  1. Our customer creates their documents in InDesign and are currently using it for VDP, but they'd like to use FusionPro. They have supplied me with an InDesign file where a large text box contains a page full of text, and the Indesign variables. They create multiple layers of this text box, which InDesign prints OK. The FusionPro plug-in for InDesign exports the document OK and each layer is created as a Text Frame OK, but each frame is in the same place on the page. So when output is created, all the Text Frames are presented on top of each other. Attached is the PDF output straight out of InDesign. I need a Rule to present only one of the Text Frames at a time, called by a variable in the data. I have attached a data file we are using for the proof of concept. The field I am using is called Layer. 10-28-2016 Letter_output_from_Indesign.pdf input-data50records.txt
  2. I publish a monthly magazine. These magazines are typically about 36 full color pages in length. The circulation is about 8,000. I want to use FP to put the mailing address on the top sheet (cover) of the magazine. The cover is the only page that will contain variable information. The rest of the magazine remains static. The question is, what is the most efficient way to create the document? If I generate the entire document 8000 times, the document becomes 288,000 pages in size. This document takes a really long time to RIP. In actuality, there are only 8000 cover pages that vary. Does anyone have a best practice method to generate the document to keep its size manageable? I have used PPML as an output protocol, but the document still really takes a long time to process. Please advise. Thanks
