I have a sequential numbering rule that's counting from 1 to 300,000. I also need to create a rule that will print the number '1' during the first 10,000, number '2' during the second 10,000...and so on. Is there an easier way to accomplish this than creating a Drag n Drop rule with 30 'IF Greater than and Less than' components? Just wondering.

Tou, Your output is exactly what I want. I have the rule you mentioned created. Do I need to blow away the other rules that 'Step' mentoned? If not, I'm still getting an error on line 10 of that rule.

This may help explain. I've attached a file. I suppressed the static info, to avoid any confidentiality issues. You can see the numbering stays the same for 18 pages (9, 2-sided pieces of artwork) and then moving to up the next number. I want the entire sheet to count up with the same art (first 2 pages) and then move to pages 3 and 4 and repeat the process starting at 001. I hope this helps

I am not using a data file to determine which artwork to pull in. I implemented all the javascript you supplied, and I received an error message on the OnRecordStart rule. It says I'm missing a variable name on line 10. I apologize if I missed an obvious step.

I have an 18 page PDF file, which contains the front and back of 9 different pieces of artwork. All 9 get numbered on the front, the exact same numbering. (1 - 600) Is it possible to print all 9 at one time and have them compose each piece? I have a layout I made in composer which is 6-up, stack set to infinite. I want it to stack print 1-100 in position 1, and 101-200 in position 2, and so forth, of just the first 2 pages (piece 1 of 9 2-sided) then start piece 2 and repeat until all 9 are done. My finished document would be a 1800 page document with the first 200 pages containing the numbering artwork (1-600) of Piece 1, and so forth. I hope I explained this well enough.

I need to create a rule that starts a sequential number sequence. Once it hits 10,000 it needs to restart back to 1 and repeat the sequence. I'm guessing it's a fairly easy JavaScript formula. Maybe not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds good. FYI, the data I attached was only a sample. There are actually 38,000+ records, with 312 different customer ID's. I'm guessing all that you wrote will still apply.

Sorry. Can this be done with FusionPro? How?

Attached you will see a PDF file that has 3 columns in it. There is also a data list attached that has multiple columns. What the customer is looking for is the Center ID number and Center name to be printed side by side underneath the “Study.Earn.Redeem” wording. Then they would like the ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’ underneath the ‘Student Name’ and the ‘Bonus Points’ under the ‘Bonus Points’. This will reoccur until a three columns are filled. (I was able to get 48 per column at 12pt font size, Helvetica Light Condensed) The interesting part is when the Center ID changes. The list is grouped alphabetically by Center ID number. When we reach a New Center ID, they want to stop printing on the current sheet and start a New sheet. In addition, they like to be able to print a slip sheet at the beginning of each new Center (there are 312 of them) that will contain the Center name and ID number, as well as a 3 of 9 barcode that contains the Center ID number.

Dan, I copied and pasted the syntax for the OnCopy rule, and I still received the warning message. Is there another way to make the longer text fields fit, without using that rule?

I have a column that contains text in different lengths, so I am using the 'Adjust Text to Overflow' function so it will size down text that is too long. This is working great, except when that field is empty, it then gives me this message- OnCopyfit, line 3: warning: Could not copyfit text in flow My quantity is 0ver 24,000 and I have 5 columns where this is happening. Is it possible to acomplish this task with out getting a ton of 'fake' error messages?

That's it! I really want to thank you very much for all your patience. Have a good day.

I was able to fix the images being cut-off on 2 sides. All looks good with one small exception,which is probably an easy fix for eveyone except me. I need to add spce between the images and where the phone number starts. (see attached pdf.)

Taht was it. Thank you. Please take a look at the attached jpg file. The images are being cut-off on the left and the bottom. I've tried changing all the settings in each of the resources, as well as within the text box, but nothing is affecting the images. I double-checked the images. They are vector from Illustrator. Is the problem that they are circles?

That definately got rid of that error. When I validate, it says expression ok. However, when I preview, all I see is the a bunch of text from the rule. I have that one rule placed in a varible text box. Should I have done something else? see attached screen shot.

What am I doing wrong? (I uploaded a screen shot - rule_problem.jpg)

I have a business card that has a possibility of 1, 2 or 3 phone numbers on it. They are stacked ontop of each other. The each have a corresponding image to the left of the number (Cell image, Phone image and Fax image) When there are less than 3 numbers, the correct image needs to appear next to the corresponding number, and the empty spaces need to disappear. The baseline for the numbers will be centered from top to bottom within the text box. I've created image rules to place the images, but I do not know how to have them float. I know how to do this with text, but not images. What's the best solution? I uploaded a file named 'phone_number.jpg' which shows the layout.

It looks to me like there is no way of printing skewed, variable text, from within FusionPro. If that is correct, what would be a good third party alternative?

Can Fusionpro generate ITF 14 barcodes?

We would be printing multiple up. The difference is that the envelope would need to fit inside a 'die' layout set-up by the envelope converting house. Usually, they have the envelope rotated to accomodate as many on a press sheet as possible. I've attached a PDF of a layout to show an example.

This may sound crazy, but my employer wants me to investigate the options for printing variable data on an envelope that will need to be converted, after it's been printed. I would like to use a 1-up file for creation, but I'm not certain if I can get the FP Imposer to layout the multiple up envelopes for conversion. Does this make sense?

I figured it out. if (Field("LASTDONATIONAMOUNT").length == 0) { return "you."; } else { return "you. Your last gift of $" + Field("LASTDONATIONAMOUNT") + " was truly appreciated, and I hope you'll consider a similar, or slightly increased, gift this year "; }

I think that will work. However, my conditional variable falls within a sentence. Here it is "Your last gift of _______ was truly appreciated, and I hope you’ll consider a similar, or slightly increased, gift this year." Can you tell me whaty I need to do to have text before and after the condtional variable?

I have a line of text that will contain a variable, only if that field in the CSV file is not empty. If the field is empty, I need line of text to not appear. (example.."Thank you for your donation of <<donation field>>) If <<donation field>> contains a number, then both the line of text and the variable print, if the <<donation field>> is empty, I need the line of text to not print. Any ideas?

I figured it out. =RAND() command in excel.
