The project is a 2-sided letter sent to families of students in a school district. Letter is in English on the front, and one of 5 language translations on back, or no translation (blank back) if English is spoken at home. The pdf I create has many blank pages, and I'd like to save on click counts on the machine.
I can't universally "delete blank pages" because they aren't blank, they each contain an empty graphic frame. I'm wondering if there is a way to suppress the page if the graphic frame, which is the only thing on the page, is empty? |

Well, a graphic frame is never really "empty." Though you can have a rule assign a NullResource to it. So what is it in your job that determines whether the frame is "empty"? Whatever that condition is can be used in a call to FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage.

I have each other language fill the frame with a graphic, so if the data is English the frame isn't filled with anything. Does that help?

Why don't you use "unused" pages, and have them be turned on via an "OnRecoredStart" rule based on the language translation (assuming that is a field in your data).
I use this sort of thing all the time. Works great. |

Dan Korn, don't help me if you don't want to, but no need to be snarky. "I was hoping you'd post the JavaScript" like I'm a mindreader. Ask for what you need please, because I don't know. This would "help me help you." Remember, "I can give more specific help if you ask more specific questions."
Thank you, scotts, for your suggestion. I'll figure it out. We were all newbies once, right? |

Again, I'm not trying to be snarky, but I'm not sure how asking for your job files, or at least the code, or really anything beyond just a high-level description of the problem, is any different than your mechanic asking to look at your car when you call him up and ask him why it's making that funny noise. I really am trying to help, but in order to give you the specific suggestions you seem to be asking for, I need something more than just the concept of what you're trying to do. So I've reiterated several specific questions, which, if you choose to answer them, will allow me to help you further.
