Looking to call the layouts (both static and variable based on the KEYCODE in the data file - thus getting me the best postage rates as well as making this easy to produce)

     

    f i can automate this over running 85 smaller jobs. Easier to keep track of 1 output file, then 85 output files.

    Simple rule to check input

    Need an expression that will check if $inputrecord or number is a multiple of 50.

    if true then return "BookNumberCount" (which should go up for each booklet)

    Trying to do this without using stacks.

     

    So every 50 ouputsheets/records, i want to print BOOK# on each top sheet... already have background templates setup. My java is not strong.

     

    new to all this thanks for help...

     

    var certainNumber = 50;
if ("$inputrecordnumber" % "certainNumber" === 0) {
   // directWinner is a multiple of certainNumber
}
then return "«$inputrecordnumber»" ***OR the correct name for OUTPUT COMPOSED SHEET****

    Maybe I am over thinking this...

    Simple NCR. 2UP (stacked and numbered).

     

    Normally i would just print each output page 2 or 3 times depending on the NCR. But this job is color pg1, B&W pg2.

     

    My digital press will adjust if black detection is on, but I never had to output 2 pages of each.

     

    will a rule, repeat each page and record, or do i need to start with 2 pages in my original pdf.

    Cut & Stack Without a Data Source

    last try here, i am out of time, need to print tomorrow....

     

     

    here is the latest version. Tried all the variation i can think of, funny how singled sided is so easy and worked right away, but making it 2 sided is more difficult...

     

    Zip attached has all working files, PDF with template setup, "preview" works, and it uses the FPI correctly just seems to be missing the important question

     

    "how many times do you want to repeat each card (FRONT AND BACK)"

     

    Again the goal is to stack, so its faster to cut and box, then just Nup and having to separate tons of small piles....

     

    Guess its time for a bounty... Working Solution gets LUNCH (well $20 gift card or paypal)...
