  1. https://drive.google.com/open?id=12C_s2ILIbzTYBLfCDHhE8i9-aqDvFyib As you can see, the person's name can be inside the circle. I know i will need to have a rule to determine which circle image to use, but, i am not sure where to even start to make this happen. It is also possible for a paragraph lower on the page to need the circle, so the start point for that circle would be different because of this paragraphs wrapping.
  2. I have a customer who would like a "hand drawn circle" around a paragraph. The paragraph can move on the page depending on lengths of variables in other paragraphs, so, i need to have the image move dynamically. I frequently use the code return <'graphic file="sig.jpg">' for signatures, but, that pushes the text away from the image area. What is my best bet for doing this? Thanks Jeff
  3. Just to clarify a few minor things: I do not need to declare a layout or format for the array? will it rebuild the array on each "on record start" call?
  4. This is a theory question, more than a "need it now" question: Can FP create an array of objects from an external data file, on record start, that can then get parsed/walked through/etc, by another function or functions? As an example, I had to do a project once, where 1 record could have 1 to 200 detail lines, and needed to build a table based on the number of detail lines. The final document was 8 pages long, with the middle 4 being the table, and if a page was blank, print "intentionally left blank" across the middle of the page. It also needed a series of totals printed as the last line of the table, calculated from the data. Is this do-able? The only real example i would need to recreate this would be how to create the object, and how to iterate through it from another rule. I hope this makes sense! Thanks Jeff
  5. Dan Attached is an example of the issue. In the "Y" direction, it shows 13.4 in, I would like it to show 13.35 in. The same issue occurs in the "H" direction in this example, it is showing 0.351 in, if i increase it to 0.3515 in, it shows 0.352 in. In both examples, it is only showing 3 "significant digits". Thanks Jeff
  6. Is there a way, in a Text Frame, to increase the number of digits visible? I need to start a frame at 13.45", but, it rounds it to 13.5. If i am not careful, it will move the frame down to match the "visible" characters. I have other frames at 2.32", so i know that it CAN do it. Jeff
  7. Can FP create a MaxiCode Barcode (aka, the bullseye from a UPS label)? Thanks Jeff
  8. I have a job that is a monthly job, and am trying to figure out the best way of file management. The way we normally do it, is, each customer has a directory, and then within that, are all the different job numbers, ie: \abc_company\123\ \abc_company\124\ \abc_company\125\ If i create a FP job for job 123 and want to move it to 125, can i just copy the pdf, fdi, and def files, or am i better off having a "master" directory for the FP project, and then link the data and output to the current job folder, ie: \abc_company\Master_job_dir\ \abc_company\123\ Thanks Jeff
  9. Is there a way, when starting a job, to have a dialog box pop up to change a few global variables? Specifically, i would like to prompt for sign-off or live run, and then chance a font color; and the option to change a date field. On a slightly related question, can a rule change what is written in another rule? ie, i have a rule called EXP_date, that just returns a date. Can another rule (ie, onRecordStart() ) be used to chage the date in that rule? Thanks! Jeff Dodge Lawler Direct 215-824-3290
  10. I am attempting to create a job, that requires the font "Sean's other hand". When I add the font using the Variable Text Editor, it appears in the correct font. When I preview, or output, the job, it defaults to Arial. From the .msg file, I get: Job started 15:44:53 - 1346269493. Creator: FusionPro Desktop 7.2P1k Computer Name: BDD-PRODUCTION Current working folder: K:\RTI\_EGW_New Template File: \\FLYERS\Data_Processing\RTI\_EGW_New\EGW.pdf Input File: K:\RTI\_EGW_New\egw_test.csv Composing record #1, input record 1 Sheet #1, record #1 Failed to load font SeansOtherHand Font ID 2215 is not loaded into DTL properly. Default plain style font is used instead In the fonts.ini file i have the following entry: Sean's Other Hand;SeansOtherHand;Regular;0;0;W;True Type;C:\Program Files (x86)\Printable\FusionPro\fonts\Sean's Other Hand.bfk;C:\Program Files (x86)\Printable\FusionPro\fonts\Sean's Other Hand.pfa;C:\Program Files (x86)\Printable\FusionPro\fonts\Sean's Other Hand.otf;C:\Program Files (x86)\Printable\FusionPro\fonts\Sean's Other Hand.ufk; (this is, if it helps, line 2212) When i go to the referenced directory, the .bfk, .pfa, .otf, and .ufk files are not there. I am running windows 7, Adobe Acrobat 10.1.4, and FP Desktop version 7.2P1k Thanks Jeff
