Calling variable pages

[sdelp]

I already know how to call different pages of my layout in FusionPro but only one at a time. I am going to be getting a duplex postcard. How do I call two pages to be returned? Thanks.

I know this can be done because it used to be in the old thread archives which I can not get to. If anyone can be of any help please let me know. Thanks.

sdelp,

 

Depending on the number of pages that you want to call you can simply have multiple rules to call a separate page. For instance if I need to call the front and back of different postcards variably I use the rule as such...

 

"Front Page Rule"

 

var pdfFileName = "this is the pdf file that you want to use"

var r = new FusionProResource(pdfFileName, "graphic". true);

r.name = (pdfFileName);

r.pagenumber = 1;

if (r.exists) {

...return r;

}

 

"Back Page Rule"

 

var pdfFileName = "this is the pdf file that you want to use"

var r = new FusionProResource(pdfFileName, "graphic". true);

r.name = (pdfFileName);

r.pagenumber = 2;

if (r.exists) {

...return r;

}

 

 

Using the pagenumber function of the declared pdf file variable name (in my case "r"), you can tell FusionPro which page number to use.

 

Good Luck,

Thank you for the reply.

 

Here is what I used to do:

 

if (Field("pub ") != "3044" && Field("pub ") != "3045" && Field("pub ") != "3048" && Field("pub ") != "3050" && Field("pub ") != "3051" && Field("pub ") != "3053") 
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Old Layout", false)
; 
else 
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("New Layout", false)

 

Is there a way to mimic this to print a front and back? Thanks.

Here is what we use. Using this you would have 3 pages in your layout. Name your variable page Front1, Front2, and StaticFront. Set Front1 and Front 2 to unused and leave the Static front always used.

 

if (Field("Version") == "Version 1")
   {
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Front1",true);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Front2",false);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("StaticFront",true);
   }

if (Field("Version") == "Version 2")
   {
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Front1",false);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Front2",true);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("StaticFront",true);
   }

Thank you. That looks like what I need. I will test it when I get a chance. Thanks again.
