  1. Sean, Templates cannot be brought in as resources, but they can be built as template pages within FP. Also referred to as "repeatable components". They are extra pages (templates really) that are not visible in the preview. You would build them to the size of the frame they are to appear in, then when called upon by your rule, the respective template page gets inserted into the frame. Here is a thread I found talking about this exact subject: http://forums.printable.com/showthread.php?t=2675&highlight=repeatable+components Hope this helps!
  2. Gerard, First off, this should be posted in the MarcomCentral forum, in order to get the proper response from peers that use MarcomCentral. If you are not currently a member of that area of the User Community, please request it. UI Rules only work with drop-downs. If you are using a data file to provide values for "Variable" field your rules will not work. Variable fields do not function as drop-downs, therefore your UI Rules will be voided. You could write a switch rule in FP for the "1/2" "a/b" thing you are doing, that would honor the input values from your variable data source. However, you cannot use UI rules in conjunction with any rule built in FP. Hope this helps
  3. TSCOTT, First you would need to merge/import all of your pages into one PDF. From your description, it sounds as if you want certain pages to be turned on or off, based on the value of one of the fields in the data. If that is the case, review the post below which goes over that scenario: http://forums.printable.com/showthread.php?t=2263&highlight=activating+pages If this is not what you are trying to accomplish, can you clarify? Hope this helps
  4. Meir 1) The banner/colors need to be setup for each active language. In the section where you set the banner/colors; select the language at the top, define the banner/colors as needed and click submit at the bottom. Switch to the next language and repeat. All sections that support custom content per language are basically done the same way (Custom Store Copy, Custom Location Labels, Customize Emails). 2) You need to create a version of each Product in each language you wish to support. That way you can define the template, description, instruction etc... in that respective language. Next you need to create a Group for each of those languages and filter Product respective of the language. Hope this helps
  5. Sean, This would all be done in MarcomCentral. Create your fields using the same values you plan to use in your drop-downs (for testing). Then you would create the drop-downs either in a library or for each field independently, after you upload your template files. You would then use the "Cascading drop-down" UI Rule to filter each drop-down in relation to the previous one. Hope this helps
  6. It's not using the text resource. You can use the Text Profile Attribute (TPA) to point to a text resource, but it will still not be editable. The only way to make it editable is to input the content from your text resource into the User Assignment spreadsheet for the Multi-Line TPA and set it as unlocked.
  7. Crineman, The way you are doing it, you can't. The way you could do it, is using Profile Attributes. Profile Attributes allows you to use either single-line (string of text) or multi-line (paragraph) text content. The attribute is associated to the user and can be set as locked or unlocked. The unlocked variety allows the user to edit the content. Profile Attributes may also be used with images, so your portrait can also be returned this way. Please refer to the How-To videos section in Marcom or review the Help for more details. Hope this helps
  8. Joyce, What is the size of your frame? What settings did you use for scaling in FPD? What is the size and res is the image you are uploading? What is the image format you are uploading? Are you using Image Cropper? Answer these to see if we can help...
  9. p.kennedy Only if they are ordered in the same or "Gang-able" quantities. Gang-able quantities need to be divisible of each other. In some instances this may result in blank spots on the imposition. Just check each order in the Impo Manager section of the Dashboard, with the relevant imposition template and quantity selection at the top. If you would rather have the imposition process be more hands-on, you can always grap the 1-up version of each and impose them off line.
  10. Oleooo, This is available as of the MCC release last Friday. The feature is activated per Product and is called "On-Demand Delivery". It is an upgrade to and replacement for the "Download Print Ready File after Order" feature. Once enable you can select one or more of the following: High, Low-Res PDF or JPEG. It can also be downloaded or sent via email. For more information please review the release notes.
  11. unmakadar, This can be done in 2 ways: 1) Use the Acrobat security settings. 2) Use the Security tab settings in the Compose menu in FusionPro** **If you are using FPD 7.2, the Security tab has been consolidated onto the Doc Info tab. Hope this helps
  12. smccauley, Yes you can create a simple switch rule to use in place of the QR Barcode rule if (Field ("fieldname") == "") { return ""; } else { return Rule("QR Barcode Rule"); } Hope this helps
  13. dfalkowitz You are on the right track, it uses the same tag. You do need to check the box above the scripting area that says "Treat return strings as tagged text" for it to work. return '<b>'+Field("yourfieldname")+'</b>'; For more info about the use of formatting tags in FPD, review the Tags Reference guide: FusionPro menu > Documentation > Tags Reference Hope this helps.
  14. Select, If you installed InDesign after FPD the plugin will not be installed. If you had InDesign already installed, on the top menu row go to: Window > FusionPro This will open the palette that allows you to identify the frames as Variable, so when you use the FPD PDF export they will be variable in the document. Hope this helps.
  15. dreimer Attached is an example of how you can have different records and the template has 2 pages to show what a Pie or Bar Chart looks like. In addition, the Title for the charts can be made part of the Chart Frame, but to use this as a variable, you need to use a variable text frame. Hope this helps. ChartExample.zip
  16. Azatko, I'm surprised it would strip them out and unfortunately I'm not aware of a way to keep them intact.
  17. Dadburne, This is not possible for uploaded graphics. Sorry
