i'm having trouble 2-up Carbonless Forms

[copypickup]

Hi everyone. I basically just purchased Fusion Pro and my first job is giving me trouble. I found through searching the ability to do 2-part carbonless forms using the following javascript:

 

FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 2;

The issue is that the forms will be run 2-up. Each form will be cut to 8.5x5.5. I have one form created as the base at 8.5x5.5 and I can get it to number it properly, but when running them 2-up from Acrobat the correct numbers will not fall behind each other for the carbonless.

 

Can anyone provide a suggestion?

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by, "the correct numbers will not fall behind each other for the carbonless." Can you give a specific example? Are you trying have the same number show up on each of the 2 parts, or a different number on each part?

I'm running one ream of 2-part carbonless forms. Each set of two part will have two forms on it. Therefore I need the numbering to go like this:

 

4101, 4102, 4101, 4102, 4103, 4104, 4103, 4104

 

That way, when I do multiple pages per sheet from the PDF, pages 1 and 2 will have the same numbers, 3 and 4 will have the same numbers, etc. so the carbon copy will be the same invoice number as the one on the white copy ahead of it.

 

I hope this explains it better.

You can use the $inputrecordnumber variable in a text frame, or the FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber property in a rule, and both will return the same record number for all repeats of the record.

 

You can then use a 2-up FPI imposition template to output the pages 2-up.
