Print at Home Ticketing - duplicate elements

Hello,

I'm currently designing our Print at Home PDF templates and would like an element on our ticket design (the N-Scan Barcode) to be placed on the PDF twice (up the top and down the bottom of the page).

Adobe Acrobat won't let me place two fields with the same name in the PDF and Tessitura will only sync with fields that exactly match element ID's in the specific Ticket Design.

Has anyone found a work around to be able to place elements on a PDF multiple times (without having to have them multiple times on a standard ticket design)??

Would love to hear from you!

  • Hi Beau,

    We do this, so we have the NScan Barcode and Ticket Number barcode on the top portion of the PAH ticket with the ticket details, we also have the NScan Barcode at the very bottom of the PAH ticket (just in case they manage to obliterate the other two!).

    To do this you have to have a separate element on the ticket itself, so we just put another NScan element on the ticket with a barcode height and width of 1, and place it right at the edge of the ticket. It then doesn't affect the standard ticket design but allows us to have the extra barcode on the PAH ticket. If you want some screen shots, let me know and I will email them over.
