  1. Oh that used to happen to me alot. Lower the display resolution on the VNC side.(Not on Mac) This also fixes lag between the two. Hope that helps.
  2. It also depends if your template is duplex or simplex if duplex enter that number x2.
  3. Alex, To anyone who asks about this. Cause I just figured it out:confused:. Divide the number of imposition by the output records needed. Input that number in the count box of Stack in Imposer. Then in the Composition Settings>output to multiple files enter total records per file. In my example it worked like this: 4/10,000=2500 stack count . 10k for total records per file. 85K file now splits into 10K pdfs each. A total of 85 file were present. In the other example: 4/16=4 stack count 16 for total records per file. So if the record file is 32.Two files output.
  4. I thought if I re-define the data then "Wizard" it would work but it hasn't. Any ideas out there?
  5. No it is not open in excel. I never open it. What is the check box for "Ignore Repeat Record during Composition" under input for?
  6. Hello all, I recently upgraded to FusionPro 8.2.7 and so far everything works fine. Exempt when I get new data every day then proceed to trash it out to replace new one in its place the next day. Naturally FusionPro dialog says " Failed to open" do I want to relocate file now. And that's where my problem is. It does not go the original location so that is where I have to re-establish the link to the data source and I have to do that every time. I made sure I hit save at the Composition Settings before I compose. It worked before the upgrade. And the data is not that far removed. I did notice that the Printable folder in the Applications folder is now named PTI. Is my user name not being identified? -Tony Screen shot 2013-03-05 at 10.56.02 AM.pdf
  7. Sorry. Wrong one. This is the one I converted in excel. 139272-lot5-aud_test.txt
  8. Dan, I was able to change my data file to Unicode (UTF-16) in Excel but the Header and field names are now on one line. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
  9. Dan, The Data file I get is a comma delimted text file. Can I can change it to a Unicode (UTF-16) data file?
  10. Hello all, I'm trying to output a letter with an address block with Brazilian Addresses. I can see the in Preview Record Selector that the accents are coming in but that is what is not printing. I tried all 7 encoding languages from the Define Data Source Dialog box but no luck there. Is there logic for this to translate correctly? Thanks, Tony
  11. I've built a rule to print out today's date but now I want to create an expiration date based on today's date. I want to print a new date 90 days from now. This is what I have as a rule for print date: { var months = new Array(12); months[0] = "1"; months[1] = "2"; months[2] = "3"; months[3] = "4"; months[4] = "5"; months[5] = "6"; months[6] = "7"; months[7] = "8"; months[8] = "9"; months[9] = "10"; months[10] = "11"; months[11] = "12"; var current_date = new Date(); month_value = current_date.getMonth(); day_value = current_date.getDate(); year_value = current_date.getFullYear(); return (months[month_value] + "/" + day_value + "/" + year_value); }
  12. Where did you get the update to Acrobat 9.5? This is what I have as my rule maybe this can help. dataForBarcode = Field("field you want to encode"); dmBarcodeObj = new DataMatrixBarcode('', '', ''); dmBarcodeObj.pointSize = 4; dmBarcodeObj.encodingMode = "BASE256"; markupData = dmBarcodeObj.Make(dataForBarcode); return markupData;
  13. Right now I compose one file at time then change the data file rename the output file then hit compose. So that as soon as it finishes the other one starts. I repeat the same process over and over. Kinda of tedious! I'm trying to find logic/script to deal with multiple data files then output composed files(PDF) with the name of the data file. I found this logic and manipulated it how I think it should work. externalDF = new ExternalDataFileEx('/Users/tony/Desktop/Gold 2012/Data/POD-DOM-GRA-V1-1.txt', ','); or maybe it should loop like Dan Korn's logic: var result = ""; for (var i = 1; i <= ID_Numbers.recordCount; i++) { if (ID_Numbers.GetFieldValue(i, "ID") == Field("ID")) { result += ID_Numbers.GetFieldValue(i, "Name") + ", " + ID_Numbers.GetFieldValue(i, "Location") + ", " + ID_Numbers.GetFieldValue(i, "Date"); } } return result; How do I define ID numbers? Insert the path of the Data on my desktop?
  14. So I enter 85K in the true value of my stack. Do leave not check "Output to multiple files" box in the Composition Settings pop dialogue? Or I do and enter 10000 in the number of records and Type in 9 for the "Different number of records in the first file" Or do I have those backwards.
  15. I wanted to see if there was a way to split a large record file (85K) into increments of 10K. I would like it to output into separate PDFs. What I tried: On imposer I set the count to 10K under Stack. Gave a large file. On FusionPro in the Composition settings I check the "Output to multiple file" set it to 10K. I did not know what to enter in the Different number of records in the first file box. It errored out at Compose part saying "The number of records in not compatible with imposition setting.The number in a chunk is being adjusted". That gives me large record. Thanks for you help. -Tony
  16. I got it work now. I had to re-save them in FusionPro 5 imposer then copied them over. Thanks:D
  17. Dan, I get an the error when I try to correct the path in the imposition panel and when I try to ready directly from imposer. I'm using version 10.6.7 on the Mac. I attached screen shot of the errors. Thanks, tony
  18. I downloaded latest version of 7.2P1d for Mac but now my impostions that I've using since version 4 don't seem to load now. I hate that I have to re-create them all over again. I tried removing the extension to see if it would read it. Is there a patch or something for it? Thanks, Tony
  19. Just got trial for Indesign 5.5 and wanted to test FusionPro. Do I have to re-install FusionPro to make it work? -Tony
  20. Yeah it does. I wanted a backup logic in case I only got numeric value field to convert from numbers to the FATD Alpha. I saw the old posts you have but did not see how 4-9 digits get coverted. How does the Rule for IMB barcode work from the wizard work? -tony
  21. Alex, If I do the reverse like: onecode = onecode.replace(/0/g,"F"); // replaces all 0 with F onecode = onecode.replace(/1/g,"A"); // replaces all 1 with A onecode = onecode.replace(/3/g,"T"); // replaces all 3 with T onecode = onecode.replace(/2/g,"D"); // replaces all 2 with D Will it be valid? If so what will the 4 through 9 be?

    SlipSheets

    How about multipul slip sheets? I want to insert a slip sheet based on data. Right now I get 4 to 5 different data that I run to the same setup with. I would like to combine all of them into one and have a slip sheet to separate them. I tried the OnrecordStart rule but it is not working right. Let me know what you all think. Thanks, Tony
