Hello Everyone,
I need to create a template that was developed with very complex layout
rules and I'm not sure if it can be done in Fusion Pro, so I was hoping
if anyone had any suggestions on how I could get this to work....
The product is a letterhead. There is a gray line that runs horizontally
across the top of the letterhead sheet. The length, stroke weight, and
placement of the line is static. There is a variable text paragraph with
contact information that prints directly beneath the horizontal gray
line. The variable text paragraph is made up of 8 variable text fields
(Name, Title, Address, Building, City, State, Zip, Phone). Most of these
variable fields are optional. When all of the fields are used the
paragraph results in 5 lines of text. When the minimum number of
variable fields are used the paragraph results in 2 lines of text. Here
is where I'm unsure how to proceed. The variable text paragraph is Flush
Left. However the last or furthest right character on the longest line
of text within the paragraph must always align with the right edge of
the gray line. So that even though the paragraph is Flush Left, the
location where the flush left edge is moves.
I see this as creating two issues that need to be solved, If anyone can
see any others please let me know what you think. First I'll need to
find a way to determine where the furthest right character is within the
paragraph and on which line it falls. Second I would need to find a way
to move the flush left edge.
When we typeset this letterhead in InDesign we type the information and
then we move the left edge of the graphic frame until we can see that
the furthest right character on the longest line is aligned with the
right edge of the gray line. I know that in FusionPro we cannot move a
variable frame using javascript.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. I apologize if my explanation is at all confusing.
