The 1096 error is a general abort error that FusionPro can throw when an unexpected error occurs. We've seen this error be thrown when there are read/write issues with the composition process including read-only files/folders or lack of disk space.
Do you see this error immediately when the composition starts, or does it happen part-way through the composition?
Now there's a number of things you can try here to resolve this. Hopefully one of the following items will resolve this issue for you:
1) Make sure you have sufficient free disk space.
2) Make sure you have read/write permission to the folders where the base template files reside as well as the requested output folder. Even if your user account has admin privileges, check to make sure the folders themselves have read/write set on them.
3) (Assuming this is a FusionPro Desktop composition vs. a FusionPro Direct or Server composition) Delete any files in the folder where your PDF template resides that have extensions of .dif, .def, and .cfg. These are FusionPro files that are generated automatically when you compose with FusionPro Desktop based on the template and composition information located inside the PDF template itself. They will be regenerated on the next composition.
4) Try re-saving your PDF template in Acrobat to a new PDF file name via a "Save As". Acrobat will re-write the PDF template to disk and this sometimes can clean up bogus corruption data in the PDF itself.
5) If all the above fails, try and re-export your template from InDesign/Quark. You have 2 options here:
-
Option 1 -First, make a backup of your PDF template. Then, follow the steps that user
"Open Indesign, make change, export out using the FP plugin, replace your FusionPro pdf that has all the variable done to it, when the pdf opens in Acrobat, click "NO," you do not want to replace the work that has been done. and re-import the FusionPro template information from your original files (the data definition info as well as the template layout)."
- Option 2 - Short of re-doing all the work to design your template again, this method allows you to import all the FP settings from your original template. First, recrete the static PDF background (via an InDesign/Quark export to a new PDF or other means you use to make the PDF background). Then, you can import the data definition using the data definition wizard (3rd option on the first screen of the wizard) where you point to the .def file from your original template. This gives you the association to the data input file, the rules, and the resources of the original job. Next, you can import the FusionPro variable frame layout by going to FusionPro -> Advanced -> Import. Here, you point to the original PDF template file itself. This gives you, among other items, the frames with their settings and content.
Finally, if you get this far and are still seeing the 1096, please contact our support team for further troubleshooting.
