  1. Does FusionPro scale well on a 4K (3840 x 2160 resolution) monitor? I'm considering purchase of a 32 inch 4K monitor, and spend much of my time in Acrobat / FusionPro. The 4K monitors are still pricey, so I want to make sure FusionPro will look good and scale well before making the investment. Thanks in advance!
  2. You could try something like this to form the address block: CityStateZip = [[Field("City"),Field("State")].filter(String).join(" "),Field("Zip")].filter(String).join(" "); myFullName = [Field("First Name"),Field("Last Name")].filter(String).join(" "); return [myFullName,Field("Company"),Field("Mailing Address Line 1"),Field("Mailing Address Line 2"),CityStateZip].filter(String).join("\n").toUpperCase(); If one of the fields is blank, it is removed from the array by the filter.
  3. Bump! I am also trying to place a template inside a table, and FusionPro crashes. Is this possible?
  4. Hello, I have an imposition question. My 18"x12" press sheet holds 4-up of a 6.5"x4.5" piece using FusionPro Imposer. However, there is room for 5-up if the 5th piece is rotated on the press sheet. Is there any way to accomplish this? Please see the screenshot attached illustrating the 5th rotated piece in yellow that I would like to add. Thank you
  5. Thanks. I may have turned on the "Create bookmark for each record" setting by accident. If the bookmarks have names like "vPDF Page 1" in the future I will check that setting. Attached is my latest sample in a collected zip, and the output PDF it composed. Still experiencing the same issues with incorrect bookmarks and incorrect TOC page numbers unfortunately.

  6. Update: Uninstalled FusionPro 9.3.21, and installed 9.3.36 (last version before 10). Tried composing the sample that step provided. Same issues persist.
  7. You could make a vector graphic of the signature using tracing options in Illustrator. Then it is scalable and crisp. Here are some instructions. http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/25168
  8. Unfortunately for me, this could be a Windows version bug. Noticed you are running on a Mac. I see the sample output you provided, and it is perfect. However, running the template you provided, my resulting PDF still has issues. I only replaced the Helvetica Neue font with Arial, and changed the output file destination. The PDF I composed from your template had the same TOC issue, plus for some unknown reason a bookmark was created for every page with a label like "vPDF Page 1". See my output file from your template, attached. I actually ran into this same issue with a bookmark for every page and labels like this earlier in my troubleshooting. I tried running your template on my computer, and on my coworker's computer, both with the same results. Thanks again for the advice and uploading a sample template, unfortunately the issues persist on the Windows computers here. Seems like this solution could work for others though. As a workaround, I have added table tags through the variable text editor. I place a start table tag before the title, and a stop table tag after the first line of text that follows a subtitle. The spacing between the last line of text inside table and the first line outside the table is a little off though. Rule for start table tag var myTable = ""; // Uncomment the boxrules and cellrules to see the table borders during development. myTable += '<table columns="1" margins="top:0;bottom:1;left:0;right:0;" space="above:0;below:0" ' + //'BoxRules="top:thin,black;bottom:thin,black;Left:thin,black;Right:thin,black" ' + //'cellrules="top:thin,black;bottom:thin,black;Left:thin,black;Right:thin,black"' + '>'; myTable += '<column width="54000">'; myTable += '<row><cell>'; return myTable; Rule for stop table tag return "</table>"; DeveloperRunningSteps1.pdf
  9. Step, thank you for the suggestion. I tried it just now. However, the issue persists. Did it work on your setup? I am going to try placing the title-blank-subtitle-firstpara block inside a single table cell to see if that fixes it, and will report back.
  10. The NullResource() FusionPro function should clear the error message that says "This graphic rule must return a Resource of type graphic.". It returns an empty graphic or text resource. return IsPreview() ? Resource("PreviewBlack") : NullResource();
  11. Here is a possible workaround for your issue. Rather than place the graphic in a graphic frame, make it a static part of the PDF background. Then, in your Composition Settings dialog, go to the Graphics tab, and check the box that says "Suppress static PDF background in composition". Then the graphic will appear when the end user views a proof, and will be suppressed in the composed file that goes to press. At least, that is how it behaves with the WebCRD Dynamics web-to-print system, I'm hoping that MarcomCentral is similar. I once had a situation where preprinted shells were being used for the front cover of a booklet. The FusionPro preview output that the end user saw needed to have the cover graphics showing, but the composed PDF that went to press had to have the cover be just plain white with only the variable text showing. This workaround did the trick.
  12. Hi All, The "Keep with next paragraph" setting seems to be conflicting with my linked table of contents and PDF bookmarks. Hoping someone may have some insight as to what is causing the issue. I'm trying to create a PDF document with a linked table of contents and bookmarks. I'm using pretty much the same code that step provided in thread 4351, which has worked well in the past, so off to a good start. The body of the FusionPro template contains section titles, followed by a blank line, followed by a section subtitle, followed by a sentence or paragraph. I'd like to keep the title, blank line, subtitle, and first paragraph following the subtitle together. The issue occurs when the kept together title-blank-subtitle-firstpara block falls on a page break. In the composed output it looks fine, and is pushed to the next page and kept together. But the page numbers and links in the table of contents are off, they point to the preceding page. And two bookmarks for that section are added, one that points to the incorrect preceding page, and one that points to the correct page. Turning the Keep with next paragraph setting Off resolves the issue with TOC and Bookmarks, but then the title-blank-subtitle-firstpara block falls apart on page breaks. I've attached a collected sample job that illustrates the issue well, and two composed PDF output files, one with Keep with next paragraph (KWNP) On, the other with KWNP Off, so you can see what happens to the bookmarks and table of contents. The sample job is static, but the real job is variable length, so I cannot simply adjust the spacing to not fall on a page break. Thank you in advance for any help!

  13. Another idea, to tighten up the space between the $ and the 1, you could put the $ in a separate text frame. Position the new text frame with the $ right next to the 1, as close as you want it. For records where there should be a cents sign instead of a dollar sign, turn off the $ in that frame, have a rule that returns "" (empty quotes) instead of a dollar sign.
  14. You could try cropping the area around the word "off" in your static sample. See attached. Then insert the word "off" in your variable text editor as a graphic, using a text rule with a graphic tag linked to an "off.pdf" file or resource. Something like this: return '<graphic file="C:\\Off.pdf">'; Off.pdf
