Name: Description:
&Physical.x
&Physical.y
Measure value containing the current horizontal (x) or vertical (y) position of the
drawing pen, relative to the upper left corner of the physical page, whose coordinates
are (0,0). This system object can be used to assess the amount of space left on a page.
Name: Description:
&System.Product
String value containing the name of the RIP the document is using to execute. For
example,
&System.Version
String value containing the version number of the RIP the document is using to
execute. For example, 4.0.
&System.FormVersion
Integer value containing the version number of the document requested by the
trigger. Recall that you can assign a version number to a document and increment the
number each time you update and reinstall the document. When you execute a
document that uses a version number, the document verifies its version number
against the one you specify in the trigger, and it proceeds with execution only if the
two version numbers match. See the PlanetPress User Guide for more complete
information on versioning.
