  1. I have a Text Frame with Variable text fields that can overflow to a second page if needed. The text if overflowing properly, but I have 2 additional requirements 1. I need the overflow page to be present regardless of whether or not it has content. 2. Furthermore, I would like to place the word "continued" at the bottom of the first page whenever content spills over to the overflow page. Both of these requirements seem like they could work if I could identify the Overflow page usage in java script. However, I have had no luck with that on my own.
  2. Our support engineer provided this solution. Thought I'd post it here in case anyone stumbles across this post looking for answers. the solution: return ReplaceSubstring(Field("ScanLine"), " ", " "); See below for full explanation from the engineer.
  3. I have a document with a variable text frame that pulls strings like this from a csv file: 0 2089831369 15CHKMAARCTDP 3 E902B0 K5MPS 000B3 0 I have the font set to OCR A Std per our clients specifications. For some reason, the spaces do not have the same spacing as the other characters. The section with 4 spaces in a row seems to be condensed in FusionPro. When I print this string directly from Excel or Word, the spacing is exactly as it should be. The text is no set to "adjust to fit", and I don't have any kerning or tracking adjustments in place. Does anyone have any thoughts on why the space character is not the same width as the alpha and numeric characters using this monospace font?
  4. Thanks Dan, you are the best. All of the files were in the Working directory like you said. I always retrieve files from the Printer Hot Folder, so I did not even think to look there.
  5. The following expression works as expected when I compose without using the Scheduler. if (FieldChanged("MyField")) { FusionPro.Composition.OpenNewOutputFile(Field("MyField")+"."+FusionPro.Composition.outputFormatExtension); } The result is 1 pdf for every variation in the MyField column of my data. In this case, there are 10. I get 1.pdf, 2.pdf, and so on. However, when I select the "Use FusionPro Producer on Scheduler" option in Composition settings, only the last pdf is generated, 10.pdf. I am wondering if I need to modify the code, or if I am overlooking an option in composition settings to make this work properly when composing on the server. I am using FusionPro VDP Producer 9.2.3 on a Windows 7 PC.
  6. Thank you very much, Dan. The code does seem to be executing properly as the statements are currently laid out. I was just worried that they may somehow misfire without some sort of END statement. As for the text frame rule, I am using it to "white-out" a portion of the background art for certain records. For the other records, this box is transparent allowing the background to show through (along with the black text in the box). Thanks again for the quick reply!
  7. I am trying to execute 2 independent if statements in the OnRecordStart rule. One is meant to manage a text box: if (Field("FieldName") =="") { FindTextFrame("MyTextFrame").fillColorName = "white"; FindTextFrame("MyTextFrame").content = "<span color=white>" + FindTextFrame("MyTextFrame").content; } The other activates a page in the document: if (Field("FieldName2") != "") { FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("OtherPage",true) } Can anyone explain how to keep these two statements independent of each other? I am unable to create 2 different OnRecordStart rules, so I am forced to place them in the same rule. I assume I can insert instructions to treat these statements on their own, but my searches for a solution have been fruitless so far. Thank you for taking the time to look at this.
  8. Awesome, I sent it to your message box!
  9. Thanks DSweet! That is certainly helpful. I started reading up on templates in the user guide after I posted this question, so it is good to know I was looking in the right direction. I am trying to create a simple text rule to call a sample template, but the example in the manual is not working for me. If there is any chance you could post a portion from your text rule, that would be very helpful.
  10. I am using FusionPro Server 7.2 We have a job with 10 unique coupons on one sheet. Some of these coupons use variable data, so I have to create them within variable text frames. The problem is, depending on certain field properties, each record can have a different selection of coupons. I am wondering if there is a way to create a selection of formatted variable text boxes from which I could pull the appropriate coupons based on the properties of each record using a set of rules. If anyone has encountered a similar scenario, I would appreciate any suggestions to solve the problem. Thanks!
