  1. The zip file attached has example data and art (which is what I have to work from currently while the client is designing and collecting the various contact info.Examples.zip
  2. This question has been somewhat answered here: http://forums.pti.com/showpost.php?p=14285&postcount=10 But I'm having an issue with the output. I have a front that is a static background for all people, with variable data fields for name & contact info. Then there are 3 pages in the file representing different static backs (blue, orange, purple) - so ultimately each person will have 3 finished, double-sided business cards. I based my OnRecordStart rule on the post above, tweaking the names where needed. It is: // Set all body pages to be unused initially in the Page Usage dialog. FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber, true); var BackNames = ["-blue", "-orange", "-purple",]; FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = BackNames.length; var BackToUse = BackNames[FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber -1]; var OutputName = Field("First Name") + Field("Last Name") + BackToUse + "." + FusionPro.Composition.outputFormatExtension; FusionPro.Composition.OpenNewOutputFile(OutputName); Print("Changing to output file: " + OutputName);It processes fine, except one of the output files is just the front side, and the remaining files end up being named wrong. So 'blue' is the first file that is just the front side, no back. 'orange' has the blue back, 'purple' has the orange back...so everything is off by one because the 'blue' file is only outputting the first page (front). I can sort of fix it by adding a "", before the color names in the 'BackNames' variable, but then I get a 4th output file that is just the front page that needs to be deleted. This seems like an easy fix, but I'm banging my head against the wall here. I'm using Acrobat XI, FusionPro Creator 9.2.20. Thanks
  3. Is there an output that will allow transparency? PDF/VT works, but the files process very slowly on our RIP (Creo, on KM C8000s). Using VPS drops quality if there's transparency present. Flattening the PDF in Acrobat is also dropping quality in a similar fashion. Is there a recommended method for processing these types of files?
  4. I need to output files to VPS (single-file VPS) for them to rip as efficiently as possible on on color presses. I've noticed that VPS files I output from FusionPro 7.2P1k in Acrobat 9.5.4 are printing somewhat low resolution and the colors change in some images. If I output to VDX or PDF the print looks fine (identical to one another). The VPS however lightens photos considerably and non-variable text and and vector graphic angles are jaggy. I've checked the output settings and everything is identical for the 3 outputs mentioned above (as much as possible). Any ideas what might cause this or how I can fix it? Thanks
  5. I knew it was easy...I looked for that exact problem and didn't see it. Guess it needed a fresh set of eyes. Thanks!
  6. This will probably be an easy fix. I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5 and FusionPro Desktop 7.2. I have a line that contains 3 fields and some spaces (First Name, Middle Name, Last Name. If all 3 fields are empty, I want to suppress that line. But only if all 3 are empty. Since this won't work via just using the setting in the text box I'm trying to do it with a rule, but I keep getting a syntax error (Line 2, it highlights the "!" in "!=". What am I doing wrong? The goal is to output "First Middle Last" (with spaces between) and only suppress the line if all 3 are empty. Below is the rule as I have it set up currently: var NamesOut = ""; if (Trim(Field("First Name"))) != "") { NamesOut += Field("First Name"); } if (Trim(Field("Middle Name")) != "") { if (NamesOut != "") { NamesOut += Field("Middle Name"); } if (Trim(Field("Last Name")) != "") { if (NamesOut != "") { NamesOut += Field("Last Name"); } else { NamesOut += Field("First Name"); } } return NamesOut; Thanks, Rick
