Table Outputs Multiples

[Susan]

I had to put together a quick test for a table job. When I compose the file, I get multiples pages of the same table. It should just output 2 pages, not 44 pages. Is there something in my table rule causing this? The file is attached.

The reason you have 44 pages in the output file is because you have 22 records producing 2 pages each. You could change your composition settings to only compose records 1-1. Or, if you're going to have more than 1 record in a composition, you would need to keep track of the field that identifies each "record" and only compose the unique ones.

 

For example, if you want to compose records with unique "reservation numbers," you could do something like this:

JavaScript Globals

ids = [];

OnRecordStart

var unique = ids.indexOf(Field("Reservation Number")) == -1;
ids.push(Field("Reservation Number"));
FusionPro.Composition.composeThisRecord = unique;

Thanks Ste,

 

That was my problem. Composing 1-1 is what I needed.
