  1. You guys are amazing. Thank you for saving my day!
  2. THANK YOU!!! This works! Is there a way to use the PDF file name instead of the PrimaryInputFile()?
  3. How do I add to the OnNewOutputFile rule to include record numbers in the output? For example: JobName-Records 1-1000, JobName-Records 1001-2000, JobName-Records 2001-3000, etc I am using FP Imposer to create 4up press sheets and setting each position into stacks of 25. And setting the composer options in Fusion Pro to output into lifts of 100 records per file. This is working fine. My file names are coming over as JobName1, JobName2... no record numbers are included. I put this into my Fusion Pro document OnNewOutputFile but it does not work at all. var recordRange = CurrentRecordNumber()+ 100;//the number of lifts FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName + "_"+ "test"+recordRange; I could not find an example on the Forum, and I truly have no idea how to do this. Can you please point me the right direction?
  4. Thank you for the excellent advice. I was able to apply the OnRecordStart repeat record and repeat record in the graphic rule. I think I did it properly as I am getting the desired output. (attached revised collected files) This is working correctly in the MDSF template. Flashcard_v13 onrecord start forum.zip from MSDF Fl_CardOutput.pdf
  5. Hello Dan, thank you for the response. I did update my desktop version of Fusion Pro Creator to version 13.0.4. recomposed and uploaded the template files to DSF. The result is still missing the overflow page. (attached PDF) I will try to rewrite this template with the OnRecordStart as you outlined for me. Thank you. FLCard-Fusion Pro 13.0.4.pdf
  6. Hello Dan, Thank you for your response. I attached the output from DSF which has the problem "blank" pages. As I said initially, this template was working fine last week. I can definitely reach out to EPS support about this issue. I truly appreciate your thoughts and will pass along to them. If EPS cannot resolve it, I need to find another way to build this template to produce a print file for a set of 53 flash cards. I appreciate your advice on the repeatable component page. I am definitely a novice here and piecing parts together. This forum is a valuable and essential resource for me. The repeatable component is creating the common side of each flashcard and the other side comes from the imported PDF. On the example collected files, I removed the variables on the repeatable component page and made them "static" in order to simplify the file and eliminate these variables as an issue. I would like to explore improving this file based on your advice to "....may also be better accomplished by repeating the record for each PDF page inserted". I have no idea where to start. Can you point me in the right direction? DSF output - FLCard-Achieve-Charter-Academy.pdf
  7. These templates used to work just fine, until last week. Attached collected files. It is a set of 53 different flashcards, with a common frontside (repeatable component) and different backside pulled in from a PDF master onto the overflow page. This template was originally built in 2019 and I have not had any issues until last week. I am using DSF v13.4.2.26730 today. When I preview the composed file in DSF, page 2 is no longer appearing. It is blank. I can see the first page (repeatable component) but the back side of each flashcard is showing a blank page. When I compose the template locally with Fusion Pro Creator 12.0.3, all content appears correctly. Do you have any ideas as to why DSF is suddenly having issues with the file generation? If I remove the <position=“afterline”> tag, DSF shows brings in the content, but it is placed too high on the even pages. I need the <position=“afterline”> in order to get the content to position properly on the pages. These are the lines of code in the rule called 'PDF Graphic Insertion Rule: //without the position tag, the preview shows correctly in MDSF, however the second side too high markupToReturn += '<graphic file="' + PDFresourceRef.name + '" pagenumber = "' + pageLoop + '" />'; //with the position tag, MSDF does not generate the second side artwork. The second page is blank. markupToReturn += '<graphic file="' + PDFresourceRef.name + '" pagenumber = "' + pageLoop + '" position="afterline"/>'; I need assistance as to how to get this template working properly again for MDSF to generate both pages in the correct position. Is there something in MSDF that does not understand position="afterline" or do I need something additional in the code to make this work in MSDF today? As always, your assistance is highly appreciated and valued. collected Flashcard template afterline removed.zip PROOF with postion afterline in place.pdf PROOF with postion afterline removed.pdf
  8. Collecting a new template in Fusion Pro 11.0.9 to upload to Marcom Central. There is no assets folder in the collection. Marcom Central is complaining about the asset file missing and will not load the new template. How do I to get the template to load to marcom central?
  9. Just updated to FusionPro® VDP Creator 11.0.9 and noticing that on my mac version 10.16 that when I do the usual cmd-C and cmd-V it does not work anymore. Is there any way to get this working again with the shortcut keys? Being able to quickly copy and paste text is very efficient, especially in the RULES editor. Instead, I see I can highlight the text, right click and select copy and then right click and select paste, which is annoying and slow.
  10. Does anyone do "table-style" like this with inline graphics? Is the 'creeping' of the line spacing "normal" or can it be prevented?
  11. Thanks, Dan. I am using inline graphics now to get the line as thin as needed. I also have some with dotted lines. This works.
  12. I am creating basically a 'table-style' list using inline graphic images for the dotted lines that go below each "row". I notice that as more 'rows' are added to the list, the spacing between each row starts to grow a little tiny bit. You have to zoom in a bit to see it on the example.pdf (like 2400%). I am concerned as some of the lists I will need can be quite lengthy, that the amount of "growth" in the line spacing will become noticable. Is there any way to keep the line spacing exactly the same on every new 'row'? I have the leading defined in my "content" rule, but still, there space between each line is slighlty different. Attached PDF example and collected files. line spacing.zip line spacing example.pdf
  13. In my table, I need a thinner border than the standard "thin", "medium", "thick" options cell.SetBorders("Thin", "Magenta", "Bottom"); Is there any way to get a thinner border? The position and number of rows in the table vary based on the data. Or Is there a way to create a line below the text, like can be done in Indesign paragraph rule as another possible option?
  14. Dan, this is awesome! I apologize for the delay. Your code was essential to getting me started on this! We have been expanding upon it to allow for overflow pages and styling. It is working beautifully. Thank you so much.
  15. I need suggestions, please. How does one create the table in the attached PDF from the data in the attached spreadsheet? I planned on using a XDF file to drive the data into the tables. The spreadsheet could be 100-1000 or more records, resulting in a multipage book. Note the data is flowing in columns (not rows) on the PDF. The bottom half of the PDF should be the next 6 records (not repeated like it shows in the example) How do I get the "rows" on the spreadsheet into run in groups of 6 columns: rows 1-6 on the top, rows 6-12 on the bottom. The images, I think using an using external path to pull images into individual graphic frames above the table will work. The images do not have to be included in the table.
