Transferring Layout and Rules from a previous job. If you are building an identical job that has the same layout, variable frames, rules, but different data file with the same field names, and would like to eliminate the need to reconstruct the FusionPro PDF; this tip will help.
First, click "FusionPro", "Data Definition", "Wizard". Select "Import Data Source From Another Document". Click Next. Browse to the folder that contains the original pdf you want the information imported from. The name of the file will have a ".def" extension. Select it. Click "Open". Click "Finish" Click "FusionPro", "Advanced", "Import". A dialog box will appear with the following options preselected: Variable Layout, Colors, Style. Browse to the folder containing the original pdf . Click Ok. regards, Alex Marshall Application Support Printable Technologies Inc. http://www.printable.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 4:36 PM To: FusionPro Users Forum Subject: [fusionpro] Update graphics & resource file without having to relink all art in rules? Hi! While using FP40 on a MAC in acrobat 7.0, I have a file set up which contains over 800 logos that switch out using a tab delimited text file. I am hoping that there is a way to update the rules to reflect added art, without having to completely build a new rule, and relink each time. This is a monthly account, so the time involved (over 8 hrs) to recreate and update the graphics in the rules is not the option my client is looking for. Has anyone revised a rule, to reflect a new database with added resources, without having to start from scratch? HELP!
