CS5 - data merge - create merged Document - record Multiple - ignore the title / other objects on the page?
When I create a document merged with multiple records, items are usually right, but the problem is the title or header of the page is usually also replicated in each line.
Anyway is to separate certain objects/images/text/etc so that when I create the merged document (multiple records), he would not repeated those elements?
This tutorial can make:
http://TV.Adobe.com/watch/instant-InDesign/automating-a-catalog-with-data-merge/
But does not explain how he keeps the title, separation points, etc., to reproduce with the fusion of data.
Thanks for any input
You have the objects you don't want a copy of the master page?

What is an actual field or just a piece of static text somewhere? Whatever it is, you can't do this using the Split Document command. You will need to use a script custom read the value of this 'field' and use it during extraction of pages in the file.

Is it possible to create a PDF file using only the pages of an existing PDF?
Is it possible to create a PDF file using only the pages of an existing PDF?
Hi drdanger,
There is a way, and it requires Acrobat. You need Acrobat to extract pages from a PDF. You are welcome to try free for 30 days, Acrobat, if you haven't already. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
If Acrobat, you choose extract in the Pages of the Toolbox pane, then specify which pages you want to extract. These pages are extracted to a new PDF file, which then you name and save it.
Best,

Page numbers not listed is not in data merge Document?
Hello, I hope someone can help. I am fairly new to InDesign, but a lot of learning. I create a directory the about 200 pages (around 2800 records merged from .csv in InDesign 6). Everything works fine with the merger, except generating page numbers. I tried to add page at the bottom of the page number to the master BEFORE merging. But if I do this, it greys on the 'multiple records per page' option when you try to run the data merge (using 'create a merged Document'). So, I tried to add the page number to the A-master after you HAVE created the merged document, but the page number does not appear on the pages. There must be a way to do it, can anyone help?
(FYI - to generate the automatic page numbering, I go to the Page current-markers-character number special Type-Insert and put that in a field of text at the bottom of the page.) Thanks in advance. )
I don't see a page number in the mask of law and all of your pages are pages on the right.

Problem with comma in the source of data merge document
I use InDesign CS6 on a Mac in the Mavericks.
I created a data source document in Word, saved as a .txt file. It is a unique field which is the titles of documents. One of the documents has two commas in the title. When I do the merging of data, this page displays only the part of the title until the first comma, and then the merger's going to the next page.
InDesign aid supposed to include the punctuated title between quotation marks. I tried enclosing the entire title in quotes, and I tried enclosing just commas in quotes. I used quotes and quotes. The result is always the same, the title merges up to the first comma and then going to the next page.
Usually, Google is my friend, but I could not find all the answers either. What I am doing wrong?
When you perform a data merge, it uses a character as the delimiter between fields. The default value is a comma. If you have just a single column of data, with no field to separate, then you can check the Options to Import Show key when selecting your data source and set the delimiter to be something thing-anything! -other than a comma. This will force InDesign to ignore commas in your data.

SELECT options (multiple), ignoring the selected attribute
Hello, all,.
I have the CF code that is used with a tag SELECT (multiple attribute), and it seems that the SELECT tag ignores the attribute selected for the options of the child.
For example, I have the code that will generate the following HTML code:
<select name="selectA" id="selectA" multiple> <option value="">ALL</option> <option value="Option 1" selected="selected">Option 1</option> <option value="Option 2">Option 2</option> <option value="Option 3" selected="selected">Option 3</option> </select>
But when the page loads, none of these options are selected. Any suggestions? What do miss me here?

Data only is not displayed after you refresh the page
Hi all.
Connect with a user who has a certain responsibility associated with an org_id (82), but there is also an org_id (81) set as default at the site level.
We have a page with an AttachmentTable that is used for the contracts.
In this page, we have a function that updates some attachments (because a contract template has been changed) using a simultaneous process associated with BI Publisher.
After this function has updated on attachments, to display the results in the AttachmentTable, I do the following in CO:
pageContext.setForwardURLToCurrentPage (URLparam, false,
OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO,
OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);
I read somewhere, refreshing the page that the retainAM must be set to false.
When I refresh the current page to see the accessory updated in the layout of the AttachmentTable, I see the layout without any data, because I noticed the retainAM = false in the method cleans up any context and value org_id is lost (I have my VO profile the org_id value to filter my query).
Note that this medication works very well when I connect with the same org_id (by the responsibility) of the value of the default site.
Data loss occurs when I use an org_id which is not the same thing to the value of the default site.
If I use retainAM = true, I don't see the attachment of the update.
Do you have advice to help me to refresh the page (and AttachmentTable)?
Thank you

If I'm gettting it correct then you want to run the query based on the current ORG ID... IF this is the case then instead of use the VO query with this where clause
WHERE XxfwContractEO.ORG_ID = fnd_profile.value ('ORG_ID')
Please use
WHERE XxfwContractEO.ORG_ID = :1
& then when running the original Version, you can setWhereClauseParam to set the binding parameter.
Please note: you can get the id of the help org pageContext.getOrgId ();Thank you

So, for db_id = 3, wouldn't you ' PRESIDENT; PRESIDENT ACTIVE HERE; MEMBER "?"
For db_id = 11, wouldn't you ' PRESIDENT; INACTIVE PRESIDENT '?Whatever it is, you need the string aggregation . See this page from the Oracle Base for several ways to do so. Since you have Oracle 10 and because the order is not important, I recommend so the aggregate function defined by the user, called STRING_AGG on that page, but the STRAGG called by most of the people who actually use it. Once you have created the STRAGG, you can use it like this:
SELECT db_id , MAX (last_name) AS last_name , MAX (first_name) AS first_name , MAX (middle_name) AS middle_name , MAX (m_code) AS m_code , MAX (prefix) AS prefix , STRAGG (title) -- or STRAGG (DISTINCT title) AS title , MAX (creation_date) AS creation_date FROM db_temp GROUP BY db_id ;

It depends on what program you are trying to copy and paste into. You are able to select continuous, multiple lines, by using the Ctrl Key and clicking, or by highlighting the desired line. For example, I held the Ctrl key and then, using the mouse, has highlighted several different phrases in the various paragraphs, and could then copy them. This feature is available for several versions of windows.
If you are not able to perform this action then post what happens when you try and what program you try it.

Cannot print - folder 'My documents' opens to save the page to TIFF
Windows XP SP
Firefox: 3.6.3
For no apparent reason, when I want to print a Web page (if there are pictures, it opens the dialog "save under" and check the TIFF option (there is no other opt).) If I save it "Microsoft Office Picture Manager opens" and if I want to print the 'impression' Wizard opens.
I can print the .pdf files.
I can print from the internet explore.
Finally I can't access the link "reset" on this Web site. (it says "timed out".
The last update was in April (security update).I fixed the problem (of least temporarily)
The line "Preference file" Firefox "print.print_printer (prefs.js) - printer name.
Where (name = print.print_printer, and Value = name of the printer) had the value: "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer". (Which was incorrect).With Firefox closed, I replaced the value "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" with: "Canon MP240 series Printer"and restarted. "
If this applies to everyone, I copied the exact name of my printer (for the correction of value) in the Printers folder in Control Panel.

Data merge: how to get multiple records in a single text?
Hello
I'm experimenting with data merging in InDesign CS3. The biggest obstacle I've met tries to get my record flowing continuous text in a single text frame (which would, ideally, "automatic formatting" on the new pages in the document). Records vary considerably in length, and so I can't just create a standard repeat on the page text frame.
Perhaps, data fusion is not the best way to achieve this and I should be learning to script in place. I feel like I'm just one step, however.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Data fusion is not thread. There is a nifty script to Rorohiko who will do it for you after the merger, however. Best strategy is to merge, run the script, delete everything except the first image on the first page, then pick up the excess and auto-flux in the document.

Can't add placeholder text data merge for all blocks of text on the document
I'm trying to put together a script that loops if all pages in an indesign file, search all text frames label caption1, caption2, caption3... (whenever you get to a new page, the number of text images label starts again from 1) and add a placeholder in the text data fusion: caption1, caption2, caption3... but this time, when you get to a new page the number continues to go... caption4, caption5 and so on.
Page 1 - image text = caption1 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption1 > >
Page 1 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption2 > >
Page 1 - image text = caption3 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption3 > >
page 2 - text = caption1 = image tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption4 > >
page 2 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption5 > >
Currently, the script is adding placeholder text merge data only for the two text frames first (out of 6) on a page (about 8 pages) and just the first image of text on the page two (out of 3)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Here's the script:
myDocument var = app.activeDocument;
-SOURCE DATA CALLS FUSION
main();
main() {} function
myDataSource var = File.openDialog ("Please select a datamerge source", "text files: * .txt");
If (myDataSource! = null) {}
myDocument.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource (myDataSource);
myDocument.dataMergeProperties.dataMergePreferences.recordsPerPage = RecordsPerPage.MULTIPLE_RECORD;
}
}
-MERGE OF DATA FIELD
function get_field (captionString, myDocument) {}
fields var = myDocument.dataMergeProperties.dataMergeFields;
for (var f = 0, l = fields.length; e < l; f ++) {}
If (fields [f] .fieldName == captionString) {}
Returns the fields [f];
}
}
Alert ("error: did not find all the fields with the name" + field_name);

var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages [i] .textFrames [x];
var myDataMergeProperties = myDocument.dataMergeProperties;
var myTextFrame.parentStory = monarticle;
var myStoryOffset = myTextFrame.parentStory.insertionPoints [-1];
var myNamePlaceHolder = myDocument.dataMergeTextPlaceholders.add (monarticle, myStoryOffset, get_field (captionString, myDocument)); ADD DATA FUSION TEXT HOLDER TO THE TEXT BLOCK
countFrames ++; INCREASE THE NUMBER TO ADD DATA FUSION TEXT PLACEHOLDER FOR THE NEXT BLOCK OF TEXT
capPerPage ++;
}
}
}
Hello
To verify this change (replace for...) loop)
var countFrames= 0, currLabel, capPerPage; for (i=0; i
Notice countFrames starts at 0.
