Hello there,

I want to preface and say I am a VERY new user to PlanetPress and have been assigned my first assignment. I have spent a good bit of time going through a lot of the posts and couldn't find this elementary question answered - probably because most of you all know a lot more than me.

I have a PDF file that is static as a background image
I need to create 2 picture resource boxes (which I have done)
Each Picture Resource Box is pointed to a separate PDF Binder (this is done).
Each PDF Binder has the same number of pages = 400.
I want to be able to setup my file correctly so when I generate my printable PDF, page 1 of the pdf has the same back ground as page 2,3, etcc.. however, the content of the picture boxes will be:
On page 1:
Picture Box 1: Binder 1 Page 1
Picture Box 2: Binder 2 Page 1
...
On Page 400:
Picture Box 1: Binder 1 Page 400
Picutre Box 2: Binder 2 Page 400


I am at a loss of how this is done. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

1982.sudip,

I think it would be easier to properly understand and troubleshoot this if we could see the form and data you're working with. Therefore, I suggest that you open a technical support issue. You can call 1-866-348-5863, or use the web support by going to our main page, and going to Services->Support->Report an Issue.

Regards,

Thanks - I went ahead and searched and figured out.

This is what i did

I created two picture resource boxes

I created a custom script that took file names and put them in a csv file and used that as my data source. I put all the files in 1 directory.

Thanks again
