daniel Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Why do my graphic fields keep appearing at text fields when I upload them to MarcomCentral? How do I make sure they will show up as graphic fields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasLewis Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 You need to set your input option data field to be type "Graphic". See the screen shot below. http://i.imgur.com/rO8wYsj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 oh that's interesting. i thought it would assume what type of field it was from importing from indesign when we define it there. sort of weird to do it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreightTrain Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Daniel, You are not doing it twice, the plugin to InDesign only identifies if the frame contains text or graphic content. When you define your data source; if it is one you created in some other application, FusionPro assumes all the fields are text. This is why you must specify which is "graphic". Most data file formats do not have a way to designate the type; "Tagged Markup" is the only data file format that have a designation for the type of field.

daniel Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 why would i put text into a graphic frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreightTrain Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't think you can. Why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If you mark a field as type Graphic, then that field name will show up in the "Field or Rule" drop-down list on the Graphic Frame palette in Acrobat. Then the field value can be the name of a Graphic Resource defined in the Resources dialog. Of course, the field value is still really just text, but it has this special meaning where it can be used to populate a Graphic Frame without a rule. In other words, you're not putting text into a Graphic Frame; you're simply telling FusionPro to treat that field's value as a Graphic Resource name when that field is applied directly to a Graphic Frame. (Setting the field's type to Graphic also lets you mark the field as either a Graphic Upload or Graphic Picklist field in the Define HTML Form [Web DataCollect] dialog, but MarcomCentral doesn't support that HTML Form Definition feature.)
