I can't seem to get the Register symbol in my data to come across correctly on my MAC. I have tried changing the encoding to everything when defining my data. This file works just fine using Fusion Pro on my PC. Any ideas???

Probably need to check your trim box, art box and bleed box in acrobat. Go to crop the pages and see if they are all set to zero.

Can do it either way alpha or numeric

No problem, that is how I always create my mailing data for Fusion Pro.

With the data set up that way you can just drop the field in your text box and apply the font, no rule needed. I think 16 pt is good.

Thanks for taking alook into this Step. I think I will just run it as a 64 page FP template, that works.

Tried everything I can think of on the impo file. Must be something with the repeatRecordNumber that messes up the imposition after the first 8 records.

I do have the fpi file set to 64 in the stack and that works great for 8 reocrds but when it goes to more than 8 it gets messed up. I have attached the impo file5.5X4.25_Repeatable.fpi

Spoke to soon again. Works great for 8 records but if I try 9 in messes the imposition all up again.

OK, I think I got it, was a problem with my stack in the imposition file. Thanks for your help, your rule works correctly for imposition!!! Much appreciated!!

So our rules create a 64 page pdf per record. I want each record to go down the stack. So with an eight record file and an 8-up imposition I would end up with 64 pages with in the imposed PDF with each record taking one of the 8-up spots on the impo. It would be what is considered cut and stack. Each 64 pages would be 8 records and make 8 pads. Does that make sense? I would post the finished product but it is sensitive material. I could email you the final product if you wanted to see and had time to take a look. Thanks again.

Step, thanks, that worked well for the one-up, but the imposition still doesn't come out correct. Your rule at least doesn't give me errors when doing the imposed composition. There must be something I am doing wrong in the imposition file.

Couldn't get the message to upload in the previous post. Here is a portion of it. Also the Template and Def file attached.RepeatableTest_ProofImposed.txt RepeatableTest_FP.def RepeatableTest_FP.pdf

I don't really want to post this art since it is sensitive material. The six page template works correctly without imposing, but when I impose it I get an error for every record and every repeat of the record. Below is the rule I am using for the repeat in on Record Start. The job changed to 30 per pad. FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 30; FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("HeaderFront", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1); FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("HeaderBack", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1); FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("PIFront", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 30); FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("PIBack", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 30); Here is the error I get using the imposition that I don't get when I compose one up: I have tried changing the stack on the imposition file to get it to work with no luck.

I will try collecting tomorrow and posting along with an example of how it should look imposed by doing it with the number of pages and not the repeat rules in the template. Thanks.

Spoke too soon, works great for one-up composition, but using the imposer messed it all up.

I have no idea how that worked, but it did. Thank you!!!

I will give that suggestion a shot. Would a template frame be used here? I have never used a template frame and don't really understand their usage.

So I want to be able to make a two sided ************ pad of say 50 sheets per record in my data. I will need a order identifier sheet on top as well as a **** description sheet on the bottom. So right now I have a 104 page FP template. Pages 1 and 2 are for the identifie, pages 3-102 are my repeat sheets and pages 103 and 104 are the **** description page. The pages are pulled in as PDF's based on the data. My main question is there a way to simplify my template to make the 100 pages 2 pages and duplicate them 50 times somehow? TIA

Perfect, thank you for the quick response.

I know Fusion Pro has a built in rule to add leading zeros, but is there an easy javascript rule I could use to remove leading zeros? TIA

Great idea, now I just have to remember to add that rule instead of remembering to check the box!!

Is there a place to change the preferences on the imposition tab to always have the "Use Black Color for Crop Marks" checked? I always forget to do this and my press operators get on me about it all the time.

That is what I figured, thanks.
