I am creating a booklet based on multiple pdfs being pulled in from a detail field in the data. I am looping through each pdf (cover, agenda, section 1, section 2, section 3, ect., thank you) and each of the section pdfs will need to generate a bleed trim tab in the correct location for each tab and includes the text information from that field on that tab. How could I go about doing this? I thought I could possibly set up an output preset, but I am not sure if that is the way to go about it.
Not sure if I fully understand your question but let me give it a try.
You could create an absolute positioned box outside the page boundaries and use a script to add content. The image below shows an absolute positioned box outside the page but within the bleed margin. The application will print anything within the bleed margin (it doesn’t need to touch the page boundaries).
Subsequently I used the following script to write the name of the template along with a date stamp and the record index.
Selector: #slug
Script:
var currDate = new Date();
var templateName = merge.template.properties.file;
var recordIdx = record.index;
var slug = templateName + ' - ' + formatter.dateLong(currDate) + ' - Record idx ' + recordIdx;
results.text(slug);
Hope this is of some help,
Erik
