Imposition Issues, onRecordStart

[MarkJonesEMKT]

Hello All,

 

So I have been having some issues with FP Imposer and adding cover sheets to the beginning of the output pdfs. I have this working perfectly without an imposition and at one point it was working with a 2up imposition, but now it is adding blank pages to the document.

 

Here is what I am doing.

 

var stack = FusionPro.Composition.JobOptions["RecordsPerChunk"] / 4;

if(cover  = FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber % stack == 1)
{
   FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 2;
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("SetSheet", true);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("BSetSheet", true);
}
if((FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1 && cover == false) || FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount == 2)
{
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Page1",true);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Page2",true);
}

 

I am trying to output this 4up duplex on a sheet. The cover sheet will print with a back and repeat the record count. Then the record will repeat and print the front and back of the main page.

 

This works perfectly, except that the imposition is repeating the cover page (without printing that it is to the log) after 2 records and then it is adding 2 blank pages every page. What might be wrong with this?

 

Thanks for your time!

If you want a slip sheet, you need to select it on the Imposition tab of the Composition Settings dialog. You can tell it to insert the slip sheet after every stack if you want.

I have tried in many different ways to make it work using the Imposition tab of the Composition Settings dialogue and I have never managed to get it to work with an imposition. The closest I was ever able to get it cut off half of the cover sheet and replaced it with blank space.

 

However I did manage to get this working by changing the order of my "if" statements.

 

Solution:

 

var stack = FusionPro.Composition.JobOptions["RecordsPerChunk"] / 4;
var cover = false;

//check first for repeat
if(FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 2)
{
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Page1",true);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Page2",true);
}

//Insert cover and repeat
if(cover  = FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber % stack == 1)
{
   FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 2;
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("SetSheet", true);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("BSetSheet", true);
}

//No cover and no repeat
if(FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber == 1 && cover == false)
{
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Page1",true);
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("Page2",true);
}

Okay, if you got it to work, great. It's just hard to help without seeing the job files.
