Peter, it sounds like you found a solution using the encoded IMb out of Satori. However if you did want to use FP's encoder you would need to supply it two numbers, the Tracking number and the Routing number. Satori combines these numbers into one long number, to use in FP you would need to parse out the info below. Tracking Number(digits) = Barcode ID(2) + Service Type ID(2) + Mailer ID(6 or 9) + Serial Number (9 or 6) Routing number is 0, 5, 9, or 11 digits and is comprised of ZIP+4+DP (delivery point)

Dan, FP 9.3.15 appears to have fixed the problem. Thank you.

Some fonts are converting to the Oblique font face as soon as I click on a new line in the text editor or as soon as I close the editor. An example from the Adobe Font Folio is "Futura Std Book" immediately converting to "Futura Std Book Oblique" If I replace the font using the Advanced menu option, the correct font will hold until I reopen the text editor. I've tried reloading the fonts, and the font.ini file appears to have the fonts loaded correctly. Is anyone else seeing this problem or a similar one?

I would like to print any of the below information on products ordered on Marcom. Is there a way to include any of the below information by programming it directly into the template? Purchase Order Sales Order Order Number Cost Center I'm thinking I may be able to create a rule that contains something similar to: FusionPro.Composition.inputFileName where I would replace inputFileName with something that returns the Sales Order, etc.

Accent not composing correctly with FP Server
jshobar replied to jshobar's topic in FusionPro® VDP Server (API)
Thanks Dan. Saving the file as UTF-16 Unicode text solved the problem. -
I have a template that populates with the word "CAFÉ" (with an accent on the "E"). Previewing in Acrobat, and PDFs composed on the desktop display correctly. When the job is sent to the FP server, the word comes out as "CAFƒ" This problem happens using several different fonts. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

using both tagged text and a formatted resource in same rule
jshobar replied to jshobar's topic in FusionPro® VDP Creator
Thanks Dan! -
I am looking to create a rule (that returns tagged text) that uses both tagged text and formatted text resources. I can accomplish the above by having a separate rule return the formatted text resource and then using that rule in the tagged text. return "<f name=\"Helvetica\"><z newsize=\"18.0\">TEXT TEXT TEXT "+"<variable name=\"return_TextResource\">"; where "return_TextResource" is a rule that contains: return Resource("TextResource"); I was wondering if there is a way to access the formatted text resource directly and not have to create a separate rule that only returns the formatted tagged text.

Tracey, this sounds like Fusion expects the font to be there but it is not. Have you tried loading the font locally (not using a 3rd party extension), restarting, launching FP and loading fonts? This usually fixes the problem for me.

Applying a Specific Color to a Variable
jshobar replied to Admin1676454018's topic in Formatting Text
Great Solution! If you didn't want to Include the color in the data you could change the above to: return '<color name="' + Rule("Color") + '">'; And then have one Rule that decides the color. -
Applying a Specific Color to a Variable
jshobar replied to Admin1676454018's topic in Formatting Text
Not that I can think off off hand. Even with alot of Fields, you only have to write one rule and duplicate it a number of times, changing one line. Or if you can set all your text as a Resource, you could then grab the tagged text and have one rule that would change the entire color of the resource. Alternatively, there may be code you could write that would redefine the color "Black" to be what ever you wanted it to be, but I'm not sure on that one. -
Applying a Specific Color to a Variable

Gabrielle- Use the above rule, but instead of Calling the color out like: <color name = \"Blue\">, call it out as a variable as such : <color name = CardColor> Then write a rule to assign Red or Black to CardColor: if .... then CardColor = "Red", else CardColor = "Black"
