Partie Dynamique de ONYX Designer/88/en

• Tools: inserts a page number, images, … but also displays the total number of pages, pages in the current batch, …
  • Page Number: numbers each edited page. The page number is not necessarily the same as that in the original spooled file. If M-Processing Server is set to exclude certain pages, the number of edited pages will not necessarily be the same as the number of pages in the original spooled file.
  • Batch Number: displays the batch number.
  • Page Number (Batch): displays the page number in the batch.
  • Total Number of Pages: displays the number of pages in the document.
  • Total Number of Batches: displays the number of batches in the document.
  • Total Number of Pages (Batch): displays the number of pages in the current batch.
  • Specific replacement: replaces a value in the spooled file processed by another value which was retrieved in a file. For example, the customer number displayed in the spooled file can be replaced with the customer's name which is retrieved in a database file.
  • Image: prints out a different image depending on the value of the spooled file.
  • Export: this type of zone allows you to retrieve information from the spooled file and export it to a physical file.
  • Repl. File: retrieves text in a file. The name of the zone must correspond to the name of the file. The file must be in the lgobitmap folder and be called data_NAMEOFTHEZONE.txt (where NAMEOFTHEZONE is the real name of the zone). The row and length settings of the zone indicate the row and length of the text to be retrieved.
  • Input Text: creates interactive input fields to design SOAP forms in PDF or HTML format. As the user opens the form generated in Adobe Reader or a web browser, he can fill in input fields and send data to an M-Processing Server URL in a Web entry point by clicking on the SUBMIT button, which is actually a Tools / Input Text zone called SUBMIT (system name).
  • HyperLink: adds a URL link.
  • Set Lang: to specify the file which contains the translations. The latter must be in the lgobitmap folder and its name must start with Translate_. This zone is not printed in the final document, it cannot be seen for preview nor mapping. The name of this zone is not really important, however it must be declared before any other Designer zone that requires translation. Then, the program searches for the corresponding input in the translation file for each Text / Translate zone defined in the template.
  • XPS Message: Inserts an XPS file in the current page. This zone is a link to an XPS file which is on the M-Processing Server. This file must only contain one page and must also be placed in the lgobitmap folder (directly or in a sub-folder). It is not case sensitive. If changes are made to the XPS file, it will impact the projects that use it.
  • XPS File: unlike XPS Messages, the files inserted with XPS File zones:
    • can contain several pages.
    • are whole pages.
    • create additional pages in the output file.
