Hello, can anyone please help with this? I want a field value to appear within quoted literal text. Here is the current rule. switch (Field("BackCTA").toLowerCase()) case "backCTA.txt".toLowerCase(): return Field("First Name")+ ", Can you believe it's been months already?"; This works just fine as is. Problem is, I want to add the field from the data named "months" so that the final line reads. case "backCTA.txt".toLowerCase(): return Field("First Name")+ ", Can you believe it's been MONTH FIELD months already?";

Thanks ReminderVDP. Yes, it pre-composes to just under 6000 records at a time. Then it just dies, the .msg file doesn't say anything about crashing. But I can start from that record and it composes just fine. It is 65,000 records total and I can compose all instances in 4,000-5,000 increments. Yes, I am sure all kinds of workarounds can be done, but logic tells me that with all the horsepower we have, plus the cost of Producer is roughly 10-12 times the price of just a Acrobat plug-in. That Producer should not fail where the plug- in succeeded. Thanks again :-)

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.

thanks so much for that TOU, appreciated. Yes, I have been pulling my hair out lol.

Whats even stranger is that the exact same PDFs start losing bleed in the imposition where they were fine in the same imposition? Same PDF just different mailing address. Just FYI I am "chunking" at 3200 records into an 8 up FP imposition. Thanks

Hi all, I keep getting an error 2147483647 in one particular composition I am trying to do. It is a very heavy graphics and drop shadow intense piece and it fails at the pre-compose stage. But it does compose 5000 records. It gets to about 6000 records and stops. But, I can start from the failed records and they go fine. It just cannot get past around 6000 records at once. I have tried graphics local and not local, same results. The .msg file does not show any errors. It just goes to a record and just stops, but I can start from that record and it runs fine. The records all produce correctly, but it cannot handle over 6000 records. See attached pic. and . msg file. My server should have enough horsepower, I have 32 gigs RAM, 8 core processing and 250 GB free drive. Thanks in advance

Thank you again! That was absolutely perfect!!

function getOrdinal(n) { var s = ["th","st","nd","rd"]; return n + (s[(n-20)%10] || s[n] || s[0]); } MyDate = DateFromString(Field("f123_DueToRenewDateString")) ; return FormatDate(MyDate, "lm d").replace(/(\d+)$/, getOrdinal);

I apologize, I am still learning this coding. It was not intentional. Is there a way to superscript the ordonial? With a tag? </superscript>

So sorry, I appreciate your help tremendously, but I need the ordonial to reflect the day. So, my data cell says 5/13/17. Right now it is reflecting the year. I need it to be the day. Please. I also need that ordonial to be superscript.

Thanks for the help Dan. Very appreciated! Ok, I will look more thoroughly at the example and change what you suggested. Thank you again.

Hi Dan, what I mean by "lift", is in the composition window, I check "output to multiple files" and I set the record count. That count is a "lift". As it stands, if I choose 2400 records in a 240000 record job, I will get 24 "lifts" imposed. One lift every 2400 records (4 up-600 page imposition) automatically named during composition ie. 12345_ACME_01.pdf, 12345_ACME_02.pdf, 12345_ACME_03.pdf etc... I sent you a previous example sheet. I will send another one along with the template. One banner sheet per lift. Put into the first imposition position with the banner sheet providing info. during the composition process.Impo test.zip

That did it!!! Thank You!!!! Much obliged!

Thank you Step, your help is very appreciated, but please see attached pic of error :-(

Hi all, here is the code I used, and it is working for half my issue. But, I still need to find a way to get the "st" "th" and/or "nd" on the end of the number. Any suggestions? MyDate = DateFromString(Field("f123_DueToRenewDateString")); return FormatDate(MyDate, "lm dd"); Right now, this returns ex. January 10, which is good but I need January 10th. Yes, I have seen the other posts about ordinals, but it does not really make sense to me based on my current code. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, we are going to be upgrading to Producer in the next week or so. But, the issue I have is trying to get a banner sheet composed on the fly for each set of records per "lift", for the benefit of the pressroom and bindery. Hoping to not have to go to 3rd party Imposing solution. I have read in the manual the codes shown below, but I just cannot seem to make it work. FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetBackgroundFrontPage= "FrontPageName"; FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetBackgroundBackPage = "BackPageName"; FusionPro.Composition.impositionSheetSlugText Please see attached PDF of an example of what we are looking for. This would be the first position of each "lift" of 2400 records. Thank you in advance. Banner.pdf

Hello all, I searched for the question I have, but didn't see anything, nor did I perhaps phrase it correctly. Is there anyway to catch a unique ID built when sending out imposed PDFs? The issue: We had about 60000 PDFs come in strictly needing to be imposed, we could make 2D codes and/or provide an automated sequence number for each one, but viewing all the imposed PDFs for duplicates is really not an option. Is there a way for Fusion to know it only created a code once? Keep in mind, we have no way of telling the source PDFs apart, short of non-presorted addresses. Thanks in advance :-)

Don, this is not working for me. Is there more to the script? I just type that into a callback rule? Sorry, still learning. What would be the exact script? My issue is I have a 700 page pdf. No data, just simply want to step up in Imposer. 1 page of the pdf stepped up 30 times, then page 2 of the pdf stepped up 30 times, etc... Thank you for your help

Thank you very much! I will give that a try as well.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! I appreciate your help tremendously!!!

Yes I have, I seen the very thread you pointed me to. But it does not make sense to me. I have no variable data. In the example there is text file, pdf files etc... Just very confused on what should be a straight forward issue. I am new and trying to make sense of why all this code is needed.

Anybody? I need help please.

I have a project that has 1000 page PDF. I simply want to have the pages go to FP Imposer from Fusion Pro. Still learning so please be kind if this is a silly question :-) So basically there is a front and back for each piece within the PDF document. Do I make a new document that is 2 pages with a graphic rule on each page? I just want it to go front back, front back etc... no variable involved at all. Just simply want to se Fusion as a "window" to get to FP Imposer.

Dan, thank you so much for your help. Rookie mistake, I was so caught up in the version change that I simply did not have the correct font selected. :o

It appears the Java error is fixed, but the tags error is not. Can I not preview the barcode?
