  1. Our license for FusionPro states that the "serial number can be used to install both products on the same device." FusionPro loaded correctly and works fine. However, when we enter the serial number to register Expressions, or even copy and paste from the FP license activation, it states "The serial number is invalid. Please try again." We emailed support a month ago and still have no answer. Anybody have any thoughts? Windows 10 FP v12.0.1 Exp v3.2 Acrobat Pro DC 2020
  2. Thank you SOOOO MUCH! We struggled with this for quite a while, and threw everything we knew at it. I know sometimes questions can seem menial, like we should know this, or it's obvious, but . . . I really appreciate you taking the time to post a response. You just saved us from losing a fairly large job. Can't thank you enough.
  3. We are using a tab indent on a particular line. When the variable text line is too long and automatically re-flows to the next line, it does not retain the tab indention. We've looked everywhere and can't figure out how to make this maintain the tab structure for text re-flow of the same text block. Any thoughts? Thanks
  4. I'm having some issues getting my fill images to display. I'm using seven different PNG files which are roughly 450x450 pixels in size. I've uploaded them to the fill set and have the image personalization set to "fill randomly." But nothing is being displayed. I also noticed that no files are listed in the library tab...not sure if that factors in as well. When I change the personalization to "Nodes" it works fine and you are able to see the images. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  5. Sorry - I've searched and can't find a solution that is appropriate. We were having font problems with FP Desktop v7.xx. Thinking it was the older version, upgraded to Creator 9.3, still having same problems. Standard TrueType fonts loaded in the system are not rendering properly, either in the preview, or in the final composition. Right now, struggling with Cambria, which I believe is a basic Windows system font. It states: Font <Cambria> normal style is not loaded, using italic style of this font family. It is loaded. We've deleted and re-loaded with the font set from another system, in the event it was corrupt. The font works fine in other applications. We've reloaded all fonts through the menu while in Acrobat. As a side note, when I try to use the FontLoader.exe in the PTI folder, it quickly flashes up on the screen and then instantly disappears. So that is no help. Coincidence? Impossible to work like this and getting frustrating. Can anyone offer help or suggestion? As usual, under tight deadlines, and this has been happening quite frequently. Windows 7 Pro Acrobat 10 Pro VDP Creator 9.3.21 Thank you
  6. We need to create a UPC-A barcode. Can't find the font in the Printable folder, our fonts folder and searches show nothing, anywhere. Found where we can buy IDAutomation fonts online. Anybody know anything about this? Thanks!
  7. Greatly appreciated Dan. We're using FP Desktop with Expression. Because we're green when it comes to Javascript, I'd assume I can view the JS for the individual rule and then add the modification you show to give us the correct result? Is there a place I'm not seeing with the rules editor that allows this, or is this just something that's beyond the editor and must be handled manually? Thanks
  8. There may be a simple explanation, but darned if we can find it. If we have an Expression that will say "Linda's Beach" for example, with 'Linda' being the data variable, how do we set up the expression? It is for a calendar layout where we will call upon unique expressions for each month. We can't build the non-variable text into the design, as it must move to accommodate the length of the variable names. Any thoughts appreciated - thanks in advance!
  9. Thanks Dan. I saw that, but wasn't sure if there had since been an implementation by PTI that I was unaware of. We'll use the ol' picture rule method. Thanks again for such a quick response!
  10. Not sure if this belongs here or on the Expression forum, and I did do a search for 'transparency' but I don't think this question was answered. I created an image with transparency that was loaded as a background image in my Expression. It seems to retain the transparency in the Expression layout on the screen. When I use the integrated Expression generator directly in FusionPro Desktop to create the final variable images, it exports with a white background. I see a checkbox in FP that says 'save alpha channel', but I'm not sure what this refers to specifically, and whether it even applies to my situation? Other than that, is there a place to set the graphic type (PNG, TIF) that you want exported when FusionPro does its magic, as if I was doing it manually with the engine? Or is the answer to do it manually, and then import the image into my layout as a graphic rule? Thanks for any ideas on this -
  11. Thanks Dan. Thorough answer and very helpful. We'll get started with your suggestions and see where it takes us.
  12. Thanks Dan. Is there documentation available for getting our feet wet with JS? I don't have a programmer on staff, but collectively we know enough to cheat here and there when we have to. The forum is helpful, but the information is fragmented. Does PTI have any documentation for beginners, or at the very least, how to apply custom programming? Or does the program allow basic editor functionality, but for more robust use we need a programmer? I've searched the Copyfitline results, and we're still unclear exactly where to apply this coding within FP Desktop for our situation. I know this stuff can get very specialized, but can you point me to anything as a resource? Thanks
  13. I seem to have trouble with text formatting within the same text block. For example, within the text block I will have a hard return with a Personalized URL centered. I would like to constrain this URL in case this variable is too long for some names to fit the width of the block. I believe I am doing this correctly, but it still jumps to two lines for the longer names. I've selected "Do Not Break on Copyfit", as well as "Adjust Text to Fit" in the 'Overflow' setting. Can this formatting only be applied to an entire text block, rather than just individual lines? And if applied to the entire text block, does it work on items (such as this) that are delineated by a hard return? Because of the flow of variables within the text, I can't make this PURL a separate text block. It must be part of the larger text area so it all moves down the page as needed with longer variables. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
