  1. Is it possible to have Fusion pro use an external data file that is password protected using basic authentication? In other words can I pass a username and password using ExternalDataFileEx()?
  2. I have a postcard 5.5x8.5. Page 1 is portrait orientation for readability. Page 2 is landscape orientation for readability. I am looking for suggestions to get page 2 to rotate, making both pages the same orientation as Fusion Pro imposer seems limited to force the front and back side of the page the same orientation.
  3. Attached the composed output of the graphic frame. THe frame set to "none" scaling scans perfectly. The "best fit" frame looks cut off and will not scan.ndvbc_flatfile-Output graphic frame.pdf
  4. I'm sorry, I thought I had sent up the collected files on the first post. I reuploaded them: employee bc.zip I have tried scanning the barcode with 3 different apps on my Android GalaxyS6. I have tried on two different iphones each with a different app. So far, the text version of the barcode has been scanned "blank" in all of the apps I have tried and the text rule with the graphic output works. (except the barcode is too large for what I need) employee bc.zip
  5. Frustrated. I have simplified the QRcode for the vcard. I need it to be text in order to size it. The reader scans it and no information is brought over. The contact is blank. Why is it blank??? I am out of ideas. please help! var PointSize = "8"; var info = { N: Field("FullName"), ORG: "company name", TITLE: Field("Title1"), "TEL;WORK;VOICE": Field("Local office"), "TEL;WORK;CELL": Field("Cell"), EMAIL: Field("email"), URL: "website.com", } var result = ["BEGIN:VCARD", "VERSION:2.1"]; for (var label in info) { if (info[label]) result.push(label + ":" + info[label]); } result.push("END:VCARD"); var QR = new QRBarcode; QR.pointSize = Int(PointSize) || 10; return QR.Make(result);
  6. I tried using a graphic frame, scaled to best fit. But the rendering of the code is not legible to my reader. I can see the corner squares cut off. It seems like although a graphic frame can scale a QR code it cuts off the edges. Is there a way to maintain a white margin around it? or inset the graphic frame? I do see how their sample has less data than mine, and I do understand how I may not be able to ever get the code that small with that much data. But i do need to find out how small I can get it and still be legible. Problem is that even if I make the text output of the code (RULE QRcode_Vcard2) as large as the graphic output (RULE QRcode_Vcard2graphic), the text version comes up blank on my reader (no data). Could we look at the code for the text version and see if there is something that is causing the reader to get no data from the produced qrcode? So far the only thing that works is QRcode_Vcard2graphic, and I know of no way reduce the size of the code with that rule. The QR code needs to be dynamically created from the information that is input on the card. How would "encode a URL to a link to vCard file" work if the information does not exist until the card is created? Thank you again for working through this with me. You are a life-saver today. I truly appreciate it!!
  7. I attached the composed FP barcode that is readable to my phone. It contains the data I need to be in the QR code. It is a text rule with a graphic output. It is too large in size. I also attached the customers sample. This code does not display the data the way they want it, however it is the size I need to match. Do not use this code for data. It was created through Indesign I believe. Thank you for looking into this. QR code from FP template.pdf customer sample QR.pdf
  8. I attached collected files. Three QR codes display on page 2. Text rule: QRcode_Vcard2graphic creates a graphic output for the vcard. It tests good on my android and iphone. Problem is I need to make it smaller. So I created text rule: QRcode_Vcard2. I set the point size to 2pt to get the barcode about the size I need it. Problem is my phones scan it and the content is blank. I also tried a graphic rule to size the qrcode to best fit the frame, but the output looks choppy and cut off. The phones cannot read it. So I don't think a graphic is usable. How can I get the barcode to be about 5/8" square in size? I realize the smaller the code, the more difficult it is for readers. However, my customer's sample is this size and it is readable to my phone. employee bc.zip
  9. In this rule, I have a function for the non breaking phrase: //here are the 2 functions function NoBreak(s) { return NormalizeEntities(s).replace(/ /g, " "); } var NoBreakPhrases = [ "Very Happy New Year", "Happy New Year", "Holiday Season", "New Year", // add as many as you like ]; function SetNoBreakPhrases(str) { for (var p in NoBreakPhrases) { var re = new RegExp("(" + NoBreakPhrases[p] + ")", "gi") str = str.replace(re, function(w){return NoBreak(w);}); } return str; } var myPointSize = Left(Field("mainfontsize"), 2); //grabs the leftmost 2 digits from the field to get the point size var myFontFace = Field("MainFontFace"); var myFontColor = Field("MainFontColor"); if (Field("ChooseMainGreeting") == "Custom Greeting") { return greeting = '<z newsize="'+myPointSize+'"><f Name="'+myFontFace+'"><color Name="'+myFontColor+'">'+ Field("CustomGreeting"); } else if (Field("ChooseMainGreeting") == "No Greeting") { return ""; } else return '<z newsize="'+myPointSize+'"><f Name="'+myFontFace+'"><color Name="'+myFontColor+'">'+SetNoBreakPhrases(Field("ChooseMainGreeting")); It correctly validates as: <z newsize="14"><f Name="Scala"><color Name="Black">Wishing You All the Joys of the Season and a Very Happy New Year Problem is the spacing between words in the phrase increases to larger than it should be. Example attached showing the difference in spacing without the non-breaking phrase function and using the function. What is causing the increase in spacing? non-breaking phrase.pdf
  10. The input data is being generated by Marcom Central. The user is entering their information into the field as I try to show on attached screen shot. I attached the FP file and my sample data. I do not know a way to test multi-line fields within Fusion Pro. I am using RULE_insertBenefitBullet to create an array based on the line breaks, but marcom central is not recognizing the '<br>'. We have uploaded the files using other regular expressions with \r and \n trying to get the delimiter. None have been successful yet. I do not know what delimiter to look for in the multi-line field. Your help is much appreciated, Dan. FP files.zip
  11. I need to split a multi-line text field into an array based on the line break as the delimiter. I have tried: var data = Field("BenefitsList"); var eachLine = data.split(/\n/g); and other regular expressions to no avail. Does anyone know how to split on a line break in a multi-line text field?
  12. I am looking to do similar task: split a multi-line text field into an array based on the line break as the delimiter.

  13. Thank you Tom. I have not looked at this in a while, so I am sure your work on this will be very helpful.
  14. Thank you. I found that thread earlier and I think it will work for what I need.
  15. I have variable data on 2 pages and I want the 2 pages to impose on single sheet as shown on attached layout. Each record will print the 2 pages on a single press sheet. I cannot figure out how to get FP imposer to do this. Please help.sample impo output.pdf sample pages single.pdf
  16. Customer wants an image behind the QR code. Best I could figure out is to create a image at 10% opacity and place it on top of the generated QR code (attached sample: skytronflatfile-Output.pdf). When I put the image underneath the QR code, it is covered by a white background. Do you have any suggestions about how to handle a QR with a static image underneath. skytronflatfile-Output.pdf
  17. Is there a way to create a table with an image placed in the background? If so, can the image be sized to best fit the table dimensions? This table can have a variable amount of text, hence the height of the table can change. I tried this code below, using the ShadeContent attribute to place an inline graphic. The resulting table had a black background, the image did not appear. What is the correct code to make the background image appear? var table1 = new FPTable; table1.AddColumns(23000); { table1.AddRows(1); table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Margins = new FPTableMargins; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].HStraddle = 0; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Margins.Top=150; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Margins.Bottom=150; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Margins.Left=200; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Margins.Right=200; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].ShadeColor = '<graphic file=bboxPict.jpg>'; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].ShadePct = 100; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Content = bbox; table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].TextColor="White"; } return table1.MakeTags();
  18. Any recent JLYT files from Fusion Pro have failed on our Production Pro Rip. Product version 4.625 I-fix4 Build I9 System Manager Version 2.1.74 JLYT from HP SmartStream software process fine. Your feedback is very helpful. I am thinking there is a font issue on our Production Pro. Fonts not loaded or recognized by production pro (such as Arial in the test files) are causing the job to fail. Your test proves that our JLYT file from Fusion Pro works and therefore this should not be a fusion pro issue. We did another test, and found changing the font to courier or helvetica in the test file, and writing another JLYT. The file successfully processes through our ProdPro. My next step is to contact HP support. Thank you.
  19. The expected result is a processed JLYT file in production pro- ready to print. The actual result is an 'error' in production pro - resulting in no file to print. Can HP Production Pro process JLYT files from Fusion Pro? If so, what is wrong with mine?
  20. The Production does not seem to give specific errors. It was a router error originally. We rebooted it, and resent and attached the resulting message. We have tried other JLT files and those also fail to process. I cannot tell you the specific error. It could have been something vague like "failed to import". I am trying to discover if there is something about the JLYT from Fusion Pro that causes an error. Maybe others have experienced similar issue. I also attached the file we are trying to process. It is a simple test file. Not a real job. Three Names Test.pdf prod pro Jlt error.pdf 3Names-Output.jlt.zip
  21. We are writing JLYT format on variable jobs with Fusion Pro Creator 9.2.31. We send to hotfolder for a HP Indigo PRoduction Pro Server / Indigo 7500 press. The JLYT files fail at the server. We write PPML files from Fusion pro, and those process through Producution Pro without error. I am wanting to try JLYT because we have noticed the press slower vrs faster with JLYT files from SmartStream (which process through the server without error) vrs PPML from Fusion Pro. The JLYT files fail at the server. Does anyone else experience this or know why?
