    Impose PDF cut and stack without data?

    in Imposition

    Posted

    Here's a technique that Ste Pennell posted a while back

     

    OnJobStart:

    FusionPro.Composition.composeAllRecords = false;
    FusionPro.Composition.endRecordNumber = 4; // Number of cards you have

     

    OnRecordStart:

    FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 500; // Quantity of each card

    var card = CreateResource("path/to/resource/YOURPDFNAME.pdf",'graphic',true);
    card.countpages;
    card.pagenumber = CurrentRecordNumber();

    FindGraphicFrame("YOURGRAPHICFRAMENAME").SetGraphic(card);

     

    Return elements of an array unless they contain a PO Box

    in The JavaScript Library

    Posted

    Hello,

    I'm using a script from the forum to feed values into an array and then return only the fields that contain an address.

    The problem is I don't want to return the field if the address is a PO Box.

    I've tried a number of things, but can't quit get there...

    Here's my script where it stands now:

    //Create array to deal with multiple options

    var listOptions = []; //declare array
    var outlaw = /^(?:Post(?:al)? (?:Office )?|P[. ]?O\.? )?Box(?:\s\d+)?$/i;


    for (i=1;i<=3;i++) { //setup loop to cycle through optional fields (must match number of fields)
        var option = Field("Address"+i);
        if ((option != "")  && (option != outlaw)) { //if the optional field is not blank  and doesn't contain "PO Box" then add to array
            listOptions.push(option);
        }
    }
        return listOptions.join(", "); //list the array values separated by comma + space

     

    Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount

    in FusionPro® VDP Creator

    Posted

    Hello,

     

     

    I'm wondering if there is a way to use FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount, but return

     

    a different field when repeating.

     

     

    Such as this in OnRecordStart:

     

     

    FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 2;

    if (Field("FULLNAME2") != " ") FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 4;

     

     

     

    The above repeats the record 4 times, but I need the 3rd and 4th (or 5th and 6th, etc) to return (Field("FULLNAME2") instead of always returning

     

    (Field("FULLNAME")

     

     

    Is there a way to do this, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

     

     

    Thanks for any advice!

    Call Unused Body Pages with Different qantities for each page

    in The JavaScript Library

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

     

    I'm trying to compose a job that has 15 different pages and each page has it's own quantity. I assumed the best way to do this is to set each page to Unused Body page and then call the page and qty in an OnRecordStart rule

    I should also add that each record is a store, each with 15 different pages.

     

     

    I've been cobbling a rule, but I'm not quite there. I know this must be possible. I've attached what I have so far.

     

     

     

    Thanks for any help you can supply!

    Sequential Numbering with gaps

    in Issues, Questions, Etc.

    Posted

    Hi,

     

     

    I'm wondering if there is a way to use the a Callback rule to generate a sequence of numbers that has gaps in it.

     

     

    Example:

     

     

    1-40

    50-90

    100-140

    150-190

    200-240

    250-290, etc.

     

     

    I have a customer who wants numbering that does not contain 41-49 or 91-99 in the number sequence. It seems like you should be able to do this using Callback rule with javascript. Using trim on the last 9 of every group of 50? This probably be 3,000 to 5,000 numbers.

     

     

    Any suggestions are much appreciated!

    Make a table with formatted text that flows below

    in Getting Started

    Posted

    Hello,

     

     

    I"m new to working with tables in FusionPro and I have a problem I can't resolve. Part of the job I'm working on has a table with anywhere from 1 to 8 possible rows, then 4 rows of totals flush right. There is also formatted text below this that must move with the table size (1 to 8 rows).

     

     

    I've been able to handle the first 8 rows by altering a SteP script from the forum which surpresses a row based on a field, but I can't get past these 8 rows.

     

     

     

    Here's where my script is at:

     

     

    var fields = [[Field("Plan/Item 1 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 1 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 1 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 1 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 1 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 1 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 1 Total")],

    [Field("Plan/Item 2 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 2 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 2 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 2 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 2 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 2 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 2 Total")],

    [Field("Plan/Item 3 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 3 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 3 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 3 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 3 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 3 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 3 Total")],

    [Field("Plan/Item 4 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 4 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 4 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 4 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 4 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 4 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 4 Total")],

    [Field("Plan/Item 5 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 5 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 5 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 5 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 5 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 5 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 5 Total")],

    [Field("Plan/Item 6 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 6 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 6 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 6 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 6 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 6 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 6 Total")],

    [Field("Plan/Item 7 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 7 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 7 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 7 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 7 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 7 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 7 Total")],

    [Field("Plan/Item 8 Name"), Field("Plan/Item 8 QTY"), Field("Plan/Item 8 Sec"), Field("Plan/Item 8 Row"), Field("Plan/Item 8 Block"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 8 Per"), "$"+ Field("Plan/Item 8 Total")],

    ]

     

    var myTable = new FPTable;

    myTable.AddColumns(19400, 4300, 4500, 4500, 8200, 7200, 6000);

    myTable.AddRows(9);

     

    for (var i=0; i<9; i++) {

    if (fields[2] != "NULL") {

    //myTable.Rows.Cells[0].SetBorders("Thin","Black","Top","Bottom","Right","Left");

    myTable.Rows.CopyCells(0,1,2,3,4,5,6);

    myTable.Rows.Cells[0].HAlign = "Left";

    myTable.Rows.SetContents(fields[0], fields[1], fields[2], fields[3], fields[4], fields[5], fields[6]);

    }

    }

     

    return myTable.MakeTags();

     

     

    _____________________________________________________________

     

    I've made a formatted text resource and added it after the table, but it still sees the table as 8 rows even if they aren't visible.

     

     

    Please see attached screenshot for clarity

     

     

     

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Insert a graphic based on the field changing

    in The JavaScript Library

    Add system info

    Hello,

     

    I've found a few things in the forum about this, but no clear answer. I'm trying to mark the piece when the Tray Number changes on a postcard mailing so Bindery can quickly see where the next tray begins.

     

    I've tried using this in OnRecordStart:

     

    if (FieldChanged("TRAYNUMBER"))

    FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Break", true);

     

    This does not work when used with FPImposer. I get messages like this in the log file:

     

    "Composing record #12, input record 918

    Sheet #5, record #4

    The number of pages in this record does not match the imposition signature: 2 blank pages will be added.

    A body page does not have master page assigned."

     

    If I compose the file without imposition it works, BUT marks the second piece of the new tray (!?)

     

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
