RickW Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I have a basic ?, I am with a direct mailing compnay and we have some automated programs where we could have a thousand different graphics to use on a single mailing, now I dont want to type in these pdf names every week, on our data file there will be a field with this pdf name, how do I make a rule to look at this field for the name of the pdf and how do I script the location of these pdf's or is there a way that we can put them on the printer, right now I work in desktop pc enviroment but the printer has a unix box on it. We are right now looking at maybe changing over to fusion Pro but I have to know we can do this. Pleasee help
esmith Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 We are right now looking at maybe changing over to fusion Pro but I have to know we can do this. The short answer is YES, you can do that. See this thread for using the CreateResource function to generate graphic names from data. See this thread for providing directory paths to search for graphics.
rpaterick Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Rick, I used XMPie for almost 4 years and then switched companies to where I'm at now that uses Fusion Pro. I have to say that FP is much easier to use especially the JavaScript portion when dealing with image or text switching throughout a campaign. These forums also help out tremendously. I would just make sure that you have equipment that is up-to-date and meets system requirements that FusionPro requires. Also, here is another example of automating workflow and support helping out. http://forums.printable.com/showthread.php?t=606
