  1. Hi Dan, posting a new zip file. Same idea just another client who has 6 levels to create check boxes for.

     

    I used the rules you had set up for the previous one. All works now yet I can't get the dollar signs to produce when linked to the XLS file. This is perfect except for that. If I switched to a csv file instead, it will make dollar signs, but the boxes seemed to stay all the unchecked version.

     

    Would love to use this as is if I could make the dollar signs visible.

     

    Last time when I did check boxes manually I had used the number to currency rule to do this, but since we have a rule to return the graphic based on the amount column itself, ice t possible to apply 2 rules to the same field? Sorry if this is getting too complex, just that automation is the key here. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

  2. I have been trying and still no luck, I didn't even see that your last reply had gone to a page 2 of the thread, I'd be glad to post the files if you or anyone else wants to take a stab at it.

     

    Just to recap, this is a reply card, the data file has three years of $ giving, some people have none, so the goal is to have an unchecked box of there is no $ value, if there is a dollar value of any amount, the box should be checked.

     

    Many thanks in advance!

     

    EDIT by Dan Korn: Attachment deleted as it contained personal data.

  3. Hi Dan, yes my info was severely outdated!

     

    Thanks for this info, I would share my data file and the actual Indesign file if you wanted, but perhaps if I just try to follow what you showed I can figure this out.

     

    Did you post 2 image example or just the DnDRule.jpg? I ask because right after where you say

     

    .....each field is zero or not, something like this:

     

    I see a question mark image icon.

     

    If I was to share files, is that possible here somewhere as an attachment?

     

    Thanks!

  4. Hello Dan, thanks for the feedback, there would always be the four boxes, yet throughout the data file like in this example, the person did not give an amount in 2020, therefore no checkbox.

     

    I really have no knowledge of writing scripts, not sure if anyone has something or an existing rule maybe that would make it so if there was data pulled in for a year dollar amount then the image of a checked box would appear.

  5. So I have this client who works with multiple organizations when they do these appeal mailings. In this case, twice now he has a reply card in which from his data file in Fusion Pro I bring in these dollar amounts as a variable.

     

    What he further wants is if there is a dollar amount brought in, he wants a check symbol to be inserted into a check box that comes before the dally amount variable.

     

    They way I achieved this was after doing my work in Fusion Pro, I would compose the document, then import that final composed document into InDesign and manually put in check boxes where they needed to be.

     

    I don't know if it would be a variable image of check box, or just simply a Dingbat font check.

     

    Looking for any guidance or assistance in achieving something that can be done all at once within Fusion Pro.

     

    I was hoping to attach a visual of what I am referring to, but can't seem to upload an image, when I click insert image it asks for a link to the image, I just want to upload directly.

     

    Thanks!

  6. I have been wondering the same, when will it be compatible and why has it taken so long? So if I contact support there is an available patch to make Fusion Pro work with InDesign 2017? Why isn't it an official release?

     

    Seems odd because it still says up in the notices bar at top of page that CC 2015 is the latest compatible version, is this patch something temporary? Is it fully functional?

  7. What is the deal with this? Had this trouble a while back and got so frustrated I reinstalled FP and used Acrobat 9 instead. Now my 9 is gone need to use Acrobat 10 and again the issue is there..

     

    The Fusion Pro panel on right side never wants to open all the way, just a little bit and you can see any of the tools.

     

    Only after many trys of opening and closing the other panels will it appear, sometimes up to 20 try of opening and closing will it work.

     

    Is there a fix for this? Anyone else have this problem?

     

    screenshot of the panel semi open attached.

     

    Would love to know why this is!
