How could I adjust the 2nd example you provided to change point sizes independently? The client is OK with the size of the Trademark and Register using the default global settings but would like the asterisk to be smaller. TIA

OK thanks for the explanation. Thanks again!!

Perfect, thanks step. I will use the second one since I can understand how that is written and can make changes if necessary.

How can I write a rule to superscript multiple characters in one variable field? Currently I have this to superscript a Trademark symbol. var s = Field("Description New 1"); return s.replace(/™/g,"<superscript>™</superscript>"); How can I have a single rule to also include Register and Asterisks as well. I tried to simple do this: var s = Field("Description New 1"); return s.replace(/™/g,"<superscript>™</superscript>"); return s.replace(/®/g,"<superscript>®</superscript>"); return s.replace(/*/g,"<superscript>*</superscript>"); But that obviously doesn't work. It only looks at the first Trademark return statement. Sorry if this is really easy, but still learning JavaScript. TIA

Works great, thanks guys!

step, curious how you could write that rule using a variable field. Say my field contained something like $123.45. Is there a way to globally superscript the dollar sign as well as any decimal value using a Right Trim of 2 on my data field? Trying to figure out how to rewrite the return line since right now all it does is superscript the dollar sign. Just messing with it if I ever need it. I would just use the global setting for size and offset. var s = Field("Price"); var c = Right(Field("Price"),2) return s.replace(/\$/g,"<superscript>$</superscript>");

Kind of figured that. I think I have a decent enough workaround by configuring the data a little differently upfront. I will just use the imposed file as my new FP template and impose that one with additional text boxes. Won't need the code you gave me previously, but I will for sure use that code for other things. Thanks again!

OK, those both work perfectly. Onto the next problem I need to figure out! This one may not work. Is there a way to also pull from the data the description (it is in a data field in my source data) for the first and last page that goes onto each imposed sheet? So for example, can I pull from a data field the description for record 1 and 70 and populate that on my template page to the imposed sheet 1, then pull data from the same field for records 71 and 140 to go on imposed sheet 2? I don't think this would be possible but you never know? Thank you for your patience!

I apologize for being real dumb here but I can't get the $impositionsheetnumber and $impositiontotalsheets variables to work in a text box. I tried adding the << and >> but it looks at it as literal text. I also tried using the a javascript rule using FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetNumber and FusionPro.Composition.impositionTotalSheets but not sure how to get the syntax to work.

Sorry for the confusion. I have the code I posted in a text box on the template page. I was trying to get page numbers of the imposed sheets. My data has 398 records. The art fits 70 up on an imposed sheets. So records 1-70 are on imposed sheet 1 and I want that to say Page 1 of 6. Records 71-140 are on imposed sheet 2 and I want that to say Page 2 of 6, and so on. Does that make sense? Can it be done? I don't see the variable $impositionsheetnumber anywhere?

OK so I have the basics figured out for the slug on the background page. I am trying to get "Page 1 of 6", "Page 2 of 6", etc on the imposed PDF using [center]Page «$pagenum» of «$pagecount»[/center] in a text box on the background template page. It puts "Page 1 of 1" on all six pages. Is what I am trying possible? If so, how would I do this? TIA

As I understand the "g" is for global, so it would do the replace for every instance in the variable field. So it may not be needed for just a single email field. Learning this stuff on the fly the best I can and it is a slow process.

Think this should work. Assuming you used 10 point for the email field. return Field("Email").replace(/@/g,'<span pointSize="8">@</span>');

Nice, this works good, I will use again!

Again, like I said not a great knowledge of the MAC. IT said run font nuke. Low and behold it fixed the problem. Thanks for the help.

Guess I will see if they can help. These fonts are available to me in InDesign, Illustrator, etc. So I assumed it was a FDP Creator issue. Thanks

Again, I just ran this same template last week with 9.1.0, so not sure what has changed!

OK so if I open up Font Book, the fonts are not listed. Is that what you are talking about? How do I get them in there if that is the case? Sorry, not a Power MAC user as you can tell!!!

I did a search for "IDAuto" in the font.err and font.ini and it didn't find any instances.

Thanks for the responses. Have a message into support. Waiting to hear back.

Recently upgraded to 9.1 and have used this template since the update. I have tried over an over to get the barcode fonts to load. I use the Universal Type Server for Font management. The fonts are activated and I load fonts in Fusion Pro but the are still not available anyone have any ideas? Should these fonts be located somewhere else as well? Have restarted Fusion Pro and the MAC multiple times.

Windows Fusion Pro has always run considerably slower in my experience.

In my experience with eps files you will want to make sure the size is correct for your graphics box. I have some clients that think the eps is 2 X 1 and when it is opened in acrobat the file is 8.5 X 11 with the art down in the corner. Just an FYI from my experience.

step since we are working essentially on the same team now, would you mind emailing me your contact information? I have a feeling we will be looking into Classic being sort of my back-up over here since I am the only variable operator here. dreimer@imagineps.com Thanks,

Outstanding!!!!!! Thank you step
