Yes I am. Thought it was just me. Using FusionPro Producer, but same problem. Crashes ever time on export.

Hi Rob I had the same issue when we switched to producer. Try adding the XDF as a plain text resources and then compose. That should fix the problem

Thanks Susan.

I have an older template that uses a XDF to pull in service center by location. Using just FusionPro Desktop its works great, but now that we are using Producer it not passing along the XDF and I'm not sure how to resolve the problem. There is a On Job Start Rule. XDF = new ExternalDataFileEx("INTOX SERVICE CENTER.txt", ","); if(!XDF.valid) ReportWarning("Warning: The XDF file could not be found/read. Results may be unexpected."); Then my rule for comparing locations has XDF = new ExternalDataFileEx("INTOX SERVICE CENTER.txt", ","); if(!XDF.valid) ReportWarning("Warning: The XDF file could not be found/read. Results may be unexpected."); So what do I need to do to pass along the XDF to producer? Thanks For the help

Thanks for the reply Dan. So any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Thanks

I'm trying to set up a sequential numbering that runs vertically on the back of the piece. I see in the manual that by clicking on the Advanced Text Effects, their is an option at the bottom of the palette to click for vertical text. This option is greyed out. I've tried selecting the text frame or selecting the text it self and creating a new text frame in FusionPro, but the option stays greyed out. I must be missing a set some where. Any ideas. Running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7, FusionPro 12.1.0 and the latest Indesign and Acrobat. Thanks for looking .

Just a note to say thanks to the powers that be. The new Table GUI Rules are a god send. Very helpful and a great upgrade to FusionPro.

I have a variable product that will be hosted in Marcom. It seems like the perfect job to use the "Multi Select Check box" function in Marcom. I've attached a screen shoot of what I'm trying to achieve. The text box can only hold 5 lines of copy, but the text in red has 8 different options with the "and more" text always showing at the bottom. Since this is a variable that will return more than one line does this need to come into my template data as a multiline or no? As far as programing the template rule, is it as simple as calling out the same instances that are added in marcom for each line of copy. A little lost on this one and I'm still waiting for some documentation from support. Thanks for your help

Thanks for the explanation Dan. Very helpful.

We just recently upgraded to FusionPro Producer. We have several jobs that use a inline graphic. with a rule such as(return '<graphic file="Mercer_Bullet.pdf"'. Before the upgrade as long as the graphic file is in the same folder as the template these all worked fine. Now when I send the job to producer the inline graphic that is called our for drops out of the output. With using producer now is there an additional step I'm missing? Thank You

You need to use the connect text frame tool to link the 2 text boxes together. So text will flow from one box to the other.

Thanks Dan That never accord to me. My next thought was text measure, but this is much easier. Thanks for the help!!

I've attached screen shot of some variable text I'm having trouble on how to keep both left and right alignment. Looking at the sample there are 3 amounts on the right and 3 amounts on the left. These amounts can be as many as 6-7 characters to just 1-2. The customer wants it to align on both the left and right edges, so the dotted line is what would need to decrease or increase based on the text inserted. Even using a table for this I can see how to make that happen. ThanksScreen Shot 2021-04-30 at 10.01.18 AM.pdf

I have a font message I've never run across and don't know who to fix. It embeddeds fine from Indesign and in there base pdf, but no preview in the variable boxes and the following error message when I compose. PDF Library Create Font Error: font NotoSansSC-Regular: The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing. Any thought or ideas? Thank you

Thanks, I'll give that a try

Has anyone else been having a problem when coping and pasting text in FusionPro. I'm working mainly on a Mac and since ver 11 when I copy and paste any text in FusionPro the text attributes change and or drop out. For example, I get a paragraph all formatted to match the original and then copy and paste to a formatted resource for multiple versioning. The leading weather it is auto or absolute changes to zero and I get a -548 in the right indent. This is just one example, but anytime I copy & paste this happens. Searching I don't see any preference or anything that maybe causing the problem. Is this a possible bug? Thanks

Not sure if this is the correct place for this question. I have a variable form that will be going on a Marcom web site. At the bottom of this form, which is a payroll deduction form. There is a spot for a digital signature. I've never had to account for a digital signature before. Does Marcom have any functionality for this? How would I handle something like this. Thanks for your input. FusionPro 12, Indesign 2021, Mac OS Mojave.

Thanks for the update.

I have a job that looks like the perfect job for the multi-Line Record Input feature, but I'm unsure has how to proceed. I've attached a sample template with data and a sample output. I've create a 3 column text box for this data and defined it as a multi-Line Record. From here I'm a little lost. I know I ned to call out the FusionPro.GetMultiLineRecords(), but unsure how. Once again i know what I need to say just not how to say it it javascript. Ugh. I need to rerun the "Check Num", "Check Date and "Check Amount" for each record. The record changes is every time the name changes. FusionPro 11.1.2 Mac Indesign 2020 and latest Acrobat. Thanks for the help. Sample_Job_Collect.zip

Dan - Thanks for the reply. I've attached all the composed files and the template files with all the log files. Looking at the output log, i can see where is says font Tisa Sans OT - Light not loading, but no error for the missing Tisa Sans OT. So now I know the font is not loading, how to get it to load in Ver. 11. As always thank you so much for your help. If i can get past this hurdle and can finish this job.Collect_for_Forum.zip

Anyone else have any font problems since moving to ver. 11? I have a template I couldn't get to collect for Marcom on my Mac. I moved this project to me PC and everything seemed fine until I loaded in to Marcom and output a pdf. There are 2 fonts that are used both in the static background and variable text frame that when i output through Marcom come out as Ariel. I get no error message when opening the text frames in question and no error on collect. The fonts in question are loaded straight into the Windows font folder and are seen and output from Indesign with no problem. The fonts are Tisa Sans OT - Regular and Light. With the new version i'm unsure on how to resolve missing fonts. Windows 10, FusionPro 11.1.2 and latest Acrobat up to date. I've attached the collected file. Thank YouSingle_Collect_11.2.zip

Someone else may know better, but I don't think FusionPro can handle different trim sizes within the same document.

Just recently upgrade to FusionPro 11 and now on every job I'm getting a error message on output. "Unknown Tag no_tag ignored". Looking at the message log i can't see why this is happening. Any thoughts. Thanks Sample job attached. Test_Files.zip

Also forgot. With the new version of FusionPro. When I try to apply the Mail Bar Code font it creates a rule now to do so instead of just applying it. Its the same USPS font we've been using since FusionPro 9. How come? Just for my own info. Thanks

Hi Dan Still getting an error on output. "Unknown Tag no_tag ignored" I've attached a new job to look at. This is using Mac 10.14.6 Mojave, Indesign 15.0.2 & FusionPro 11.1.0. There is also an output pdf with the log files. As always thank you for your time. Test_Files.zip
