[Gathering Resources With Data File Path In A Rule]

You are right, it looks like the path is changing. I tried FusionPro.inputFileName and the path changed for that as well. Is there a way to preserve the original file path in a variable that I can reference after I send it off to be composed?

[Gathering Resources With Data File Path In A Rule]

Good to know that it can find resources in the same folder. I tried this:

return CreateResource(Field("PHOTO"));

It is the same result as before, when I preview the image shows up, but after I compose it is not there.

[Gathering Resources With Data File Path In A Rule]

I am trying to automate gathering my resources. I can get it to work through a rule without adding the files in as resources if I use something like this:

return CreateResource("File Path\\" + Field("PHOTO") + ".pdf");

This will show the resource in the preview, and it will compose just fine. This is how I want to do it, getting the file path from my data file: (slicing out the name of the date file)

return CreateResource(PrimaryInputFile().slice(0,81) + "\\" + Field("PHOTO") + ".pdf");

I can run both in a text rule (without the "CreateResource" function and they both return the exact same string. Validating the rule shows that that the graphic exists, and it will show the image in the preview, but when I compose, the image isn't in the output file. Any help on why building the string with the "PrimaryInputFile()" is breaking it would be great! Thanks!

[Preview recognizes data but not showing in output on Mac]

I just switched to a mac. I have data coming in from a secondary data file and when I preview the text and graphic fields are there. When I compose though they don't show up. If I run the same template on a windows, the composed file is correct, the fields are showing up. Do I need to be doing something different?

Thanks!

[Output a proof file and print file at the same time]

If I am understanding right, that will only output the print file. Is there a way to have it output the proof file at the same time?

[Output a proof file and print file at the same time]

I am trying to find a way to output a proof pdf that has 1 page per record, and also a print pdf that has multiple pages per record depending on a field called Quantity. For example

Name ,  Quantity
a         ,  3
b         ,  2
c         ,  5

I want a proof file that has 3 pages in it, one for each record, then another print file that has 10 pages, each record duplicated based on the quantity. Is this possible?
