K I did see lots of lines like this: Font <TimesNewRomanBdItMS> normal style is not loaded, using bold italic style of this font family. Just: Illegal font lookup (font/pointsize not loaded) So.. the website may be requesting s point size that's not loaded. Since the number of fonts & sizes are limited, I can make a FontBox that contains all that in white type on a white background. Still... The guy sitting next to me can see the preview just fine.

Dose FusionPro VDP software versionEdit Value 8.0.13 work with Acrobat 11?

I have a problem with previews in general. I'm not seeing any preview at all. I have loaded the fonts. I click on a text box, all the fonts show in the text editor but when I close the editor, all my boxes are blank! What could cause this? FusionPro VDP software versionEdit Value 8.0.13 OSEdit Value Mac OS 10.6.8 Acrobat VersionEdit Value Acrobat X (10)

Ok That's what I thought. I've been opening every cfg file & altering the search path in a text editor. We probably won't upgrade till New Years. Thanks

I currently have FusionPro 8.0.13. Is it possible to put in a relative search path? In older versions like 7, this would work but now when I put one in (I go to compose/Advanced/Search Path), FusionPro replaces it with an absolute path. I'm working on a "production" server then copying the collect to the web server. I have an image folder within the template folder, so I'd really like the relative path to work. Thanks

Ok I see Thanks

Is there a way to do this with a color value rather than using a named color? We have a client that can use lots of many colors. Using the rule above, every time they want to add a new color, we'd have to open the template & recollect it. I'd like to give them a color picker & let them send color values if possible.

I know there is a rule to make a text box or picture box color variable. if (filename.indexOf("13A2_9_BlockBuster_p1.jpg") > -1) { theframeP1.fillColorName = "Blockbuster"; theframeP1.fillColorPercent = 100;

I wasn't able to get the code you sent me to work. I was able to use this code in my OnRecordStart: onlinePreviewVal = FusionPro.Composition.JobOptions.isOnlinePreview; desktopPreviewVal = FusionPro.Composition.isPreview; if (onlinePreviewVal != "Yes" && desktopPreviewVal != true) { FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Page2", false); }

Dan, Sorry I wasn't clear enough earlier. This customer is printing large amounts of stuff. Postcards and/or booklets will be printed in the thousands. They will be imprinted with franchisee store names, return addresses & merged with a mailing list. So.. the 4/color printing will be done on offset. The printed pieces will be cut and or folded and sent to another printer to be imprinted. So there are 2 things for the template to do. 1) While the client is on line: Show the client the full printed piece together with the mailing data. 2) Send a 1 page pdf to the imprint press that shows only imprint data. What I'm trying to do is get that 1 page pdf for the imprint press operator. I'm going to try working with your suggestion using the OnRecord Start. Thanks

Is there a way to compose a 2 page pdf for preview, then compose only page one for production? I've tried a couple things I even tried FPimposer: pages per record - 1: Layout Simplex. I'm still getting page 2. The job is to imprint an address panel on a.... sell sheet, postcard, back of a 8 page booklet etc. Thanks for the help!

Well I just tried Font Nuke. It was about like I expected. All the fonts loaded no problem but when I composed a file and opened the pdf; Only 1 font was not embedded, Helvetica. That's going to be a problem for our printers. The problem with upgrading is, we have all these sites working. They use an older version of FusionPro. Upgrading means stopping work and lots of testing to make sure nothing gets broken. Upgrading desktop is easy, upgrading server is not taken lightly over here. I'm not sure what the next move will be.

Ok Thanks. I'll check and see how soon we can work in an upgrade.

I haven't tried Font Nuke but I typically go to: /Library/Preferences/PTI/FusionPro/Fonts. I'll delete all the fonts here then reload all fonts then restart Acrobat and FusionPro. Like I said everything works well Except: When I compose and open the pdf, Helvetica is not embedded. I'm using FusionPro 8.0.13

I'm also having trouble with helvetica. It won't embed!! I'm using FusionPro 8. The font is loaded & works fine. When I open the composed pdf, got to: File/Properties/Fonts: Helvetica is NOT embeded! Does anyone have any ideas?http://forums.printable.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=731&stc=1&d=1350487826

Is it possible to get a copy of a "generic" named text format style so I could just open it, modify & rename it?

How do I do this today? I have Indesign CS5. there is no export styles feature. I am using FusionPro 8 and I need to format text in cells. The cell on the far left will be left justified - the one on the far right will be right justified - the rest will be center justified. The top row will have different leading than the second row. Can this be done? Thanks

Thanks Dan, Repeatable Component took care of all the issues I was having with this. Thanks!

Ok It doesn't seem to be a lot of use unless you can control both. One client uploads a square image. Another uploads a vertical rectangular image. and.... Another uploads a horizontal rectangular image. If you're just controlling the width and a client uploads a vertically oriented rectangular image; then... the Photo + CSR name + Phone; will take up an inordinate amount of space on the page. There may not even be enough room on the page for just the photo. In this case the Photo, Name, Phone; appear in the middle of variable paragraphs, so they need to move. I've never used repeatable component. I'll look into that. Thanks

I have a project using inline graphics in a table. It's a postcard with CSR photo + Name + Phone. Those 3 things have to flow with the text (& stay next to each other). You can never tell what kind of photo a client will upload. Is there any way I can control the photo (width + height + scale)? I thought if I put a 3rd page in my postcard template that is the exact size the photo needs to be; .7" x .9"; I could have the photo load there in a graphic box, then bring Page 3 into my table on Page 2. I'm not sure how to do that or if it's even possible. I tried to attach the zipped template but got an error. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for your time. Mike G.
