My data is a PDF that consists of 2 pages per document. Page 1 is a variable document and page 2 contains the address of the recipient.

I set up a design to create a cover page for each document that I will use to hold the return mailing address and the postal mailing address. My problem seems to be because the mailing address appears on page 2 of my data, I am also getting a coverpage with the data in that same region on page 1 (which is not the mailing address). My design consists of two pages: coverpage and page2 that uses my &current.datafile as the image.

My output looks like this:
Coverpage - wrong address information
page 1 of document
coverpage - correct address information
page 2 of document

How can I get the correct page output of:
coverpage
page 1
page 2

If someone could perhaps point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Hi taw115,

Maybe you could add a condition to your cover page to only display if it's the first page of the data. Example:

=&current.datapage = 1

If you use this condition, it will only print the cover page on the first page of your data.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Raphaël Lalonde Lefebvre

Thank you. I was able to get it to work using the condition.
