Do you need the actual spaces? If not, you can play with the tracking to "expand" or condense the spacing to mimic the coding........

I see. Just have the presort software leave off the check digit. Or in FP create a rule to take the left 11, but then you'll have to do it to 5, 9 length too so back to leaving off the check digit is your best bet. I haven't had to use the check since the post net days.

I use the alpha characters with USPS IMB font size 14 for compact. I think if you are to use the FP IMB builder, as long as you have one of those fields filled with the 20, 25, 29, or 31 length barcode it should encode it correctly....

You can create several text boxes and suppress them in OnRecordStart rule based on data. You can also create # number of pages and set the page to not be used also. Creating a table is nice too and you should be able to find something on the forum here.

I don't think it's supported for other colors....

Creating a duplicate textbox and layer it right behind the main text box offsetting it slightly will probably be the best option for you.

oh, printing or exporting to your new PDF/Template using Adobe PDF printer or InDesign using those 2 settings as mentioned previously (High Quality Print or Press Quality). Good Luck.

So the High Quality Print or Press Quality worked?

I've had that same error too. It's possible that it's a file size issue. When taking the graphics out of the picture I was able to compose the entire file (mines was around 11,000 records) and heavily artworked too..... The other option is to re-cake the PDF to High Quality Print or Press Quality to make production VDP print files. I haven't gotten anything back from support yet will share when we do....we are still on FusionPro 9.3.36 both Creater and Server. FP error.pdf

sometimes if you use acrobat's native measurement or other editing tools then composed, it can cause acrobat to crash.......don't know if this is the case....just a thought.....

Do you have a sample of your artwork resource and what you're outputting? Sorry I couldn't help initially. But if we can see what you're using it may help.

with my particular example creating a 2 page template..... the first page would call the common static page rule the second page would call the variable back page rule in FPImposer, set document to 2 page per record and your required imposition settings ------------ you would have to have data selection set (proofs) for each back....I'm sure there's a way to script it, but I'm NOT that well verse in that

I've done similar stuff using data to drive the page number to use by creating a graphic rule Pic = CreateResource("//yourPath/yourFileName.pdf", "graphic", true); Pic.pagenumber = Field("yourPageIndicator"); return Pic;

This probably been ask before, but still want to ask..... Are we able to insert a slip sheet at the end of a stack. I only see Beginning of a Stack and Beginning of every # of sheets. Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions.

I get a "1" for each of the slipsheet. Too bad we can't have the option to insert after every # sheet (or last sheet if the # of sheets are not met)

Is there a way to return a group count (count of records in a file split). For example if I have 3,333 records and FPImposing 1000 records per file. My first slipsheet will have print qty of 1000 My 2nd slipsheet will have print qty of 1000 My 3rd slipsheet will have print qty of 1000 My final slipsheet will have print qty of 333. I'm coding an unused page to be used as a slipsheet at the beginning of every 250 sheets. My slipsheet has a textbox with the following content... CUSTOMER: «CUSTOMER» FILENAME: «MYFILENAME» QUANTITY: «MYQTY» KNOWN MISSING PIECES: NOTES: MYFILENAME variable is simply returning the value of return FusionPro.Composition.OpenNewOutputFile("MYFILENAME_PREFIX_"+FormatNumber("0000", FusionPro.Composition.currentOutputFileNumber) + "." + FusionPro.Composition.outputFormatExtension); I can't get the batch record counts programming wise. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Tou

updating to 9.3.36 from 9.3.21 works fixed it (support suggestion)....thanks for all your help.... Processing font "FZChaoCuHei-M10S" (family "FZChaoCuHei-M10S", style "Regular") with script "CHINESE_GB2312" tff_to_pfa_and_fnt: Font C:\Users\Public\Documents\PTI\FusionPro\Fonts\FZChaoCuHei-M10S.otf No glyph name table; using default encoding names: C:\Users\Public\Documents\PTI\FusionPro\Fonts\FZChaoCuHei-M10S.otf

dont see the font listed but first 8 lines are the following..... Current language: English Asian Character Support: Yes Unable to open registry to load PostScript fonts. Try the 64-bit hive. Unable to open registry to load PostScript fonts Continue with other fonts Unable to load PostScript fonts from registry Continue with other fonts I am trying the latest 9.3 patch install and see if it works.

Sorry about that. FusionPro VDP Creator 9.3.21 Windows 7 64-bit

Are there some restrictions to font type....I can't get this font to show up in FP's font selector...can someone verify if they can see the font? Thanks in advancing for confirming! EDIT: Please do not post proprietary font files to this public forum. Doing so almost certainly violates the font's license.

How your PDF was created can help too. High Quality Print type PDFs are really optimized for digitally printing everything (artwork & text). If PPML is slow, then your PDF or PDF/VT options will not be any better. Maybe chunking your print runs to 250/500/750/1000 sets each may help also.

do you have sample for size sake? if not, you can design 1-up and use FPImposion to nUp (6up) imposition for you..... if you are doing peeling labels, where you don't have to cut the stock, just horizontal/vertical counts are needed.

store location: 1. you can create a rule returning the results from external table lookup scripting for the store address that matches mailing address key (id, etc)....or 2. if pre-doing the store addresses prior to fusion pro (location1+<br>+location2+<br>....etc into a field) you can create a rule to return the field checking "treat return strings as tagged text".... overflow portion: 1. you can create/insert overflow page in fusionpro so when a textbox overlow flows it uses the overflow page's text boxes that you've designated for the overflow flowed text.

I would not set bleeds and crop marks in FPImposer then if you want your ID crop marks. In FPImposer set your page size to your full size and gutters/bleeds to 0. Basically stepping the full size PDF. No FP crop marks. If you don't set the clipping of the image correctly artwork that goes beyond the finished size will overlap when nUp'ng....which maybe the reason for covering the crop marks...

You can play with bleeds/crop marks in Impositioning tab during composing or use impositioning file checkbox pointing to FPImposer file. The code you're referencing has to be in two separate rules for two graphic objects later. I'm not sure by your meaning of elegant, but it saves coding if data contains the variable portion of things. CreateResource() allows you to not have to insert resources to the template itself and call from repository/network location. If need be can you upload what you have so far along with results? Good luck!
