Ticket imposition with FP 8.2

[DDITC]

Dear all,

 

I'd like to use FP to create tickets and impose them on a page.

The following template creates 30 tickets. ( billets1.pdf)

I tried to impose them with a .fpi file without success.

I'd like the ouput to be like file:30_Imposed.pdf.

 

All I get is like: sampledata-output.pdf

 

Moreover, I'd like the imposed document to first stack and then fill each line of the pages ; to be compared with what I did out of FP.

First page should contain tickets 1001, 1011 & 1021.

 

Thank you for your help.

Try setting your "pages per record" in the "document" tab to "1" since each record is only producing 1 ticket.

Hi Step,

 

it didn't change anything.

What's in your .msg log?

Hi,

 

the log is the following:

The page size in this job differs from the page size in the imposition template. Results may be undesirable.

The FP document size is 203.6 x 92.4 cm

The doc size in imposer is 204 x 92.41 cm and should display 3 poses on A4.

There is no data file associated with this template. Also, there are only 2pages in the PDF template, where-as in the FP Imposition file, you specified 30. This could be the root of your problem. Set the pages per record to "2".

[DDITC]

Alex,

Step already asked me to set the number of pages to 1 with no effect.

For the datas, I've seen that FP can work without , and indeed, FP produces correctly all the 30 tickets.

But I want them to be imposed, and there it goes wrong.

Imposition is OK only if I duplicate ( 3 times the same ticket per page) or if there is a data file with 3 records. Then

Top of A4: record 1

Middle of A4: record 2

Bottom of A4: record 3.

But it doesnt apply in my case.

 

Is Impose only able to impose between records and not between pages of a record?

You can try setting the the stacking to "infinite" and then pasting this code into an OnJobStart Callback rule:

FusionPro.Composition.chunksBreakStacks = true;

[DDITC]

Thanks for the try, it didn't change anything.

I guess that FusionPro.Composition.chunksBreakStacks = true;

is to force a break between outputfile.

In my case, there is only one outputfile.

Should I contact FP support ?
