| Repagination |
 |
|
The FormTrap Repaginator
is a tool used to restructure Print Line mode data files before
they are
processed by the FormTrap Print Logic and merged with your form.
The Repaginator modifies pagination within your data files,
reduces each document to one long page and moves data elements header, footer
and details into set positions. Repaginator allows deletion of
subsequent page headers and removal of unwanted lines from the
input, thus providing more flexibility in your forms design.

Launching the Repaginator |
|
To launch the Repaginator from within FTDesign:
- Select Printline repaginator... from the
Tools menu or click the Repaginator
tool button in the top left hand corner of your printmap
work area.
- The FormTrap Repaginator will be launched in a
separate window, displaying the sample data file you
loaded in FTDesign. You can now create your
Repagination rules.
The Repaginator
file (.rpg) is included in your load (.asc) file
when you build your project. FormTrap checks
for the Repaginator file in your load (.asc) file and, if
present, repaginates the data file prior to
processing the data with your form.

Configure Repaginator file |
|
To set the FormTrap Repaginator file for your
project:
- Select Repagination... from the Define
menu.
- The Repagination dialog box opens.
- In the Repaginator rule file text box
enter the full path and name of your Repaginator
file or click the Browse... button to locate
the Repaginator file and click the Open
button. Repagination files are normally stored in
the same folder as the forms they link to.
- Click the OK button. When you
build your project, the repaginator file you have
selected will be included in your load (.asc) file.
