OK, here is the template I currently use without any inline graphics. So basically if a field is populated with a quantity, it would populate in the table. Was wondering how if possible to incorporate an image with each component as well. I think I could manipulate the data however I would need to. TIATable Template.zip

step, I talked to the powers here about getting your contact information to see if you could help me out on this.

Since I don't see any replies, I am guessing this will not work.

So now I have the same project basically but they want to add a thumbnail image for each row. Is this possible to do in my existing rule using an inline graphic? I was thinking that the header for each would have the name of the image included so that I could still use the current table I have using the External data file. For example: "AC_Apple Computers & Monitors_48 x 8.tiff" as the header. I have uploaded a final product I am trying to get to. So some records would not get all products so I would need to suppress text and image. Kit AA only.pdf

Do you have an actual overflow page built in the template?

In the Text box go into the Paragraph Settings and check suppress if empty checkbox.

Thanks for the help guys. Both ideas seem to work, but run super slow. Strangely enough, it was way quicker to make 1,124 single page PDFs and a data source to call them in. Thanks again for the ideas!

I appreciate the help step. I have run the job after separating the PDF into individual PDFs since it needed to go today. But would like to understand your thought for future use. So would I use the same rules as the template you noted and add the above rule somewhere else? Sorry, not to good with how some of these rules work.

Tried that, I only get my page two of the background once at the end of the composed file instead of after each page one from the multi page PDF.

So basically all I want to do is merge a 1,124 page PDF onto a PDF background. Each page of the 1,124 page PDF would be the first page merged with the background PDF and page two of the template would be a static page. Is there an easy way to do this? I know I could split the 1,124 page PDF into single page PDFs and the create a data source to call in each One page PDF into a graphic box on page one of the template. Was hoping there was a quicker and easier way. TIA

I am guessing there may be a rule that could be made for replacing font globally for digits. I wish I could write it, but seems possible.

Seems that the files it was looking for needed to be in my specific user location. Seems to be working OK now. Thanks

IT recently moved my MAC onto a domain. I am trying to use Fusion Pro for the first time since then. I am getting errors when trying to create a new rule. Warning looks like this. Empty Rule/Library/Application Support/Printable/FusionPro/Plugins/TemplateXML/128BBarcodeRule.XML There are quite a few similar warnings that if I click OK it goes through them all and then the rule dialog box appears but I am missing a bunch of the rule templates. Is there a way to fix this? This happens every time I try to create a new rule. I really didn't want to have to reinstall. TIA

Thanks for the ideas. I will give them a shot.

Figured out a workaround, but if anyone has an idea on how to do the OnRecordStart rule I would like to see it for maybe future use. Thanks

So I am trying to create a way to have a text box turn off and on based on the back graphic. I have the text working correctly with rules and using formatted text but how can I turn the border off for the records where that text box isn't used. Basically, I have an indicia that is in different locations for different backs. Hope that makes sense. TIA Or should I do this a different way and have two unused pages for my backs and use an OnRecordStart rule to pick the back that I want. I just don't know how to write that rule. For example my Graphic resources are named 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf and so on through 10.pdf. I want backs 2.pdf and 3.pdf to have the same back page layout and 5.pdf, 6.pdf, 7.pdf 8.pdf, 9.df, 10.pdf to have the other back layout. My two different fronts are 1.pdf and 4.pdf, but I can easily set a graphic switch for those. So I am thinking maybe have a three page template. Any ideas?

OK, thanks.

Anyway to do this in 7.2????

I have 10 different Fronts and Ten different Backs that are called out in the data so I did them as unused pages. I will try your suggestion. Thanks

Is this possible. I have a variable mailing and I have two different fields. One calling the front art page and one calling the back page art. I create this rule for the front.FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(Field("Front"), true); Is there a way to combine to also have FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(Field("Back"), true); My pages are set as unused. TIA

Just realized I made that dumb mistake!! Thanks for the tip on using the other code, I already made the change in the data. Thanks again

So I am trying to superscript a register symbol that is in my data field. It is the actual symbol and not an ascii code. I tried the following rule but it didn't work. Any ideas?? Do I need to convert the symbol to ascii in the data? var s = Field("Description"); return s.replace(/\$/g,"<superscript>®</superscript>");

You should be able to create a text rule like below and insert it into your text frame with your other variable text. I think I have done this before. return Resource("Image.pdf")

I would just have pages 1 and 2 as blank pages and use graphic switches based on the data to pull the different versions of art. This is not the speedy solution you are looking for, but I can't write JavaScript like some others here. Ste seems to have an idea on how to do it though.

When you define your data you can use the option of "Import a data source from another document". Load the .def file from your template. Then once that is done go to FusionPro on the toolbar go to advanced and import. Select your template PDF. You will now have all your rules, resources, text boxes, etc.
