Thanks Dan! I knew I just had to be missing something small. Searched for the wrong keywords! Thanks again.

I have an issue I run into every now and then and I haven't been able to solve it. I'm hoping its an easy fix and i'm just missing something. lol I have an address block (Name, Address, Address2, City State Zip, Country) set up in one text box. And lines are suppressed if empty. Normal setup is 12 points for all, but on several records I have a very long name that only fits if it drops to 8 points. the problem I'm running into is, if I just tell the text box to "overflow: Adjust to fit" it allows the long name to wrap onto 2 or 3 lines, rather than keeping them on one line. I can't reduce the height of the text box because some of my records are 5 or 6 lines tall. i need the long line to reduce the font size AND stay on the one line AND reduce all the remaining address lines to the same font size. Any suggestions? OSX 10.9 VDP 9.2.31 Acrobat 11

Very excited to see this update on the download page! Could someone provide some documentation to cover what this is supposed to fix? Charting? Font issues? various other items? Just would like to know and I didn't see anything on the download page to show that information. Thanks for getting this build out, looking forward to trying it out and hoping I can make a chart and use helvetica neue!

Any ideas on a release date with the patch that fixes the fonts issues. I'm constantly having to re-create layouts I have set up in 9.2 back into the version 6. Client wants to change a font to one 9.2 wont recognize (HelveticaNeue font family is a big one). Anytime I choose helvetica Neue light, it either displays and prints it as helvetica Neue light italic or a couple of times it has been gibberish. It allows me to select the correct font and everything displays corrected in the variable text editor. But changes the font when previewing or printing. And then if I go back to variable text editor, it has changed the font to an italic or bold version.

ScottHillock, I have also sent some sample files to support and am waiting to here back. I am still running a demo version of 9.2.26. Creative Cloud CC and OSX 10.9 Mavs. Charting feature doesn't appear to be working 9.2. This is a big issue for me since, I have a few jobs I run weekly that require simple bar graphs. If I open an FP document created in FP6.2, the graphs themselves work, as long as I do not open properties in 9.2. The title text on the chart doesn't print and instead prints a couple of lines of the source code, but the actual graph looks correct. I've been told if I revert back to VDP Creator 9.1 and OSX 10.8 and go back to Creative Suite 6, the charting should work. I even tried a work around to cover up the fact the chart titles returned code instead of the actual chart title, I got the result I wanted, but not only do I get an error (from the charting) on every record, the document with the graph, 9.2.26 will also not process more than 500 records. For example, if the project is 6,000 records it will process 469 records then report "Processing Complete." But the processing "wheel" on the FusionPro Composition System will just keep rotating forever. I also noticed the field names in the text editor were alphabetical, didn't know if it was a "bug" or new "feature". Understandable that upgrades of this nature are going to cause some issues here and there, but something as big as "charting doesn't function properly" is a big deal. I'm trying to be neutral here, but I have spent months getting my bosses to agree to an entire system upgrade (long overdue), they finally agreed and now I have to go back and tell them we either have to revert to an older system (OSX 10.8 and Creative Suite 6) or just keep using our older versions of software(CS 3 and FP6.2). I am sure the people at PTI are doing their best to resolve these issues and will get them all working at some point, but for now, I would avoid running VDP Creator 9.2, Creative Cloud CC and OSX 10.9 Mavs at this point. If you can.

I'm attempting to insert a variable multiple page PDFs into my document. I have everything working except I can't tell my text box to overflow. I'm pulling in the correct variable PDF, but I'm only getting the first page. When I select the text box and choose "Overflow Options" I select "Overflow text to new pages: and the NEW LEFT PAGE pull down menu is blank and I cannot chose anything NEW RIGHT PAGE only has the option of (None). When I click OK I get "Left page is a required field" and it doesn't allow me to overflow. Any ideas?

Thanks, Dan. I looked around, but hadn't seen that one. I will give it a shot!

I have 5 different variable text boxes. They are basically address info: name, address, city, state, zip. But they are spread out over a section of the page. What I am needing to do is when any of the text boxes overflow I need to make the text smaller for not only that text box, but for the other 4 text boxes, so everything matches. The space I am working with is limited so the font size can vary from 6 to 10 point depending on how long the field data is. Everything I have tried is very disorganized and convoluted. I was wondering if there was something I could do in OnRecordStart to measure out the name and address lines and then maybe call out the proper resources from there? I can get each individual text box to fit, but I need them to all be the same font size. I hope that makes sense? Thanks for you help

My normal letter set up is to bring to export my PDF from InDesign with just my salutation field set to be variable. the body copy of the letter is static. What I notice is the font (same font as the letter body copy) often appears to be slightly bolder on the salutation. Its almost as if it is spreading just slightly. It seems worse on typefaces that have thin serifs, which makes sense. Has anyone else run into this issue, and could you help me resolve please? Thanks

Is it planned on any future release? Or is there any charting software recommended that could create a graphic that would link with FusionPro?

I'm currently still running FPDesktop6.2, but upgrading to 8 very soon. We have set this graph up for a client and they keep adding to what they want the chart to do. they are wanting to have the value of the data point to print directly above the bar in the bar graph. for example: If the first 3 data points are 3, 6 1. they want the "3" to print directly above the first bar, "6" directly above the second bar, etc. I don't think I can do it in 6.2, but didn't know if the charting properties have been upgraded in the last couple of major revisions? Any suggestions? Thanks, Graph image is attached.
