Jerimiah,
What I believe you are referring to is being able to pull pages out of a
multi-page pdf file. This is a sample of a graphic rule that I use to do
this sort of thing. You could easily write some sort of switch rule to
decide upon which pages to pull from your main document, depending on
the "model of car" that is chosen in the data file. This would then
become your page reference in the code line "r.pagenumber = X" where "X"
is the page number you set in your switch statement, and "docName" is
the name of the pdf file that you are using as your graphic reference.
This could be a static named document or even a variable data item that
is referenced within the instance file itself.
var r = new FusionProResource("docName.pdf", "graphic", true);
r.name = ("docName.pdf");
r.pagenumber = 1;
if (r.exists) {
return r;
}
Good luck.

Subject: [fusionpro] Producing a pdf from specific PDF pages
I have a situation where I have three different envelopes available
for the user to select from. I would like to have the user select from
a drop down and have that selection pull from pages 1-3 to produce a 1
page pdf file for print. Anyone have any ideas on if this is possible
with rules?
I got this idea from an Automotive Brochure that Printable created for
our Demo Store, in which the use selects a make and model and
depending on that selection 2 pages from the 8 are displayed and
produced for print. I found this an interesting method and wanted to
reproduce it for other uses.
Thank you,
