Upload Multiple Page PDF create booklet


WBG-guy

Recommended Posts

My knowledge on javascript is extremely limited so please bare with me. I'm trying to create a versioned product template on our storefront that customers can use to upload multiple page pdf's so it ouputs a saddle-stitch booket. Of course, customer files will range from 12 to 60 pages or more. Is there a rule that can handle unlimited multiple page files to create a saddle-stitch booklet? If so, what are the steps to creating this? I've seen some information on the Forums but they seemed to involve javascript programming which can become complicated on my part. I have attached samples that customers will be uploading.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

Hello,

 

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing. Want to let users upload a PDF file to a version product in the MarcomCentral store. The PDF file might have more than 1 page.

 

Dan's example above works great for us in FusionPro Desktop, but it uses inline graphics and overflow pages with a text frame.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to apply this to a versioned product in a MarcomCentral store?

 

I see another MarcomCentral user doing this in conjunction with the Intelligent Forms feature on a public site.

 

Thanks,

Dave

Yes Jon. We were able to get two versions working. One that allowed users to choose how many pages they had, then upload each image separately. Another version, allowed users to upload a multi-page PDF and the template would add pages to accommodate the PDF.

How were you able to get the 2nd option working?

 

"Another version, allowed users to upload a multi-page PDF and the template would add pages to accommodate the PDF."

 

Could you please share?

We referenced this thread and downloaded the PTI example files:

We modified the rule named "PDF Graphic Insertion Rule".

 

Removed the path in Line 18:

pathToAllPDFs = '';

 

Removed the FieldName in Line 39:

FieldName = '';

 

Changed the PDFfileName to our Field Name in Line 40:

PDFfileName = Field("YourFieldNameHere");

 

I believe that was it...
