I have a client for whom we will be making vinyl signs. We pay for the material by area, and would like to charge by area. Is there any way to calculate pricing based on the area of the sign?

At present, that's the way the traditional JobDirect works. There have been some changes in the MarcomCentral 2013 update, but these require setting up a FusionPro template in order to get all the job specs into the job ticket. I am still trying to figure out if it's worth while going this long route when there is some indication in the release notes that there is a newer version of JobDirect in the pipeline. Seems like a major mission to me. JobDirect is a fantastic tool for us, with a few issues. PDF upload only renders US Letter which cuts out the rest of the world, and the job specs have to be captured via a screenshot in the dashboard.

Thanks - perfect

This code yields the correct colours but doesn't insert a line break/feed. Could there be an issue with the \n? var result = '<color name ="pantone 335 C">' + Field("First name") + " " + Field("Last name") + '</color>'; result += (Field("Qualification 1") != "") ? '\n <color name = "pantone 430 C">' + Field("Qualification 1") + " " + Field("Qualification 2") + '</color>' : ""; return result;

Aha - that works. Thanks

Thanks for this. I think I'm missing something though. I get this returned: <color name ="pantone 335 C">Bruce Springsteen</color> <color name = "pantone 430 C">BSc Bcom</color>

Hi, I have a business card which includes name and qualification. If the qualification is not present, just the name will be shown. The name and qualification need to be indifferent colours. This appears to be a job for <span> I have the following: if (Field("Qualification 1").length < 0) return < color name ="pantone 335 C"><span> Field("First name") +" " +Field("Last name");</span> else return <color name = "pantone 335C"> <span> Field("First name") + " " + Field("Last name")</span>+ "\n" <color name = "grey"> <span>+Field("Qualification 1")+" " + Field("Qualification 2")</span>; Which clearly doesn't work. Any pointers would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks - looks as if it should do the trick

Aha. Thanks very much

I have a versioned job that produces artwork for a free standing display unit. The client will order the units via a store front and will have the option to choose the number of units required. There is no need however to produce artwork for multiple units - so if the client orders one unit, the artwork needs to be printed once. If the client orders 100 units, there is still only a need to create the artwork once, not 100 times. Is there any way of only creating one PDF as opposed to a large PDF which contains 100 times the same artwork, whilst still calculating the correct pricing for the number of units?

I have a need to use different images based on a country chosen. I have been able to make it work using a large, nested and tiresome rule and wondered if there was a more elegant way. Basically I'd like the user to choose a country from a drop-down. Based on the country chosen, some images would then be available, whilst the balance of the library would not be available. Any idea if this is possible?

I have a product that I have made available in a store. I would like to, on choosing the item, to automatically e-mail the PDF to my account manager, who would then forward this to a print provider of our choice. At present, on placing the order, the system requires that the requisitioner enters the e-mail address. Is there any way of changing this process?

Pity I didn't see this ages ago! And that I live in South Africa

Looks as if I match the requirements. Pity I'm in South Africa

Hello Dan Looking for the Frodo Travel tutorial Cheers

I have a challenge and have no clue as where to start: I have a client who produces about 5,000 discreet PDF files per day. The files vary in the number of pages per file from one to three. The client produces a .csv file with the file names of the PDF files. These files will be printed and inserted into envelopes using an automated mailing inserter. The inserter reads a barcode and uses the barcode to match the pages together as required. My challenge is to place a unique barcode on each page. The barcode can include the file name and should indicate the number of pages. Is there any way of doing this in FusionPro? I am using MacOS Lion, Acrobat 10.1.3, FusionPro 8.1.2 I'd appreciate any ideas on this one

I am using OSX Lion with FusionPro 8.0.20. I have created a relatively simple template and the preview looks fine. Next step is obviously composing the template.

This may be a simple question from an idiot operator, but I've lost most of my hair over this one. I've set up a template for a business card and have created a graphic frame to take the QR code. I've created the rule for the QR code and associated the rule with the graphic frame. When running through the preview, no code appears in the block. A similar text block for a 128 barcode does show in preview. Could this be a font issue? I'm using MAC, but not sure if this is significant
