Normally I use the alpha, which is supplied by my internal Mailing department. In this instance, I am being supplied a list by an outside vendor. The routing number is 12 digits instead of 11 causing the overall field count to be 32, which results in an error, the routing string bad length
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.
-
No, I have not tried that. But, I am not sure exactly what you mean. Most of my pages are all body pages already in the Fusion document.
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.
-
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.

updating to 9.3.36 from 9.3.21 works fixed it (support suggestion)....thanks for all your help....

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.

This is exactly how I am doing it. Marcom told me in a support email that the imposition tab will not affect how it prints vs how it previews, except to add crop marks. Nevertheless, it still erases the ID designated bleed in the placed files if I dont put out the blank master PDF on which I am placing the artwork as full size (no implied bleed set in ID). AND Additionally... either way, it still puts the crops behind the artwork using FPimposer. They asked me to send them a sample job which I have done and i am awaiting word back on that particular bug. I dont get this implementation of bleed and crops in general though, it makes no sense.
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...

FOLLOWUP QUESTION:
I dont understand why when i make the blank page 8.5x5.5 plus bleed in indesign, and then place a graphic frame on top of it measuring 8.75x5.75 and Variable call a page 8.5x5.5 with .125 bleed (8.75x5.75) it cuts off the image that .125 on all four edges? EDITED IN LATER: I played with it, and it seems to be entirely predicated on the blank PDF. This sucks, because I was hoping by NOT making the blank PDF 8.75x5.75 no bleed using FPImposer would let the crop marks appear on top of the artwork rather than below. I dont get that result it makes no sense, crops should always be on top like in ID.
I cant really go much more as the run sheet is 12x18 and obviously there is gripper.
What is the logic of FP there? I dont get it.
Additionally, if i understand wht is happening in the script here, it seemed like a logical choice to combine these two methods you both suggested into one combined code to simplify? It does work so far, and if I am correct it will allow me to dictate with less code by using the "agent" field which is more elegant.
FRONT pdf = CreateResource(Field("agent") + ".pdf", "graphic", true); pdf.pagenumber = 1; return pdf; BACK pdf = CreateResource(Field("agent") + ".pdf", "graphic", true); pdf.pagenumber = 2; return pdf;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!
