[FPImposer resetting Advanced]

Thanks for the news.

 

We can handle waiting for the next release.

[What's wrong with this syntax?]

When a user (we have two licenses) starts composition the dialog/progress bar appear for a few seconds, then "unexpectedly quit".

-

Our solution has been to delete the following section:

if(picture.countPages == 1)

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Blank", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber > 1 && FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber < finalTicket);

else

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("PDFB", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber > 1 && FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber < finalTicket);

 

We then begin initiate composition again, cancel after a few seconds, repaste the code back in the document and begin composing again. This happens on the first job since the computer rebooted. Subsequent jobs with the same code will not quit.

 

I have attached a collected file.

Sorry for the delayed response, for some reason Outlook decided that the response alert email was junk.

Thanks for the information.

[What's wrong with this syntax?]

All my pages are unused, and only used via OnRecordStart. Is that the wrong way to do this?

[What's wrong with this syntax?]

This is from OnRecordStart.

 

When I first added the if/else statement, the file composed fine. The next day FP immediately crashed on composition. I removed the if/else, it composed fine. I added the if/else again, and it composed fine

 

The next day, exact same scenario. The files that composed fine yesterday again crashed. Removing and re-adding the if/else fixed the problem. Any thoughts?

 

var Var1 = "JobNumber";

var Var2 = ".pdf";

var Var3 = "/Volumes/production/FP_Auto/PDFOUT/";

var Var5 = "OrderNumber";

var picture = new FusionProResource(Var3 + Field(Var5) + "_" + Field(Var1) + Var2);

 

var finalTicket = Int(Field("Qty")) + 4

FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = finalTicket;

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Ticket", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1);

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("TicketB", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1);

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("PDF", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber > 1 && FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber < finalTicket);

 

if(picture.countPages == 1)

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Blank", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber > 1 && FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber < finalTicket);

else

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("PDFB", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber > 1 && FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber < finalTicket);

 

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Ticket2", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == finalTicket);

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Ticket2B", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == finalTicket);

FPImposer will not save Advanced Ordering.

 

I reverse Horizontal and Vertical, Save. When I reopen the fpi files, the Ordering has reverted to default.

 

Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?

 

Thanks,

Eric,

 

Thank you very much. I particularly appreciate that you have defined the FusionPro.Composition functions; I have been searching for that information for a while.

 

BTW - I spent a week down there about 7 years ago when we were getting trained in Fusion Pro web. Funny thing, we didn't get a free lunch then, we went (usually) to the little grocery on the corner.

[I want to repeat a record]

Well,

I have spent quite a few hours today trying to do this myself. You can tell me I've reached my limit on free meals (though I used FP for 6 years in another job and never asked a question)

For each record, I want to output a beginning ticket, x copies of the job, and an end ticket. The following code gives me the right count, but it places the two tickets at the beginning and then the repeated page. In Page Usage they are also in the order that I want to output.

 

FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = Int(Field("Qty")) + 2;

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Ticket", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1);

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("PDF", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber != 1);

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Ticket2", FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1);

Thanks Ste,

I was aiming for 5 rows and 5 columns, and the latest code did the trick

[I want to repeat a record]

The final question is imposition - and I've tried various stacking, horizontal and vertical combinations. I need 5 different tickets to be placed in a vertical row, with the pdfs following horizontally in as many sheets it takes to print 50 of each of 5 pdfs.

[I want to repeat a record]

Thanks, guys

 

I actually was just coming back to say that I did something that worked (and shocked myself!).

 

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Ticket" , false);

if (FieldChanged("Column"))

{

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Ticket" , true);

}

FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = Int(Field("Qty"));

[I want to repeat a record]

I've now been given a more complicated version of this. I need to output a file in which the first page is a job ticket and has information about the job, the following pages repeat the job, say 50 times. Then this is followed by the job ticket again.

Can this be done?

[I want to repeat a record]

Thanks for the great resource. I'm testing it out now.

[I want to repeat a record]

Is there some javascript that will allow me to repeat a record x number of times (like 50, 100 or 200). That value can be either in a field or fixed in the java script.

What we are doing is printing half a dozen business cards on a sheet, but we need to have 100 copies of some cards, and 50 of another.

 

Thanks,

 

David
