[Use Input Date File Name For Output File Name]

Hi Chad

 

Create a Rule of type Callback and select OnNewOuputFile. This rule will then be called when a new output file is about to be opened.

 

Use the below code within the rule to create the output filename using the input file name, stripping off the extention and adding .pdf.

 

PDFName = FusionPro.Composition.inputFileName;

FullName = PDFName.split(".");

FileName = FullName[0];

FileExt = FullName[1];

FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName = FileName + ".pdf"

 

Hope this helps

Thanks yet again Dan for your help. I'm sure it me just being stupid but I'm unable to find the case you refer to (FP-11072) Where are all the recorded cases held?

Sorry, the preview no longer works in as much as when I click the preview button in the Preview pane the screen refreshes, automatically deselects the tick in the preview button but does not preview anything.

Thanks Dan. I can now see the error of my ways. I didn't realise that the "inputFileName" and "outputFileName" parts are case sensitive.

 

The only thing is that when using that rule my preview no longer works for some reason. As soon as I remove the rule the preview works. Any ideas??

 

Cheers

[Use Input Date File Name For Output File Name]

When creating my output PDF file I am wanting the output file name to be based upon the name of the seletcted input data file.

 

For example:

 

Selected data input file name: Std4_0310.txt

 

Desired PDF output file name: Std4_0310.pdf

 

I have tried to acheive this using the following OnNewOtputFile rule:

 

FusionPro.Composition.OutputFileName = FusionPro.Composition.InputFileName

 

The rule validates ok but I'm obviously doing something wrong as it still creates the output file with the name designated within the Compose Template-Output-Ouput Filename section.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
