    Field Suppress

    in Formatting Text

    Posted

    Hello PTI users, I am looking for a little help with some coding.

     

    I am having an issue with hiding an 'Alternative Mailing Address' field while imposing mailing data. I am always left with a blank space and what I would like is for there to be no space between name and address. I was told by an associate I have to suppress the field and I'm not really sure how to do that. I've looked through a number of your threads on here about suppressing, tried the codes and have been unsuccessful so far. Here are some examples of what I am getting and also what I would like

     

    With Alternative Add

    John Doe

    123 Main St.

    P.O. Box 123456

    City, ST 12345-6789

     

    No Alternative Add available (how it imposes now)

    John Doe

    (would like to get rid of this space)

    123 Main St.

    City, ST 12345-6789

     

    No Alternative Add available (how I want it to impose)

    John Doe

    123 Main St.

    City, ST 12345-6789

     

    Is it possible to add the Alt Add when a customer has one and eliminate the space for those that do not? I'm quite positive it is but because of my lack of coding experience I can't figure out how. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Greetings to everybody at PTI,

     

    I have just been given a project and I am not sure how to do what they are asking. I am hoping someone can help me with it.

     

    What they are asking for is a booklet of decals with each one sequentially numbered from top to bottom right to left like I have demonstrated below

     

    13 09 05 01

    14 10 06 02

    15 11 07 03

    16 12 08 04

     

    Each book would be about 600 numbers. How can I accomplish this? I was given one of their old books numbered like this as an example of what they want so obviously there is a way to do it, I just don't know how.

     

    Please if anybody could, help me out and let me know how I can set up my file to be numbered like this.

     

    Thanks

    Imposing Multiple Text Boxes for Mailing Info

    Hi Dan thanks for the response.

     

    I'm not using an .fpi file to define imposition for this. The PDF already has the design imposed 4 on a 11x17 sheet in a very specific way because of the bleed, cut, mailing restrictions etc. I didn't think I would need to use that since I only need to impose the mailing info for multiple addresses in different places. NOT the actual document multiple times on a larger sheet since it already is.

    Greetings to everybody at PTI and anybody else that reads this thread. My name is Rene, I work with the City of San Antonio's Print Shop doing Pre-Press and Graphic Design work. I'm looking for some help with posting mailing data.

     

    Now I have done this before where you do an imposition using a comma delimited Excel mailing list, multiple mailers on a sheet with a different address for every mailer - that I've done many times, not a problem.

     

    This project that we have now is already created as a PDF with 4 mailers on a sheet. Because of the bleed, finished cut size, size of paper we're using, print size limits of our printers, and the Post Offices mailing rules I might have to use the file they sent us the way they sent it to us. What I'm wondering, and haven't been able to figure out, is can I use FusionPro (version 8.0.20) to add 4 text different text boxes that I position where I need them on this 11x17 document and have it impose a different address for each one?

     

    I've done a little testing already and I can see that Fusion Pro can impose information to the 4 texts boxes I placed BUT it keeps giving me the same address in each of the 4 text boxes. Every page is imposed as the same address 4 times and I need 4 different addresses per page.

     

    Is there a rule I can write or a java script trick I can do to make it impose 4 different addresses in each of the 4 different text boxes per page? Someone help please.

     

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Rene
