FusionPro 13.1.4 Mac OS Monterey 12.6.3

Is there a trick to get Adobe Creative Cloud fonts to work in FusionPro? I have selected "Load Fonts" in Fusion Pro but they still don't appear as a choice in my text editor. I have a long workaround to get it to work but its getting aggravating because more and more designers are choosing their fonts from the cloud.

A lot of shops have the mail room also produce a data proof file of all of the variations from the original mailing list. You mentioned that you have to use the final data file, so I guess thats out of the question.

Tried the new version for about an hour before downgrading back to version 12.1.3
With this new release, I was unable to embed my barcode font (UPSIMBStandard) even though embed font was selected in the compose window. It previewed correctly, just wasn't embeddded. Never had this issue until upgrading.
Im running Mac OS Monterey.

Try turning off "infinite stack" and keep the count 900.

I think i figured it out. I had a plugin called "PDFlib FontReporter". And once I removed it, the palettes resized correctly again.
Thanks Dan! Sorry for the false alarm.
btw... Love the new text extraction feature!

Dan, I was using V12.0.3 previously and using the latest version of Acrobat DC.
I included an attachment to show whats going on.
The left image is how it looks when I click on the Preview Selector Palette.
The middle image shows what it looks like when I reduce the window and the right image is me expanding it.
Resetting the palette didn't help.

I updated my Mac version of FusionPro to version 12.1 and now I'm having issues with the Preview Record Selector. Now when I resize the preview window to make it smaller, it cuts off the record information at the bottom (shortest, longest, refresh, preview). It will not add a scroll bar on the right side. Also, I am unable to close any of the palette windows using the button on the top left. Same goes for not being able to close the Document Overview preview. Had that issue in the previous version though.

Have to open FP Imposer, then do File -> Open, or Command-O. Double clicking or dragging the file onto the icon just loads a simplex letter page. Its pretty annoying.
-
If your on a Mac try using Control C and Control V to copy and paste rules.
To copy from Textedit, Use Cmd C to copy and Control V to paste the rule.
-
Yes to all of your questions. Unclick "Different number of records in first file".
-
Try going into Global Paragraph Settings and changing the Leading Mode from "FusionPro 9.3" to one of the other two options.
Mine was default to 9.3 and I was having all kinds of type / leading issues.
-
Using the newest FPImposer for the Mac, I can't even select the "discard space and bleed" feature anymore. It shows for a second then disappears before I can click on anything.
It would be nice in a future release to have a "Best Fit" option as well as better control of the Gutters and Gaps. Also, a "Bleed Outside of Signature" check box would be great.

Dan, I was messing around with this rule today and came to the realization that my symbol fonts like "Zapf Dingbats" don't work anymore since upgrading to the new FusionPro version for the Mac. This even applies to saying yes when asked to insert a variable for the font.
Correction: It composes correctly with the font but does not preview in the text editor. Message says Bold style not loaded.
-
When I copy and paste from a text edit file to a Fusion Rule Editor I now use cmd-C to copy the text and control-V to paste the rule.
If I am copying and pasting in the Rule Editor I use control-C to copy and
control-V to paste.

Thanks Dan!

I just installed the newest version of FusionPro 11.1.2 on my Mac running OS Mojave and I'm having issues with FPImposer. Every time I save an Imposition layout, then re-open it, it loses the settings that I put in the Layout tab. It just defaults to a 1up job. Seems to hold the page size and sheet size though.
Also, been having issues with the USPSIMBStandard.ttf font. When I picked up an older job and composed it, I get an error message...
"Font <USPSIMBStandard> normal style is not loaded, using bold style of this font family.
Its previewing correctly, but when I click on that text box it says the font is Lucida Grande. When I try to change it to the USPS font I get a message that says "Unable to change the selected font to USPSIMBSTANDARD. Do you want to insert a variable to change the font instead?"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In FusionPro Imposer set the Stack count to 2500. Then In FusionPro Composition Settings set the Number of records per file to 5,000.

There is a GUI based rule for that. Just Click New Rule and scroll down to "Choose Text Case" and choose the option your looking for.
or you could use this...
// Rule converted from XML Template "Choose Text Case":
// Please specify a field and choose the appropriate case.
// Begin XML Template selections //
var Var1 = "Header"; // "Choose a field for the conversion to appropriate case." (Required): FieldList
var CaseSelection = "allcaps"; // "Choose case.": PickList ["allcaps" (ALL CAPS), "smallcaps" (small caps), "propercase" (Proper Case or Title Case), "lowercase" (lower case)]
// End XML Template selections //
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));

That worked great Thomas! Thanks so much!

I probably have everyone scratching their heads with my first post so how about this... If the PDF image I'm pulling in is 15 pages instead of 16, how can i have a alternate page 16 turn on in page usage?
pagesInPDF = 0;
markupToReturn = '';
PDFresourceRef = new FusionProResource(Field("PDF"), "graphic", true);
//Find out how many pages it has
pagesInPDF = PDFresourceRef.countPages;
//Page usage loop to turn pages on based on pagesInPDF
for (i = 1; i <= pagesInPDF; i++){
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage('p' + i, true);
}
//Graphic frame loop to specify which pdf page goes into which graphic frame
for (pageLoop = 1; pageLoop <= pagesInPDF; pageLoop++){
var frame = FindGraphicFrame('p' + pageLoop);
frame.SetGraphic('<graphic file="' + PDFresourceRef.name + '" pagenumber = "' + pageLoop + '" scale="off" />');
}
return markupToReturn;

Can someone help with this.... I have a 16 page document where I need to insert numerous Multipage PDFs. Most of PDFs are 16 pages but some are only 15 pages. If they are only 15 pages I need to insert an alternative single page PDF as the 16th page. I am using the rule below for each page but not sure how to have it add my alternate PDF if the Multipage PDF is only 15 pages.
var r = Rule("Insert Picture Rule");
r.pagenumber = 16; // or 1 here
return r;
Sorry if this explanation was clear as mud.

I didn't have any luck with that option. The Digimaster would ignore the command. I did finally get it to work today by loading a really old Kodak PPD and assigning it in page usage.
Thanks!

Dan, i figured out what I was doing wrong. Even though my fonts would load in Indesign, I wasn't aware that I had to go into the Creative Cloud App and activate the fonts to be used in different apps. Sorry for the trouble.
