I also have horizontal set to right to left.

Now that I said it, my slipsheets are not working properly when I tested it. I have to check into this. As for the page order. What do you have for your advanced settings in the layout. Mine has stacking set to Face Side Down and Duplexing is flip on long edge.

Have you created an imposition and changed the layout to saddle stitch? That normally works for me. Instead of offset you could add a slipsheet for each record.

No problem, we can all use a little help sometimes. This forum helps a great deal!!

That could be the problem, the USPS has fonts available to download. I believe it is on their RIBBS site.

So when you look at your data is it a string of 65 characters of A,F,T,D?

So when you add the Intellignet Mail Barcode field into the label it should give you a pop up window to edit your properties, including services and Mailer ID. Towards the bottom there is a check box that says output digits. Make sure that is unchecked.

Are you creating the file from the Presort using the label designer or are you exporting from outside the presort??

Simple checkbox in Mail Manager in your label designer. Uncheck the output as digits. I should be clear on this, I am not using the FP rule to generate the IMB, I'm just inserting the field from my data and applyinng the font.

If you output the IMB from Mail Manager as Alpha Characters you can just insert that field into your layout and apply the USPSIMBStandard font.

Many Many thanks gentlemen, you saved my job for now!!!! I attached a screenshot! Test_IMpB_New-Output.pdf

Damn check box for the tagged texts, think that fixed it! No to figure out this table thing!

That is awesome, If I can't get the table to work I am for sure going to do it the way you did it. I can't get the barcode to come out correctly though, it ends up huge. Here are my rules: var s = Field("IMpb Commercial"); return s.replace(/(\d{3})(\d{5})(\d{2})/, '($1)$2($3)'); That rule gets my data to look like this: (420)01001(92)78990109139100000084 I then call the rule into this rule for the barcode: return '<f name = "IDAutomationC128M">' + NormalizeEntities(MakeEAN128Barcode(Rule("Zip Code For Barcode New"))); The barcode ends up not tall enough and way to long. Any advice? Again, thank you both for all your help.

Oh nice, tried the table and that works good except my text ends up underneath my top and bottom solid bars. Here is my code: var table = new FPTable; table.AddColumns(26000); // set width here table.AddRow(3); table.Rows[0].Cells[0].SetBorders("Thick", "Black", "Top", "Thick", "Black", "Bottom" ); table.Rows[1].Cells[0].Content = "USPS TRACKING #"; table.Rows[2].Cells[0].Content = Rule("Human Readable") return table.MakeTags();

Perfect, looks like it worked!!! Dan, Is there a place in any of the manuals that I can find on how to create tables, so I can create the black identification bars. David, can you tell me the font and point size you use for the Priority Mail jobs you do? Again, Thank you both for all your help, saving me life right now or at least my job!!!!

Perfect, thanks for the reply David. Dan could you also help me with this one for adding the parenthesis like you helped me with the spaces in the other thread where David has added them in a rule in Fusion Pro. My data is one long string of 30 characters and need it formatted just as he has it. I apologize, I just don't know how to write JavaScript. Thanks everyone for the help!!

No idea what all the script means, but it worked!! Thank You

So I have a 30 character string and I want to ignore part of it and then add spaces to what is left, for example string: 123456789012345678901234567890 I want to read trimming of the first eight characters: 9012 3456 7890 1234 5678 90 Can anyone help me out with a rule to get this done? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone used Fusion Pro to create the Intelligent Mail Package Barcode. I have attached a PDF of how one would look. This barcode became a requirement as of July 2, 2012. Thanks for the heads up Post Office. So now if I don't have one of these I will be charged an additional $.08 per piece in postage. I mail thousands of these things a month so I need a way to generate it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.IMPB Example.pdf

I would like to see how to do this as well. It looks like the built in rules only allow for using the date as integers.

Going good here so far. Hope things work out for you. E-mail me if you need help with something, I have some time today.

Jeff are you stealing my work!!!!! How is it going over there????

So I have never created a chart in Fusion Pro. I was wondering if there is a better template to use than the chart in the tutorial supplied by Printable? That one shows just one record and to either return the chart or not and I need to create a variable chart for each person in my data file and am having trouble figuring out how to create the rules to accomplish this. Any help would be great, and I am a huge novice in java script. Running FP 5.1p1d with Acrobat 8 on Windows XP.

It seems to be that I'm unable to insert text boxes on pages that are overflow pages. Is that correct? If I move my text boxes to the first page they work fine.

So, I'm using the template you provided and I get the graphics in great. The problem is I want to put and address block and a 2D barcode on the second page, but my text boxes are resulting in nothing. I have 14,000 pdfs and they are all 2 pagers so if there is a different way to pull in the PDFs as two pagers instead of having to seperate them all into two pagers and having a front page and back page rule I can try that. Just not sure why with the current multi-page template I can't get any text boxes to return anything. I am running Windows XP with acrobat 8 and FP desktop version 5.1P1d Thanks
