  1. I have 54 folders that contain images I need for a variable job. I cannot combine all the images into one folder, because my customer has used the same filename in different folders, and those images are actually different. Is it possible to have the software select the image by first finding the correct sub folder (which is a column in the database) and then matching the filename (which is a different column in the database)?
  2. Thank you, Dan. I actually found one of your posts late yesterday, with the same solution. But, it just isn't working. I'm very familiar with UNC paths so the solution made perfect sense. I've even placed the path in the Producer Configuration. No luck. I've checked all permissions for Sharing on my PC and the PC that Producer is running on and it all checks out. I don't get any errors, I just get blank pages where those images are supposed to be. I'll keep Hammering away at it.
  3. I accidentally asked this question in the Producer area, I apologize.

    I have a variable job that has the 1st page that has a letter with some variable fields. Starting with the second page I need to place a 3-page PDF, which will become pages 2-4, for a total of a 4-page document. The filenames are in a field in the data file. I have created a resource for the 3-page PDF files. Then I created a rule for each of the pages. I've attached all the files for what I did. It's a test sample, instead of loading all 300 records. Still, when I validate the rule I get an error that my resource doesn't exist, when it clearly does. I tried another method I found on the forum and it was crazy confusing. Please Help!

  4. That worked like a charm. I tweaked it a bit for the proper colors and to add a space between the numbers.

    I also duped a section to add a extension to the Office number. I need the 'ext' to be black as well as the actual extension number, and a '.' after the ext instead of a ':' colon. Can that be done? (Code below)

     

    function format_phone(prefix, phone_num)

    {

    if (phone_num)

    return '<span color="PANTONE BLUE 072 U">' + prefix + ": " + '</span><span color="Black">' + phone_num + '</span>';

    else

    return false;

    }

     

    var numbers = [format_phone("<b> Office</b>", Field("Office")), format_phone("<b> ext</b>", Field("Ext")), format_phone("<b> Direct</b>", Field("Direct")), format_phone("<b> Cell</b>", Field("Cell"))];

     

    return numbers.filter(Boolean).join(" ");

  5. I picked this rule in a post from 2013. What am I missing? The Labels (Office, Direct, Cell) still appear when the cell is empty. I should also add that I need to labels for each a particular font and color, and the actual phone numbers a separate font and color. I'll upload my csv file and a jpg image to show.

     

    var numbers = ["Office: " + Field("Office"),"Direct: " + Field("Direct"),"Cell: " + Field("cell")];

    return numbers.filter(function(s){return s.length>4;}).join(" ");

  6. I have a paragraph that contains a variable (first name) at the beginning. Because the name changes in number of characters, I have re-set the paragraph text in a FusionPro text box. The static text in in spanish. How can I get FusionPro to accent the 'O's and 'N's like the spanish text?
  7. I am going to run a job 3-up on a sheet. I need to number each of the first 3 records on sheet 1 with a 1, the next 3 on sheet 2 with a 2, and so on. I tried to use the CallBackPageCount and CallBackPageNumber, but both just give me a 1 on all records. Can anyone help?
  8. Here's the message I get when I run the rule. The field has 30 numerals in it, so I changed the number in the rule from 12 to 30 in both places. I also inserted the field name.

     

    Word <font=> does not fit in frame after line 1.

    The amount of text inserted into a flow exceeds the depth

    of all frames in the flow <>. Text is truncated.

    Text does not fit in the last frame on page 1 at (0.30, 0.11).

  9. I m going to add some specifics to this. I understand that the 128 bar code will automatically switch between A,B and C to give the best possible bar code. What we need is a rule that will fail if a set number of digits are not present (like on a UPC code) and if there are any 'Alpha' or 'Special' characters (non-numerical) in the data. I know we can verify all this in the data before ever getting to FP, but our customer is telling us that our competition is able to do this. ( I have my doubts, but I don't know everything) So, can a rule be made to verify the contents of a record are numeric only and have a set number of characters?
  10. Hello fellow creators. The company I work for has a customer insisting that we create a 128 C barcode in order to be eligible for a big job. I see where there are rules built-in to Creator for 128 and 128 B. Is there a way to create a 128 C?
