[Replacing both pages of a document based on a database field]

Thanks Dan!

 

We did this once before with a letter and I Created a blank PDF with an image box and swapped the background as needed but, that was a single sided document. We are coming from PrintShop Mail so, everything is a different workflow with Fusion. Overall it's going well though.

[Replacing both pages of a document based on a database field]

I have a single mail file with four 2 sided PDF Postcards. I need both sides of the file to change based on a filed in the CSV.

 

If Field = Bel Aire then the Bel Aire.PDF file is used for both sides of the document. How would I do that in Fusion? I've done single sided changes with image swapping but, not a two sided document.

 

Thanks

[Text after & dropping out using force upper]

I have a field that read AT&T both when it previews and is composed we only get AT.

 

We were using the "Force Upper" XML Rule built into Fusion

 

Steps tried

On CSV Import, selecting "Treat Field Values as Tagged Text"

Converted the rule to Java with "Treat Returned Strings as tagged text" box checked. It validates correctly but, the preview in incorrect.

[Outputting a postscript stream of a saddle stitch book]

We do a weekly job that is a saddle stitch book. The books is printed on two different color papers. How many pages are on each color and the page count varies each week.

 

The only variable element is the address box on the front cover.

 

Previously this was printed out of Printshop Mail. All pagination was done in the driver & finished inline pulling from two drawers. The printer is a an older B&W Machine a Konica 1051.

 

I tried outputting as a postscript stream from Fusion. I had the Konica print driver defaults set to the correct settings for this job. When the file arrived at the printer, it printed with none of the settings applied.

 

How can we configure the fusion output correctly. The manual says to use a PPD and I haven't found one for the Konica 1051.

[Can you Select Multiple VI Boxes in Fusion Pro?]

Thank You!

 

I've been trying key combinations and thinking I was missing something. That worked like a charm.

 

Do you know if you can grab two or more VI boxes and move them? Sometimes we have the barcode in a separate box from the address and it would be nice to nudge them at the same time.

[Can you Select Multiple VI Boxes in Fusion Pro?]

Most of our work is post cards & given to us a High Res PDF's. We have a a pretty simple work flow.

 

We Import the Def file from a previous job.

Copy the VI boxes from a previous job

import the new spread sheet.

 

The only sticking point is we have to copy each box separately. I can't for the life of me figure out how to select more than one box and grab it.

 

It's not bad on a post card but, we have a ticket job with 30 VI elements on the page. Previously we did this using PrintShop Mail.

 

Thanks
