Hi All! We have 60 formatted text resources in a business card template. The customer has decided they want to change everything to all caps now. We tried updating our rule to include case but it didn't work. if (Field("Location")=="La Praire") return '<allcaps>'+Resource("La Praire")+'</allcaps>' Is it possible to incorporate changing the case in our address rule that returns the resource or do we have to update every text resource? I appreciate any help. Traba

All, I updated my rule to if (Field("Phone 1") != "" && Field("Phone 2") != "") return '<f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 1 Tag")</f>'+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone")+' '+'<color name="c0m36y100k8">|</color>'+' '+'<f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 2 Tag")</f>'+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone2"); else if (Field("Phone 1") != "" && Field("Phone 2") == "") return '<f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 1 Tag")</f>'+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone"); else if (Field("Phone 1") == "" && Field("Phone 2") != "") return '<f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 2 Tag")</f>'+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone2"); else if (Field("Phone 1") == "" && Field("Phone 2") == "") return ""; And am getting the bold font & color changes. However, I've lost the space after the divider when 2 numbers are used and it is not showing the tag. It's returning: Field("Phone 1 Tag") (404) 213-8360 |Field("Phone 2 Tag") (404) 941-2631 with bold tags & yellow |. And missing the space between the | and phone 2 tag. Any ideas?

All, I need help. I have a customer that can add up to 2 phone numbers on a business card. The field tags vary. They need to bold the two phone tag fields and change the color for the divider between the 2 numbers if both are used. I have Treat as Tagged Text selected. I have tried both <b></b> and <f name=""></f> My rule current rule is if (Field("Phone 1") != "" && Field("Phone 2") != "") return <f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 1 Tag")</f>+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone")+' '+<color name="c0m36y100k8">|</color>+' '+<f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 2 Tag")</f>+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone2"); else if (Field("Phone 1") != "" && Field("Phone 2") == "") return <f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 1 Tag")</f>+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone"); else if (Field("Phone 1") == "" && Field("Phone 2") != "") return <f name="Gotham Bold">Field("Phone 2 Tag")</f>+' '+Rule("Rule_FormatPhone2"); else if (Field("Phone 1") == "" && Field("Phone 2") == "") return ""; When I check fonts used under advanced, I see Gotham Book and Gotham Bold I also see this in the text frame. The color name for the color I want to use is c0m36y100k8. I see this in both the text frame color drop down as well as colors under advanced. My phone format rules are formatting the numbers as (000) 000-0000. I'm not getting any errors on compose, but it is returning the following: Field("Phone 1 Tag") (404) 213-8360 | Field("Phone 2 Tag") (404) 941-2631 The whole line is black and there is no bold. I appreciate any of the help I can get. Thanks, Traba

All, I found the error. Thanks everyone! Traba

I have a rule that looks at 2 fields to determine what to return. I'm getting a Javascript syntax error message on the following rule and for the life of me, I do not see it. if ((Rule("RuleEmailFirstName") != "") && Rule("RuleEmailLastName") != "")) return Rule("RuleEmailFirstName") + "." + Rule("RuleEmailLastName") + "@" + Field("Email Domain"); else if ((Rule("RuleEmailFirstName") != "") && (Rule("RuleEmailLastName") == "")) return Rule("RuleEmailFirstName") + "@" + Field("Email Domain"); else if ((Rule("RuleEmailFirstName") == "") && (Rule("RuleEmailLastName") != "")) return Rule("RuleEmailLastName") + "@" + Field("Email Domain"); else return ""; Will someone please help me and point out what I'm doing wrong?

Good Morning! I have a javascript rule to replace the above characters & superscript them. var s = Field("Name"); return s.replace(/(™|®|©)/g,'<superscript>$1</superscript>'); It is not working. Will you let me know how the marks should be entered in the database? Thanks, Traba

Please help! I'm stuck again. One of our clients has the ability to select up to 6 logos for the footer on a flyer. The logos need to be centered in the footer, so i can't have multiple image boxes. I need to place all images in 1 image box and have it center aligned. I keep getting This graphic rule must return a Resource type of graphic or no error and no logos populating. I've attached sample data. Thanks so much to anyone that can help! Traba SiteOne_flyer_v5.txt

Our digital press sheets are 12x18". I have an 11x8.5" document that is 8-pages. I need to saddle stitch it on the top (11") like a calendar on the 12x18" sheet. When I use FusionPro Imposer and select Saddle Stitched layout, it always says layout does not fit page no matter what I do. I did try to rotate the pages in Acrobat in the template CCW 90 to make the document 8.5x11". During rotation, I received a FusionPro message and tried using Yes and No with the same imposition results. (see Acrobat-Rotate-Pages-FP-Message.jpg) The output was always bad. *The pages overlapped each other in the output. I attached a sample output. (see PRM_brochure_r4-ss.pdf) PRM_brochure_r4-ss.pdf. I had an 11x8.5" 4-page document that imposed the same way and was able to use Single Gate Head-to-Head. (see WhyBrochure-sg-h2h-4pg.pdf) WhyBrochure-sg-h2h-4pg.pdf *This is the correct output format I need. I tried to modify that imposition for 8-pages but the imposition didn't match the pages up correctly. (see SG-H2H-8pg-Impo-Output.pdf for page match-up) SG-H2H-8pg-Impo-Output.pdf. (see PRM_brochure_r3-singlegate8.pdf for composed output) PRM_brochure_r3-singlegate8.pdf I found a previous post http://forums.pti.com/showthread.php?t=4485 with the same issue but I didn't see a resolution. Will someone please help? Is there a way to use Saddle Stitch layout with an 11x8.5" and stitch on top? Is there a way to use Single Gate Head-to-Head for 8-pages and have it match pages correctly? Is there another layout I can use? Since rotating the template pages in Acrobat didn't work, is there a way to do this with a rule so regular saddle stitch impo works? As always, I appreciate everyone's assistance. Thanks, Traba

Thanks so much! That worked perfectly. I have one more question about this. They have 5 bullets (some are one line & some are two lines) that flow between 2 text boxes that are linked. Right now, I have the 5 bullet rules (like the one you helped me with) and I placed them in box 1 using the text frame settings box. Is there are way to setup the rule so that if there is an even number of bullets it distributes them evenly between the text frames?

Stephen, This goes along with my last post. I have 2 more questions, so 3 in total: 1.) Size the bullet image 2.) Add space between the bullet & text 3.) Indent line 2 when it wraps I've trying everything in the Tags reference manual but can't get them formatted correctly. Thanks, Traba

Thanks to both of you! The updated code you provided did work (I already had a resource named Bullet-Red), so i used that. Now I have 1 more question. The bullet is too big. Is there a way I can scale it or give it a set size? Let me know. Thanks! Traba

I'm creating a template for a customer that allows users to select up to 5 bullets. Based upon the number of bullets they flow to the next frame. I have that working. In addition to the above, they want to use an image as a bullet. (see attached bullet)Bullet-Red-c12m100y99k3.pdf I'm using the following rule: if (Field("Bullet 1") != "") return "<graphic file=Bullet-Red-c12m100y99k3.pdf>"+ Field("Bullet 1"); else return "" When I test the rule it shows that it is returning the graphic + the text. When I apply the rule it is only showing the text. I deselected return as tagged text & it placed the following in the text box: <graphic file=Bullet-Red-c12m100y99k3.pdf>Bullet Copy. I know that I can use graphic boxes for the bullets & text boxes for the copy (and align them), but some bullets are 1 line & some are 2 lines so the spacing between them will not be uniform. This is why I'm trying to use inline graphic. Also, on 2 line bullets, the bullet needs to display on line 1. I've also attached a PDF showing how the bullets should display. PrintAd-4x4-r1.pdf I hope someone can help me today.

I'm working on a business card that has 1 street address field. I need to change the case to uppercase & superscript the street name when it is a number. Ex: North 44th Street should change to NORTH 44TH STREET and the th in 44th needs to superscript. Is there a way to do this with javascript or is my only option to create formatted text resources?

Please help. I'm programming a letter and am having issues with bullets & indents. I've setup & tested multiple options and finally decided to stop & search the forum. I found a thread from Apr 2011 by strido with the same issue but that solution didn't indent the bullets (only the copy after the bullets). I have tab setup as every .167" left margin absolute and left indent 12pt. I've tabbed to start the bullet and placed a tab after the bullet. The wrapped lines are still lining up with the bullet rather than the text. I've attached the composed file, so you can see the current output. I'd appreciate all help. Thanks, Traba bullets-Output.pdf

Thanks so much! That worked. Have a great day! Traba

Our production team needs all pages of the imposed output files to be pointed in the same direction. When we use the 8-page saddle-stitch option in FusionPro imposer the direction of the pages in the output file flip. Pages 1 & 3 are to the left and Pages 2 & 4 are to the right. I've attached an output example to help. vzyt32b5.pdf In case it helps, I've also opened the imposition with a text editor and pasted it below: Bleed=0 CenterLayout=True CropMarkLength=0.25 CropMarkOffset=0.125 CropMarks=True DiscardGutterC_0=None DiscardGutterR_0=None FaceUpStacking=True FlipOnShortEdge=False HorizontalPosition=0 HSigOrder=LeftToRight PagesPerRecord=8 PrimaryRepeatCount=1 PrimaryRepeatDirection=None PrimaryRepeatDuplicate=False PrimaryRepeatInfiniteStack=False PrimaryRepeatSpacing=0.25 Rotation=-90 SecondaryRepeatCount=1 SecondaryRepeatDirection=None SecondaryRepeatDuplicate=False SecondaryRepeatInfiniteStack=False SecondaryRepeatSpacing=0.25 SignatureRotation_0_0=0 SignatureType=Saddle Stitched Slug= SubstrateHeight=18 SubstrateWidth=12 TertiaryRepeatCount=1 TertiaryRepeatDirection=None TertiaryRepeatDuplicate=False TertiaryRepeatSpacing=0.25 TrimBoxHeight=11 TrimBoxWidth=8.5 Units=Inches Version=3 VerticalPosition=0 VSigOrder=TopToBottom When I try changing the rotation, it rotates all pages. Is there a way to rotate either the odd or even pages in the imposition so all pages in the ouput file are in the same direction? Please help. Traba

Thanks for all of the help! I used the following and it worked: if (Field("Address") != "") return '<magnify type=textwidth factor=75><z newsize=8.06>'+ Field("Address")+'</magnify>'; else return ""

Good Morning! I have a business card layout that uses the Horizontal Scale option in In Design. It uses 75% Helvetica Light. Is there a way to use horizontal scaling in a Fusion Pro rule? All help will be much appreciated!

Thanks so much! I think I'm getting the hang of this now.

Dan & Stephen, I'm sorry for my confusion. I've been using FusionPro for a while now but I haven't run into this situation before. This customer has about 60 different business card layouts and I'm finding out that they care changing font (family, size, etc.) for specific characters within a field for more and more of them. If I get the FusionPro templates working, pre-press will not have to manually typeset each card when ordered. The business card uses Telegrafico 9pt. This font is all caps and has no numbers or special characters. The customer uses Gotham Medium for numbers and special characters. Gotham Medium is a larger font, so the copy has to be reduced to 7pt. Forum-BC.pdf is the PDF file from In Design. I took your (Dan's) advice to use 7pt for all Gotham Medium including . rather than reducing it further. When I used your original rule, it changed the font size for Telegrafico text too. So, I updated it to include the font information for the Telegrafico text. I was having trouble just changing the font size for that text, so I added the font name & it worked. var s = TaggedDataField("Individual Email"); if (!s) return ""; //else return s + '<f name="Gotham Medium"><z newsize=7>@</f><f name="Telegrafico"><z newsize=9>MyDomain</f><f name="Gotham Medium"><z newsize=7>.</f><f name="Telegrafico"><z newsize=9>com</f>'; The email field is formatted as First.Last. Using the above rule, the . from that field does not match correctly. See ForumBC-Output.pdf. You can also see the font size difference in this PDF with address. return Field("Address").replace(/(\d+)/g,'<f name="Gotham Medium"><z newsize="7">$1</f>'); The above rule changes the font size for the Telegrafico text too. Right now, I do not have a font formatting rule for the phone & fax. I simply put the format rule in the text frame, highlighted it and selected the font & size. I'm trying to format all of these fields: 1.) Phone & Fax Numbers with Tags 2.) . and @ for email 3.) Numbers in address I split the above formatting into two posts (you & Stephen have responded to both) and am trying to incorporate parts from both posts as well as posts from other people to get this to work. On another card, I have to change the email field to upper case, add @MyDomain.com in upper case and change the @ symbol to 7pt. I have 3 rules & they aren't working together. Rule 3 is the one I have in the template and it's not changing the font size for the @. Rule 1 var Var1 = "Individual Email"; var CaseSelection = "allcaps"; if(CaseSelection == "allcaps") return ToUpper(Field(Var1)); if(CaseSelection == "smallcaps") return "<smallcap>" + Field(Var1) + "</smallcap>"; if(CaseSelection == "propercase") return ToTitleCase(Field(Var1)); if(CaseSelection == "lowercase") return ToLower(Field(Var1)); Rule 2 if (Rule("RuleEmailCase") != "") return Rule("RuleEmailCase")+"@SIMPSONHOUSING.COM" else return "" Rule 3 return Rule("RuleEmail-1").replace(/(\@)/g, '<pointSize=7>@</pointSize>'); Thanks for all of your help! Forum-BC.pdf ForumBC-Output.pdf

Dan, I don't know if I'm going about this right or not. I created a new rule for the . in the Email field. RuleEmail-1 return Field("Individual Email").replace(/\./gi, '<f name="Gotham Medium><new size="7">.</f>'); When I test with this rule, it works. Can you tell me how to incorporate it into my other rule? RuleEmail-2 var s = TaggedDataField("Individual Email"); if (!s) return ""; //else return s + '<f name="Gotham Medium"><z newsize=7>@</f><f name="Telegrafico"><z newsize=9>SimpsonHousing</f><f name="Gotham Medium"><z newsize=7>.</f><f name="Telegrafico"><z newsize=9>com</f>';

Dan, Thank you so much for your help on this. I was able to modify it and it works perfectly for the copy. var s = TaggedDataField("Individual Email"); if (!s) return ""; //else return s + '<f name="Gotham Medium"><z newsize=7>@</f><f name="Telegrafico"><z newsize=9>MyDomain</f><f name="Gotham Medium"><z newsize=7>.</f><f name="Telegrafico"><z newsize=9>com</f>'; I'm still having issues with the . in the Email field (First.Last). Any suggestions?

I’m attempting to format the email address for a business card template and am stuck. The database has an email address with First.Last. My current rule is if (Field("Individual Email") != "") return Field("Individual Email")+"@MyDomain.com" else return "" I need assistance with the following: 1. Changing the . in the field & @MyDomain.com.com to Gotham Medium, 4.5pt with 5.4 pt leading 2. Change the @ symbol to Gotham Medium, 7pt with 8.4 pt leading Any help with this will be much appreciated.

I currently have 3 rules to change the numbers in the specific field to a different font. These rules work. RuleAddressFont return Field("Address").replace(/(\d+)/g,'<f name="Gotham Medium">$1</f>'); RuleFaxFont return Rule("RuleFaxFormat").replace(/(\d+)/g,'<f name="Gotham Medium">$1</f>'); RulePhoneFont return Rule("RulePhoneFormat").replace(/(\d+)/g,'<f name="Gotham Medium">$1</f>'); I need assistance with the following: 1. Including change in font size & leading for the numbers: Font size with Gotham Medium should be 7pt with 8.4pt leading 2. Including ( ) and - characters in the phone & fax rules If someone can use the phone or fax rule above to show me how to do this, I can then apply it to the others. All help will be much appreciated.

Thanks so much for all of your help & the quick response! It works perfectly.
