I'm trying use the user-defined but it's not working...

Could you help me?

Rodrigo,

What are you trying to do, booklets? PlanetPress is meant to read data in a linear fashion, from first to last data pages. However, there are some exceptions. For example if you're using PDFs, you can use the PDF commands from PlanetPress Talk to display specific pages of the PDF.

The following PlanetPress Talk functions can help you:

Yes, it's booklets, but the data is a Line Printer Emulation.

is it better if I convert it to pdf?

Rodrigo,

You can either generate a PDF first (either with CreatePDF if you have Office or Production, or with Digital Action if you have PlanetPress Imaging) then pass it through a second Design document to sort it, or you could output through a Windows Driver Output task and let the driver do it for you.

The first option is a little more involved, the second one is easier but less optimized (much slower).
