[Can tabs be suppressed?]

Thanks for the QUICK reply, Dan!! 

Yes I did that and ...  oddly it seemed to suppress 'everything' but the following paragraph!  No variable acct #s showed up! 

??  weird..

 

[Can tabs be suppressed?]

Basic question.. I'm a neophyte..  Can 'tabs' not be suppressed? 

I have a list of acct. # ...  sometimes up to 4-5 lines...  and I have a paragraph of copy following that I want to 'move' up into position below the last line..  but the acct #'s are 'centered' under a heading with centering tabs.. 

But if I have 5 lines of acct #s with tabs.. the tabs are read as copy & not suppressed, apparently..  my following copy paragraph stays down below all 5 'empty' lines, even with only 1 acct. # up there!

Can FP not ignore tabs with empty fields?

NOTE: I know -zero- Javascript!

 

[Embarrassing 2-page PDF help?]

Rudimentary FP user ( Ver. 9.3.36) here..

I have a mail list, couple thousand people, each one get one of 7 versions of a postcard ( Auto Loan, Checking, Credit Card, etc)

 

John Doe has a field "OB-AUTO" ( he gets Auto postcard)

Jane Doe has a field "OB-CC" ( she gets Credit Card postcard)

 

I've done numerous mailings switching out the "front only" of a flyer ( different bank branch info & picture) - all have common backers.

 

But THIS job, the postcard front & back are specific to each version.

 

My graphic "switch" rule only allows me to pick a certain resource, & as a result, always puts in page 1 (front) of the selected PDF ( Auto, Credit Card, etc)

 

I'm trying to figure out how to get the front & back placed correctly, per each name requirements, so I can impose it afterwards in FPImposer.

 

I -hope- I've explained this adequately?

And I'm sorry for those of you that are surely chuckling at something likely so basic that you can do it with your eyes closed.

 

I know -nothing- of Javascript, & I'm thinking that's the probable path to my solution.

 

Happy "Thursday-leading-into-Labor Day-weekend" !! Enjoy!

Thanks,

Tim

Dan - my 'sequence of steps' was not necessarily chronological, but I understand you thinking it may be so. I was just listing things I had tried. ( actually several times, in several sequences!)

 

I -knew- It wasn't loaded; I know about font family naming anomalies.. I looked deeply & tried several sample compositions anyway. I just had to confirm for myself ... and did.

 

That said - I did eMail support & they replied very promptly! ( I LOVE good customer support! Thanks PTI!)

 

They had me install a patch release of 9.3.36, replacing my 9.3.26 - that fixed my issues immediately!

 

ALL IS WELL!

 

Thanks, Dan, for trying to help, and all the help I see you providing in these forums!

Much appreciated!!

Darn - I have done the "restart" thing..

 

Is this forum not an OK place to ask how people solve 'font-loading' problems?

 

Sorry - It seemed like the right place to post?

 

Thanks...

I'm sorry... Mac OS 10.11.6 (el Capitan) & FusionPro 9.3.26

[getting a certain font!]

I've looked thru the "Fonts" threads & have tried a few things..

 

But I can't get "proximanova-regular-webfont.ttf" to load for a variable text frame!

 

"Load new fonts"

"Load all fonts"

Put the font in the Mac's /Library/Fonts folder

Put the font in /Library/Preferences/PTI/FusionPro/Fonts folder

Activated in Suitcase

Restarted Acrobat & FusionPro after "Load all/new fonts"

Restarted the Mac itself

 

That font won't show up in my text frame list! ( other Proxima Nova's do, but not "regular"!

 

Help? ( I admit I'm a newbie at this, but... I'm getting variable graphics to switch out, etc. pretty proud of myself there, I just need this one font available!!!)

 

Thanks..

Tim
