Hi,
Hopefully someone can provide some guidance with how I can get an incremental counter on a PDF document containing records of various lengths.
I have an Output Preset with Additional Content generating a barcode which needs the above counter for our envelope stuffing machine.
I have tried a few variations of the Print Variables available but cannot get the required output.
A single sheet record starts with 3, a multi page one has 2 as its start digit, 0 for middle and 1 for end.
The required output should be as below - the end digit should be incremental counter:
Page 1 – Record 1 – Single page – Barcode 3001
Page 2 – Record 2 – Single page – Barcode 3002
Page 3 – Record 3 – Start Multi page - Barcode 2003
Page 4 – Record 3 – Middle Multi Page - Barcode 0004
Page 5 – Record 3 – End Multi Page – Barcode 1005
Page 6 – Record 4 – Single Page – Barcode 3006
The only output I have been able to produce is:
Page 1 – Record 1 – Single page – Barcode 3001
Page 2 – Record 2 – Single page – Barcode 3003
Page 3 – Record 3 – Start Multi page - Barcode 2005
Page 4 – Record 3 – Middle Multi Page - Barcode 0007
Page 5 – Record 3 – End Multi Page – Barcode 1009
Page 6 – Record 4 – Single Page – Barcode 300B (a Base32 number to keep to 4 character limit)
Or the following
Page 1 – Record 1 – Single page – Barcode 3001
Page 2 – Record 2 – Single page – Barcode 3001
Page 3 – Record 3 – Start Multi page - Barcode 2004
Page 4 – Record 3 – Middle Multi Page - Barcode 0004
Page 5 – Record 3 – End Multi Page – Barcode 1004
Page 6 – Record 4 – Single Page – Barcode 3005
Is there a Print Output variable I have missed?
Many thanks in advance
