thanks got it with the default rule... thought because i had 3 body pages it would try to count up on each page... guess its been a while for a 3 page ncr with a non static 3rd page. usually we run it as a single page and then have the press print 3 copies uncollated...

i have the same issue but with a slight twist... i have 3 pages (all different, but all get the same number) So i cant use these rules that are already out there... I need the numbering to be 0001 for all 3 pages (body1,2,3) then roll over the 0002... if this makes sense... thanks,

Yes it works, but it outputs the imposition page count on the page instead of the counting each 50 =1 so on pg 50 should output 1 on pg 100 should output 2 so on pg 150 should output 3

Sorry... latest version of FP 9.3.9 Acrobat X attached is the job.. i got the code working on the impose, just not ever 50 imposed page. I would like it to be on the 50th page, so the next page start a new pad. If coding every 1st, 51, 101 etc is easier then that will work too... Tried your way " % 50" and that didnt work, tried "==" to force to the right place and that works but not right. TMC_Produce-PROOF-3.zip

what you posted didnt work... just need it to output a count 1 to X every 50 imposed pages. and can i copy into a blank rule? or does it need to be a callback?

Running a non-variable page booklet. I need to place a barcode and some text every X number of pages. In this case its 50. With the scanner turned on i can turn off double detect and some other features that slow down collating. If it doesn't see the mark on the 50th page it diverts the collation to the end of the line without finishing. if this is a bad explaination lets make it simple. I am making pads in 50's, and i want to print "END_PAD" on the last page of every 50th page. I have tired it with a if or statement but i think I need the function to start page count - since its every 50 imposed pages not 50 records

with some jobs we need our crop marks to overprint so i can fudge the page size to get this to occur, but FP still places it under the imposed image size. I know this doesn't seem logical but when your cutting 18x24 posters its more helpful to have the marks when you trim each side for the next side... thanks,

print shop/mail house needs help with some advance templates in FP 9.2. Hiring for specific FP ticket job which is a repeated job from last year. Template should be 85% complete and just needs updated artwork and database. Job is not time critical but for a legit ticket company/event. Output to PDF is fine setup for digital workflow, We will supply all needed info and data to make this easy job. Additional future work available as needed on a per job request... PM me if you want to see code or want to share some similar templates with us to help with decision making. thanks,

pm ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. I KEEP MY WORD

I think its working now. But you have to set FPI to infinite stack or it wont work if you try to force it. testing a real job.

$20 via paypal whomever supplies a working solution. now is this not so boring topic...

tried it, maybe didnt do it right.. see if you can figure it out, go it to go as far as imposing.. then gave an error but output blank records. like its not turning the pdf into a graphic i set. Then i took out the directory, just just put in the name of the pdf file ("PRINTJOB.pdf") that even let me preview the 1st card, looked correct. and both callbacks validated before running. tried running with infinite stack, but that didnt work, bunch of errors. here are the results and files.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/uwdda8hmsg0gclm/STEP%27S%20CODE%20TEST%20NOT%20WORKING.zip

trying your idea now..

I need a rule, that will let me tell it how many times to reapeate each record, since there is no data. somethign like that...

the only way i can get it to stack is to manully repeat each card 500 times, so it just N-UPs. i need a way JScript to make it repeat each card X # of times. its not my software when i run postcards CUT AND STACK it works fine, its only when i am using it to impose only. i am on skype if you want to msg me "methogod" samples would not upload... now when we have to cut cards we have to use slip sheets, intstead we should be able to cut and stack, i know its something simple. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xzeturhy5qskr9o/SS_TEST.zip

This works to N up but not cut and stack. i have a common job, 5-10 sets of business cards, this time 7 sets that we normally just N up to 21-UP. so when composing i run records 1-21 (when i do this with cut and stack its all wrong). it just does the same as without stack on, but gives me 93 pages of it. If i do it the way it should be done 7x 13 sheets = 273 / 21 = 93 should be the stack number. can anyone help with this? no data, just straight imposing.
