[Leading discrepancy]

Did anyone figure out the solution to this problem? We are running into the exact same issue with a template in DSF.

[Inserting Multi-page PDF variable graphics]

Hey everyone!

 

This is an awesome thread and has really helped me with my project. Below is the tactic I ended up using:

 

-Create a 48pg document to receive in any pdf with up to 48pages

-Name each page as 'p1', 'p2, 'p3', etc...

-Make them all unused pages except for pg1

-Create a graphic frame on each page and name the frames 'p1', 'p2, 'p3', etc...

-The OnRecordStart will do the rest

 

Take a look at the zip attachment, all code and a working template are included inside it.

 

Here is the code for those who want a quick preview:

pagesInPDF = 0;

markupToReturn = '';

PDFresourceRef = new FusionProResource(Field("image"), "graphic", true);

 

//Find out how many pages it has

pagesInPDF = PDFresourceRef.countPages;

 

//Page usage loop to turn pages on based on pagesInPDF

for (i = 1; i <= pagesInPDF; i++){

FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage('p' + i, true);

}

 

//Graphic frame loop to specify which pdf page goes into which graphic frame

for (pageLoop = 1; pageLoop <= pagesInPDF; pageLoop++){

var frame = FindGraphicFrame('p' + pageLoop);

frame.SetGraphic('<graphic file="' + PDFresourceRef.name + '" pagenumber = "' + pageLoop + '" scale="off" />');

}

 

return markupToReturn;

 

*****One catch with this template, you can't impose multiple records where the pdf page count varies. For example, record 1 has a 16p PDF and record 2 has a 32p PDF. The template will only use the record 1 (16p) info. I believe this due in part to the template using FPImposer.
