Data batch merge

I have 36 documents, all with merge data of different databases.

I need to export it in PDF format - does anyone know of a script or a way to export 36 documents that batch and datamerge them?

I don't see a way in normal InDesign controls, if anyone knows a way via script or otherwise I'd love to have it.

Thank you

OK, the name of the folder must be a complete structured folder name. I had been expunged it in my example, but in the current script I use the mylocation line like this:

myLocation var = ' Macintosh Users: colly: Desktop: in1folder:

If location referred to above in a file called "in1folder" on my desktop. Now I'm using a Mac OSX 10.9.5.

If you make a folder on your desktop and you want to make reference to it and are not sure how, Kris Coppieters of Rorohiko has a download that makes this simple: https://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/downloads/showpaths/ - literally drag the folder that you want to reference the icon and the app shows you how it should be typed.

The folder contained also indesign files and the text thus:

now the files do not have to be named in the order I have them here, BUT the name of the data referenced by the file indesign file MUST be the same as the name of indesign with the extension .txt at the end as shown in the example.

for example

Carrot.indd

Carrot.indd.txt

Watermelon.indd

Watermelon.indd.txt

I apologize also if there is a discrepancy between the responses that I am in Australia and I think that there is a lag of 10 hours.

  • Four cameras to inspect the label presence / Date / batch Code

    Hello

    We intend to use four color cameras (more probably Firewire) to inspect the right label presence (attached image), Date / batch Code (most likely a match and no OCR/OCV), liquid level and presence of Cap. The speed of the conveyor is 240 bottles per minute (ongoing). As the bottles are rotating, there is no fixed orientation of the label. Thus, we intend to capture 4 frames on each trigger, to assemble and to inspect for a suitable Date and batch number, correct label, liquid level and correct the blockage. Good level of liquid is always above the label, so it shouldn't be a problem.

    We need a software / hardware recommendations for the cost of work effectively. For example, can VBAI as well as NI EVS-1464RT work for this application, or do we need to Labview and the Vision Development Module? We have the best price / performance for this application.

    Any comments / suggestion should be highly appreciated.

    Dear Faisal,

    VBAI does not include the steps to assemble the images, I suggest you LabVIEW and the Vision Development Module development.  If you want to use the EVS-1464RT, you will also need a copy of LabVIEW RT.  Note: the Vision Development Module can be purchase as a bundle with LabVIEW RT, see http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/207699.

    Another way to achieve your goal of a 360 degree view of the bottle would be to use a lens Opto pericentrique Engineering, see http://www.opto-engineering.com/pericentric-lenses.html.  This would allow you to use a camera.

  • Using the data to merge to envelopes, but need space to close to 1 address line

    Hello

    I created a data document merged for the return address envelopes.

    Problem is, some in the source of the address data have 1 line address and some have 2 lines.

    I put the InDesign Document for both lines, but when an address has only 1 line, there is just a black space where the second line of the address would have shown there was data to greet him.

    Is there anyway to make this space close automatically, when no address line 2 is available?

  • Date of merger troubleshooting

    I use data merge to create a directory of companies from an excel worksheet. Everything just works great, except for one problem: one of the data fields will appear in the merged document as a placeholder < < manager > > instead of the data from the linked file. When I preview the files, all the names appear, but as soon as I create a merged document, the placeholder is displayed instead. I use a tab delimited file and the data set appears where it is supposed to be more.

    How can I fix?

    The 6.0.4 update is supposed to have fixed some issues with the data merge, but was not, as far as I know, 100% success.

    Try opeing the data file in a text editor such as Notepad and search for strange characters, which should be deleted. Even if you do not, do a save as to overwrite the file, and then try again.

    If it still does not respond, the best option, in my opinion, is to make the merge in CS3.

  • How can I generate a data merge that includes a barcode in excel spreadsheet for InDesign?

    Can you please indicate whether the following process is possible in InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).

    We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The fusion of data concerns several thousand records.

    We have a customer supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, which is a number which ultimately must print a barcode when we do the data to merge in InDesign.

    As you expected, the classic six data fields merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the code barcode printed properly within the data merge.

    We looked at several possible solutions without success.

    Some of the solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel convert the number to a code bar while still in the spreadsheet - but this does not come across properly when import us the CSV file in the InDesign data merge.

    We studied some third party software applications, but neither gives the complete solution that we need. Some, for example, seem to create the bar code in the Excel worksheet but do not produce the barcode correctly when us data merge in InDesign; and some we will create a unique bar code in InDesign, but have no automated way to recover thousands of numbers in Excel and turn them into bar codes.

    We have you met also possible solutions "police" but have had no success with these either.

    Previous employment, only to produce us entrusted to a specialist mailing company, who assured us that they have produced all the work (very quickly) in InDesign. They, understandably, don't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they have produced work for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.

    Can you please specify?

  • Is it possible to link to the .doc files as I would image help to merge the data from the files?

    I'm trying to find a way where I can link to multiple documents in a master document. I know how to put Word/Excel files in InDesign-related, but is there a way I could build a document using data merge? I guess I want a link to every document in my CSV, possibly with a @ column header. Has anyone tried this before with any success?

    I have trouble understanding exactly what it is you want to try and do.

    Regarding the data merge, the answer is no. When a header field which has a "@" before the domain name, InDesign data merge function will import images that are people like .jpg, .tif, .eps .gif .pdf .png .ai; but will not import content such as .docx .doc .rtf or .txt. It is worth noting the help that Adobe (InDesign help |) Data merge) does not list what types of images will import as part of a data merge. Another additional note - if import a PDF or AI is many pages long as part of the merger of data, the merger will take only the first page of the PDF / I, and it is not a way to make the merger import a different page.

    If you want to import a large number of word files in an InDesign file all at once in the same block of text, I wrote a piece about it on InDesignSecrets: http://indesignsecrets.com/place-word-files-one-frame.php

    Sorry, you're right... it's a variable.

    As near as I can tell, the document is damaged, but it seems that if it can be saved. Make a new A4 doc and rename A template z then it won't replace your master when you bring.

    Now put the two visible documents at the same time and select all of the master pages in the original and drag them from the Pages panel and drop them on the new RFSO. Select document pages, then do the same thing, adding them after page 1. Page 1 to remove and reset the numbering.

  • In the new synchronization is the option "overwrite local/remote data" driveway?

    I noticed that I can't decide if the synchronization must be connected server to the client, the client to the server or two-way. And I know it was an option (a must) with the previous version of synchronization (if I remember correctly 3 choices were available: download, upload and bidirectional). He is really gone? Maybe I just can't find it...

    If it is gone I guess this means that with the new synchronization, both sets of data are merged with no other option. If this is the case it is terrible news, as in the case of data 'settings' and even ' subject: config changes ", there is no way to merge this type of often contradictory data. And I certainly don't want to make a mess on my favorites that are mostly the same but a lot differently arranged, etc. renamed the 2 computers. A merger will duplicate more and replant those I had thrown and do not want. 'Data passwords' will also be a mess, "modules data" will be easy to fix manually.

    My setup is on computer A, I did a new install of Firefox with new settings, modules, bookmarks, passwords, etc... What I want is to synchronize computer B to this same account without it downloading THE data on the server synchronization. As I used to be able to do with the previous synchronization.

    If there is no way to do that I will have more than just delete my entire firefox profile on computer B (rmdir home/user/.mozilla), so I contaminate with stale data synchronization server. I want to avoid that, as it's a pain. There are a large number of settings, that I'll have to manually reconfigure as they are not synchronized among other reasons.

    If it is indeed gone, may I ask why the choice of any feature? Was it too bug?

    The user interface is not here now.

    The simplest thing to do: open the new profile, delete bookmarks stocks, clear the history you want to get rid of and remove saved passwords. If you want to also sync prefs and want to be completely sure that they are clear, remove the directory of the profile prefs.js.

    Voila: a wiping profile.

    Delete the contents of the directory of profile may or may not work; I do not recommend try you it.

  • Merger of field via download Excel?

    I decided to create a new channel for that matter, although I had found an article where I initially made an assignment (I can now edit or delete my original announcement - menu "actions" does not open for me, PC and Mac, Chrome and FF):

    With the help of merge field to dynamically display a picture

    The above post describes pretty much exactly what I want to do, but I'm missing something-

    Here's what I would do: I have some customer information I want to merge to an email; the information is not something I necessarily want to hold with my contacts.

    We use Excel to download the lists, because these contacts are not currently in our database. I created a new fusion of field and inserted the fusion in my email. The creation of the merger of field requires linking the merger with Contacts, accounts, events/event Sessions or CDO. My initial assumption was that I would need to create a CDO, I did. So I created from the merger of field, connected to my CDO and inserted the field in the email.

    When I then test the email, I download my segment of the tests. I can't match the data fields to match the fields, additional Excel in fields in Eloqua - I thought that maybe the CDO fields appear as options for matching.

    So, my question is, how do I get data to Excel at the height of my merge field in Eloqua?

    Thanks for any help you can give!

    Colin

    Here is the result:

    You cannot perform a merge via download Excel (IE - trying to create a new segment via upload that contains the data to merge) - I was on the right track, that this should be done through CDO.

    1. create your CDO, upload your Excel file and map on the data card contacts

    -Create a new CDO, adding additional fields that you want to capture

    -Specify 'E-mail address' in the full name, the Unique ID and the email address fields. I also set the Group By field to the E-mail address and the type of entity as Contacts with new Email Address field.

    -When you transfer your Excel file with records to merge, be sure to map downloaded from the data card contacts (custom object > download custom object records). In the wizard in step 4 - resulting Actions to download, make sure that the card data card check box is selected. Real do not know why you ever not wanted - it seems to me that you can't do much without it.

    2. create your field field Email merges mergers

    -map to your CDO fields

    3. Insert the field merges in your email

    That of about it - if anyone has any additional info or corrections on the above, let me know. Hope this helps-

  • Combine multiple statements into a single merge?

    Hi all

    I'm stuck with a situation here that I've ever met. I will try to describe below. I'm running it in Oracle 10 g.

    TABLE_A is empty before the start of the process. TABLE_B has a few million lines. Rest a few thousand.

    INSERT the TABLE_A

    SELECT * FROM TABLE_B;

    MERGE the TABLE_A

    With the HELP of TABLE_C

    ON TABLE_A.PID = TABLE_C.PID

    WHEN MATCHED

    UPDATE

    WHEN NOT MATCHED

    INSERT;

    MERGE the TABLE_A

    With the HELP of TABLE_D

    ON TABLE_A.PID = TABLE_D.PID

    WHEN MATCHED

    UPDATE

    WHEN NOT MATCHED

    INSERT;

    MERGE the TABLE_A

    With the HELP of TABLE_E

    ON TABLE_A.PID = TABLE_E.PID

    WHEN MATCHED

    UPDATE

    WHEN NOT MATCHED

    INSERT;

    due to the huge amount of data, the merge statement has faced every time that it runs, it consumes a lot of time (hours) to run. Is it possible to rewrite above fusion sql in a sql statement using outer joins? I tried a few approaches, but none seems to be practical. Please shed some light on the question, if you find a way more right to do the same thing.

    Thank you

    Without any code and actual tables, all I can do is to guess:

    Fusion in table_a a

    using (select... table_c

    Union of all the

    Choose option... table_d

    Union of all the

    Choose option... table_e

    ) u

    on (u.pid = a.pid)

    When matched...

    When not matched...

    But I don't know if there are keys duplicated on other tables.  If there is, you will get the unstable set of lines error.
