  1. If you are still looking. I might be interested. If you are still in need of help email me at jseymourcreative@gmail.com.
  2. Do I need to uninstall existing FP or will this install over existing?
  3. I am running VDP Designer 9.3.22 and Acrobat 10.1.16
  4. This is what the site lists the format as: Mac & Win OpenType - PostScript Flavor (.otf)
  5. Has anyone else had font issues In FusionPro after migrating to El Capitan. Our family of brand fonts was working fine in FP before but now that I am running OS X 10.11.3 they have disappeared. I have: I have double checked to make sure that fonts are validated. Cleared the cache. Loaded Fonts. Did a fresh Install of FP. I even went back to the font foundry website and downloaded first hand files of the fonts and repeated the whole process without success. Checking the fonts.err file reveals that not only are there no errors on the fonts in question but the fonts don't even show up in the file. Anyone else experiences this and know what to do about it?
  6. It would seem that all of a sudden any resourse that is linked from my departments server will not show up when previewed in fusion pro. Any idea what is causing this?
  7. That worked! Thank you. I have one more question. For some reason the bullet character for the first paragraph in each list is larger that the rest. What is causing that? I have attached a screen shot to show what is happening. Here is my updated code function styleText(style,text){ titleFormat = '<p linespacing=".75"><color name="NSU green"><f name ="Interstate Black"><z newsize="28">'; // subtitleFormat = '<color name="NSU green"><f name ="Interstate RegularCondensed"><z newsize="20">'; headFormat = '<p leadafter="450"><color name="NSU green"><f name ="Interstate BlackCondensed"><z newsize="16"><uppercase>'; subheadFormat = '<p leadafter="450"><color name="black"><f name ="Interstate RegularCondensed"><z newsize="14">'; bulletCharFormat = '<p style="(no style)" br="false" override="true" quad="L" linespacing="1" findent="0" lindent="0" rindent="0" leadbefore="0" leadafter="450" keeplines="true" widows="2" kerning="true" hyphenate="false" skipifempty="false" skipifemptyvar="false" noparabreakoncopyfit="false" tabstops="0;R900,Left"><color name="nsultgreen"><f name ="Interstate Bold"><z nesize="10">'; bulletTextFormat = '<p style="(no style)" br="false" override="true" quad="L" linespacing="1" findent="0" lindent="1800" rindent="0" leadbefore="0" leadafter="450" keeplines="true" widows="2" kerning="true" hyphenate="false" skipifempty="false" skipifemptyvar="false" noparabreakoncopyfit="false" tabstops="0;R900,Left"><color name="black"><f name ="Aldine401 BT"><z newsize="10">'; plainTextFormat ='<color name="black"><f name ="Aldine401 BT"><z newsize="10">'; var result; switch (style) { case "Title": result = titleFormat+text; break; case "Subtitle": result = subtitleFormat+text; break; case "Head": result = headFormat+text; break; case "Subhead": result = subheadFormat+text; break; case "Bullets": var MyVar=text; var MyArray=MyVar.split("<p>"); var MyString= bulletCharFormat+'»<t>'+bulletTextFormat+MyArray[0]; if (MyVar==""){ return ""; }else{ for (i=1;i<MyArray.length;i++){ MyString+='<br><p>'+bulletCharFormat+'»<t>'+bulletTextFormat +MyArray[i]; } }; return MyString; break; case "Plain Text": result = plainTextFormat+text; break; default: result = plainTextFormat+text; } return result; };
  8. Wanted to create a function that allows users to choose a style from Field A that formats the text they enter in Field B. I came up with the following function which appears to work pretty well. My problem arrises when I come to the "Bullets" case I need bulleted text to have a tab stop of .125 in and a second line indent of 0p9. Is there a way to include this in the switch statement so that it doesn't effect all the other fields in the text frame? function styleText(style,text){ titleFormat = '<color name="NSU green"><f name ="Interstate Black"><z newsize="28">'; subtitleFormat = '<color name="NSU green"><f name ="Interstate RegularCondensed"><z newsize="20">'; headFormat = '<color name="NSU green"><f name ="Interstate BlackCondensed"><z newsize="16"><uppercase>'; subheadFormat = '<color name="black"><f name ="Interstate RegularCondensed"><z newsize="14">'; bulletCharFormat = '<color name="nsultgreen"><f name ="Interstate Black"><z nesize="10">'; bulletTextFormat = '<color name="black"><f name ="Aldine401 BT"><z newsize="10">'; plainTextFormat ='<color name="black"><f name ="Aldine401 BT"><z newsize="10">'; var result; switch (style) { case "Title": result = titleFormat+text; break; case "Subtitle": result = subtitleFormat+text; break; case "Head": result = headFormat+text; break; case "Subhead": result = subheadFormat+text; break; case "Bullets": var MyVar=text; var MyArray=MyVar.split("<p>"); var MyString='<p>'+bulletCharFormat+'»<t>'+bulletTextFormat+MyArray[0]; if (MyVar==""){ return ""; }else{ for (i=1;i<MyArray.length;i++){ MyString+='<br><p>'+bulletCharFormat+'»<t>'+bulletTextFormat +MyArray[i]; } }; return MyString; break; case "Plain Text": result = plainTextFormat+text; break; default: result = plainTextFormat+text; } return result; };
  9. I have tried to use this font in the same way in FusionPro and haven't been able to get it work the same way as it does in Indesign. In Indesign when Discretionary Ligatures are enabled it interprets "25+25+50" as a pie chart with two 25% slices and a 50% slice. Is there a way that i could get FusionPro to act in the same way?
  10. I am moving this from a thread i posted in earlier to start it as a new question. We have started using a font in Indesign Called Chartwell that lets us easily create and edit charts directly in Indesign. Here is a link to a video about it. http://www.lynda.com/articles/indesigns-secrets-building-graphs-with-the-chartwell-font Basically you can type in your percentages, select your text and turn on "Discretionary Ligatures" in the Character Palette's Open Type settings. This converts your numbers to a chart. Is there a way to get Fusion Pro to respond the same way to convert numbers to graphs using this font?

  12. Can i write a rule that makes the date on a product automatically update to the current date each time it is composed?
  13. The image in my out put file is fine on non-imposed file but it does strange things once the file is imposed. Look at the attachments to see what i mean. 17369_282850_qsfiviso_press.pdf 17369_282850_kpoaq5xj_fpi__defaultImposition_press.pdf
  14. Well i was hoping that if the page usage was set to false when the second page fields were left blank then it would leave out the second page.
  15. I have a document that needs to impose 4up and has an optional second page. I have it set to hide the second page if client leaves text fields blank. But when i generate the imposed press file it still imposes the blank second page. Is there a way to only impose the second page if conditions are met?
  16. I want to create a template that will create an imposed print file from its first to pages (which make up a folding card) and a non-imposed print file from the third page (the accompanying envelope). That way our clients don't have to create and order two different products. Is this possible?
  17. So I know how to measure the length of a string. I was wondering if there is a way to determine how many rows of text there are in a text frame or how much vertical space in a text frame is being filled? Im trying to make templates that have responsive layouts that will change based on the amount of content entered.
  18. Here is how i want my returned text to look: Joshua Seymour, PH.D: 918.345.4567, seymoujd@nsuok.com I have two contact lines so i created a function globals. It looks like this: function contactInfo(nAme,cred,phone,email) { var namCred=""; var info=""; if (cred=""){ namCred=nAme; }else{ namCred=nAme+", "+cred+": "; }; if (email=""){ info=phone; }else if(phone=""){ info=email; }else{ info=phone+", "+email; }; var contact=namCred+info; return contact; }; my rule looks like this: return contactInfo(Field("Name 1"),Field("Credentials 1"),Rule("Rule Phone 1 Format"),Field("Email 1")); None of the fields are blank but the function returns this: Josh,:, Why doesn't it work?
  19. I thought that might be the case and I had actually tried that before i posted here. so to clarify. I have changed my Press Settings in the configure tab to have a default imposition and I do have Impositions loaded in the template assets library.
  20. What does it mean if the drop down menu for the "Impose?" field only gives the "No (1-UP Only) option?
  21. I need some help with this. Im trying to write a rule that hides pages based on a selection from a drop down menu. The rule validates as "Expressions OK" but when I go to preview it doesn't work. I am able to get it to work if i write it out the long way with out the for loop I was just hoping to avoid the extra typing. var pages = ["Cert 1","Cert 2","Cert 3","Cert 4","Cert 5"] if(Field("Choose A Certificate")=="NSU Certificates.jpg") {for (i=1; i<pages.length; i++); {FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(, false)} };
