Nicola,

Don't know if this will give you any help or further ideas, but...

we have had a few of our customers use our web site templates to create a 
flyer, biz-card, etc, and request a pdf file for proofing purposes, but then 
simply not place/complete their order. Instead they would download the preview 
that was created. It got so bad that we changed the templates to have a big 
"proof only" stamp on them and even placing passwords so the pdf file couldn't 
be taken to a local copy shop and then simply run off any many as they liked 
for less money. We accomplished this by adding an additional data field to all 
of our data files called "isProof", populate it with an X or blank, and having 
two config files -- one for proof and final processing. An "X" is placed when 
the customer fills in their information and requests a proof to be sent. The 
output pdf file contains a "proof only" stamp, is also low-res and possible 
passwords are added allowing the file to be viewed only. After the customer 
clicks a button approving their order based on this proof, the template is 
called again in FusionPro Server with the same instance file except that the 
isProof field is now blank, and we use a different config file labeled as 
templatename-output-final.cfg. This blank isProof field produces a file with no 
proof stamp on it, and the different config file tells FusionPro Server to make 
this file hi-res with no passwords.

Again I'm simply the template programmer, and I have nothing to do with the 
interface with our website or the programming that does the data file 
submission to the template via FusionPro Server. We also do not use the 
Printable Website for FusionPro templates so I have no idea how they operate.

If something like this doesn't exists currently in the Printable Website 
programming, then maybe it should be included in a future update. Something 
like calling a FP template once for approval purposes, then, after a button is 
selected by the customer stating they approve the supplied layout appearance 
and content, either alter used instance file and resubmit it to the template, 
or allow to use a different .cfg file with different settings (one "proof" the 
other for "final").

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Good Luck

Subject: [fusionpro] Question about a Call Back Rule or Page Usage feature

Hello Everyone,

I have a business card that I need to create a template for online. The 
business card is 2-sided. Everything on the front of the card is 
variable and will need to compose and print. The back of the business 
card is completely static and is on the shell that the variable front 
will print on. Therefore the back of the card needs to preview on the 
Web to Print store so that the client sees the back and knows that they 
are ordering the correct business card version. But, the back does not 
need to compose when the final art is pulled from online to print.

Does anyone know of a way to use a Call Back Rule or Page Usage feature 
in order to have the back preview when the customer views the PDF, but 
not compose when we pull the PDF for Production?

Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks so much!
