Hello Jordan,
There is the CurrentRecordNumber() function.
If you have a versioned item (single record of data) like an event ticket and
the only variable data on it is the sequential number, here is the INCREDIBLY
EASY procedure:
1. Open your PDF (this example will use an existing event ticket that you want
to number)
2. Go to FusionPro > Data Definition > Wizard...
3. Select "Specify data source definition" and click Next
4. Select "None" and click Next
5. Click Finish
6. Go to FusionPro > Edit Rules... and create a new text rule, using the Empty
Rule option
7. Write this rule (I'll call it NumberSequence):
return CurrentRecordNumber();
8. Draw a text frame where you want the number to appear and insert your rule.
9. When you compose, go to the Input Tab of the Composition Settings dialog.
10. Under the Record Range section, enter the starting number for your sequence
and the ending number for your sequence. For example, if you want to create a
sequence from 1000-9999, you would enter the starting number as 1000 and the
ending number as 9999.
Go ahead and compose, and you will get your sequence.
HOWEVER, since you are using this simple JS rule to provide a sequence, why not
add some other "cool" stuff to it:
You can format it so that there are always four digits:
return FormatNumber("0000",CurrentRecordNumber());
You can add the event date (imagine November 16, 2006) to the front:
return '1111606' + FormatNumber("0000",CurrentRecordNumber());
Then, why not also add a barcode as well for added security (using the 128
barcode for this sample) by creating a second rule that applies the barcode
function to the first rule:
return Make128Barcode(Rule("NumberSequence"));
HTH
regards,
Alex
