  7. FusionPro VDP v8.0 includes new functionality to create HTML Output. This new output format is primarily designed for use within an email distribution service. In addition, the output can also be used for online marketing as a landing page (or lead capture page) that may contain links to other webpages. The information provided below is the excerpt from the User Guide detailing how to use this new functionality with an email distribution service. HTML Output The HTML Email output module is useful if you have a relationship with an email distribution service such as ExactTarget. The HTML email output created by FusionPro will consist of a single HTML file and a set of JPG output files which contain the image of each page of each record. The workflow to use HTML is as follows: Choose HTML email as the output format and press the options button. [htmlEmailOptions.jpg] Fill in the Base URL field to point to where images created by FusionPro will be accessed over the internet. This is usually provided by your email distribution company, or you can choose your own location on your website if you are emailing them yourself. Determine the name of the variable used by your email system that will uniquely identify each recipient. This variable will be injected into the HTML output that will be fed to the email distribution system. The email system will replace this variable for every email that it sends. For example, if your email system has the variable AccountNumber and it uses percent signs to delimit variables in HTML, then you enter %AccountNumber% in the next field in the dialog box. The other settings in the HTML options dialog can be left as their default values, or you can change them as you wish to set the image quality. Create a JavaScript callback rule called OnNewOutputFile that will name each output file to match the variable you set in step 3. To continue our example, if you have a FusionPro field called AccountNumber, then OnNewOutputFile should look like this: [htmlOnNewOutputFile.jpg] Open your email distribution program. There should be a place to paste the HTML of your email. Open the HTML output file created by FusionPro in a text editor and copy and paste the HTML into your email system editor. You might need to edit the HTML that indicates the variable, because, such as in our example, the code might have been adjusted to HTML markup. [htmlOutput.jpg] Copy the jpg images created by the FusionPro composition to the folder specified by your email distribution system. If set up properly, the email system should replace the HTML variable in your email message with the account number for each user. That will point to each JPG image created for your email and it will be pulled over the internet into the email system. To create hyperlinks inside your email, follow the following steps: Each hyperlink source needs a FusionPro frame. If you don’t already have a frame drawn where you need a hyperlink, then just draw a new blank text frame over the area. The frame must be named. Next, in the callback rule OnRecordStart, you can set the hyperlink value for each named frame: var f = FindTextFrame("HyperLink1"); // name of frame f.hyperlink = "http://mycompany.com/offers/%accountnumber%.html"; Repeat for each hyperlink frame you need. Note that the hyperlink destination can be a constant (such as your company’s home page) or contain a variable to be replaced by your email system (such as accountnumber) which will point to the recipient’s personal page.
  8. In the v8.0 User Guide, there is a paragraph addressing this new functionality at the bottom of p.232. It states, You can resize and move text and graphic frames by changing their properties in JavaScript in OnRecordStart. Note, however, that this will only work for the FusionPro Producer (formerly known as FP Direct and FP Server products.) If used with the Designer or Creator (aka Desktop) tool, then the moved/resized frames will be highlighted in the output, and an error message is generated to indicate that the Producer software is required to create final output of moved frames. To use this new functionality you would use the OnRecordStart callback rule. Here is an example of code that could be used within it:var frame = FindTextFrame("TextFrame1"); //set this value to the name of the frame var NewHeight = 36000; //5 inches specified in hundreths of a point var NewWidth = 21600; //3 inches specified in hundreths of a point var NewX = 21600; //3 inches specified in hundreths of a point var NewY = 28800; //4 inches specified in hundreths of a point frame.height = NewHeight; frame.width = NewWidth; frame.x = NewX; frame.y = NewY;I have also attached a sample job that uses this code. Move Frame.zip

  10. FusionPro briefly supported InDesign CS5.5, however the update to CS 5.5.1 stopped the plugin from working. With this in mind, we will be releasing a new FusionPro 7.2 patch in the near future that will support InDesign CS5.5.1. It is currently being tested, so it should be released shortly.
