dreimer Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I have a job where I will get a file supplied to me of some doctors names. We want to create a pad of 30 and was wondering how I would go about getting say something like a slipsheet with the order number on top of the set of 30 for each version. It will impose to eight up, is there a way to do this easily. I don't really understand the OnRecordStart rules, but I'm guessing it may help for what I want to do. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Dan Korn Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 You shouldn't need any JavaScript rules to accomplish this. You can create an Unused Body Page and set it as a Slip Sheet on the Imposition tab of the Composition Settings dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreimer Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I understand the slipsheet using an unused page. What I was trying to do was have the order number on the slipsheet. This works, but only does it with one version and not the eight versions when imposed. So I built a new template with 62 pages in it and I get the result I want, but was thinking there had to e an easier way to accomplish this. I have attached some PDFs.Incorrect.pdfCorrect.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Add a text frame containing the order number variable to the unused Body Page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreimer Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I tried that, that is what created the incorrect PDF I attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I tried that, that is what created the incorrect PDF I attached. I can't figure out what's going wrong just by looking at the output. If you can post the collected job, I might be able to take a quick look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreimer Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I uploaded the collected file without the assets.dat, because it was not uploading. I'm assuming because the size although it was only 6MB. Hopefully, you are able to see what I was trying to do without it.

dreimer Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I do realize the slipsheet isn't the final imposed size, but I also tried it as 13X19 as well, but it only places the text from the unused slipsheet page in one location. So it seems to me the only way to get it to work this way would be to have my data 8 up as well. If that is the case, I will just go with the template I made with the 62 pages in it.

dreimer Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 So after many different ideas and attempts, it looks like it isn't possible to get the variable text box on the unused slipsheet to get imposed the same as the imposition file imposes the template itself. Has anyone found a way to get this to work?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
