• Data merge InDesign Photos

  I have an excel inventory spreadsheet and I'm doing the flyers of stock.  Data merges completely fine, but photos will not. Here is a very simplified version of the information available to me.  The Indesign file will have 5 photos of total, but it transfers any of them.  I have the excel file and the pictures located in the same folder as well.

  Header 1	Header 2	Header 3	' @image	' @image	' @image
  Data	Data	Data	Image 1	Image 2	Image 3

  I did some research online and watched the video several and still can't find what I'm doing wrong.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  I found the problem; It's in your database file.

  When I deleted the Description that all merged column correctly, so I took a quick look. At the end of the text in the first record of this column, there is a return. (I couldn't see it directly by pasting the text into InDesign)

  On a new copy of the data file, I deleted this return, and the fusion worked correctly.

• Data merge InDesign CS6 not properly position it on the page.

  July 3, 2013

  I use Indesign cs6... I worked in indesign from cs.  I did many complex data merges in 5.5 and before, but now in CS6, when I do to create the pages merged, it my first one of the centers and throw the rest out of the page.  I mean multiple images to a page.  Unique to a page works fine.

  In addition, I worked with windows xp and now I'm on a Windows 7 computer.  Don't know if that makes a difference, but thought it was worth mentioning.
  

  I tried all the settings in the windows of data merge.

  I tried to place on the page in different places, but when it merges it is always in the Center (first element).

  I looked for plug-ins, patches, patches online and found nothing that will help you.

  I'm running out of things to try and find any help or patches on the adobe Web site.

  I have a job with 1200 pieces (4 upwards) coming soon and I don't want to have to fix each page individually.

  Thanks in advance

  You have not used the tool Page on this file, you have?

  In addition, would be worth trying a new file for the model and the copy of the presentation of the card in it (or rebuild). It can be damaged at this point.

• InDesign crashes CC 2015

  I'm working on a multiple page document in InDesign on my Mac. I worked in this document for about a month now, and just recently, it crashed when I try to scroll past or go to a certain page. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the program, and export the document in PDF format with no luck. Even when I click on the tab pages, everything closes. I don't know what I did to cause this. In addition, I can open a new document and fill a new project without problem, so it must be a problem with my other document. How can I recover my document data, including data on the page it crashes? I'm afraid I have to redo my work.

  Try saving the file as a file idml. This will sometimes fix unopenable file. - Anne

• Data merge InDesign, the names of image files

  I have a directory of more than 300 people with photos. I do a fusion of data from an Excel worksheet. Is it possible to automate the path names in the spreadhseet for each person, or do I have to type each file name for each picture? All the pictures are in the same folder.

  For example:

  @Photo

  Accounts: Photos: directory: Doe, John

  Thank you

  Lisa

  So just do your column has this formula, for example enter A2 and copy it down.

  = "" pr:PHOTOS:Physician photos repertoire: "UPPER (B2) &", "& LOWER (C2) &".psd""

  And then you are ready!

• Data merge several people on one page

  I create a file of data merge to create a travelogue of emergency contacts. The previous file was done in Publisher (YUCK) and needs to be rethought. I'm trying to set up the file properly in InDesign to perform a data merge in which there are 3 contacts per page (one primary, secondary and substitute for each county in New York). See below

  

  Currently, I can't figure out how to get multiple contacts on a single page. The way it is set up now, I can get information for a person to appear on each Board.

  

  Any ideas on how to help?

  You have the same problem with which I tried to help in this thread: repeat pages

  As you've found data merge InDesign really only merges a record of several sets of fields... OR (what you want)... multiple records to a set of fields.

  So what you need is just a set of fields; one. Follow these steps:

  

  And delete everything except the first page.

  1. Now, with emphasis on the page of the document (and not his mistress), choose Create a merged Document in the data merge Panel menu.
  2. Tab records the dialog box create a merged Document, choose multiple records in the accounts rendered by menu Page of the document.
  3. Check the box saw several shot record.
  4. Switch to Multiple record layout tab and set the controls to set folders as desired (3 per page) while previewing in real-time.

• 9.2 CC InDesign crashes when you open the data merge Panel

  I have a document that is in a book (for multiple files) with cross-references to other documents in the book. I also almost all of the content in an inCopy assignment in order to manage in multiple versions/layouts with the same content. All references are separated InCopy as page numbers vary from book to book.

  That said, so that other documents in the work of book very well, this one is having issues. Whenever I try to view the data merge Panel, it crashes. I had a similar problem with other files where if I try to select a merge data source it would break. I've solved the problem of the registration of a copy, the deletion of all pages of the document, by selecting the data merge source (who now works with any content on the pages), and then copy and paste the content on the pages back. Not sure why this works, but it did.

  The problem is that I tried the same solution on this document and it worked until I tried to click on the data merge Panel after you follow these steps, inDesign crashes. If I open the data merge Panel, THEN open the document, it crashes as well.

  I'll try to redo this with panel data fusion open while I copy and paste content back in and see if I can refine the problematic content if that is the question.

  Other documents are open so that they are accessible?

• Large Volume of data merge issues with Indesign CS5

  I recently started to use Indesign CS5 to design a piece of mail marketing which requires the fusion of data from Microsoft Excel.  With small spots up to 100 pieces, I don't have any problems.  However, I need to merge 2 000-5 000 items of data through Indesign on a daily basis and my lap top current was not able to manage the merger of more than 250 pieces at a time, and the merge process 250 takes 30-45 minutes if I have the chance and the software not crushed.

  To resolve this problem, I bought a desktop computer with a second generation processor Core i7 and 8 GB of memerory, thinking that would solve my problem.  I tried to merge the track 1,000 of data with this new computer, and I was forced to restart Adobe Indesign after 45 minutes of no results.  I then merged 500 pieces and the task was completed, but the process took less than 30 minutes.

  I need help with this problem because I can't find another software which can design my mail merge the way that Indesign can, however, the time it takes to merge large volumes of data is very frustrating because the software crash from time to time the after waiting a good 30-45 minutes to complete.

  Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

• CC 2015 inDesign crashes at launch

  I use a Windows 8.1 machine and recently installed Acrobat DC and Illustrator CC2015 without any problem. At the same time, I installed InDesign and Photoshop CC 2015 at the same time. Initially, I got the message (I don't know which program was this error, it was either InDesign or Photoshop):

  ERROR: DW071:

  ERROR: DW003: third payload Installer vcredist_x86.exe failed with exit code:-2147024546

  ERROR: Cannot install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x 86). Please try to install by double-clicking the executable file to "C:\Users\Sarah\AppData\Local\Temp\{8EE78465-323B-4680-A594-22541DA8EA04}\Photoshop_16_LS 20_win64\Adobe CC VC 2012 Redist (x 86) 2015\payloads\Microsoft \vcredist_x86.exe", or download and install the 2012 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package last (x 86) from the Microsoft Web site - www.microsoft.com

  So I did as instructed and downloaded from Microsoft.com vcredist_x86.exe and installed with no problems that I could say and restarted my computer. I opened Cloud to launch Photoshop and InDesign to test them, and it says have been updated, so I ran the updates for InDesign. When I tried to launch InDesign, I received the following message: Adobe InDesign CC 2015 has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. It does not give a code error or any other information. I did not run updates for Photoshop and can open very well now. I uninstalled InDesign and tried to run it without updates, and still, it crashes at launch, giving me the same message: Adobe InDesign CC 2015 has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

• Export unique PDF pages to InDesign after the data merge

  So I got this hitch with my last job that I can't move.

  I'm generating nearly 700 labels of bag with the help of the data fusion which is each in their own PDF file with a unique file name.

  My current process is:

  1. Open my file in InDesign.
  2. Data merge all labels like "creating a merged document.
  3. Run a script that does some minor changes and then automatically add bookmarks based on a paragraph style.
  4. Export a single pdf file containing all the labels.

  Now, that's the thing that I meet. Initially, I thought open the PDF in acrobat and then divide the file based on the bookmark names - that works very well. However, I also need convert the text to outlines text, then the fonts don't get replaced by our supplier in China (long story). Ideally, I discovered Acrobat can do it himself, but unfortunately it can not be used for several single paged pdf files in the Action Wizard. If I vectorize the text before you split the pdf file, the bookmark naming convention does not seem to work...

  I thought that this might work, but if there was a script that could export PDFs page of InDesign itself and use the paragraph style name. And then I could put just a pdf preset to underline the text. I can't find anything like those well...

  So there's my pickle. I would be grateful for your suggestions!

  Thanks in advance!

  An any other Acrobat Pro script may be worth a try if you want to split based on. CSV:

  var CSV = function(data) {
      var _data = data.split('\r\n');

              console.println(i + ' ' + _data[i]);
              _data[i] = _data[i].split(',');
          }
      }
  
      var _head = _data.shift();
      return {
          length: function() {
              return _data.length - 1;

• 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?

• Merge data into InDesign with Hebrew characters

  InDesign CC 2014 on Windows 7 Ultimate

  I had an Excel file which contains mainly in English, but has a few words of Hebrews here and there. I was unable to save as a CSV file retaining the Hebrew from Excel, so I downloaded Google leaves and downloaded in CSV.

  When I open the CSV file in Notepad, it looks perfect with Hebrew, although if open in Excel the characters are distorted.

  When it is used to merge data into InDesign, the Hebrew characters appear as such mutilated versions only displayed in Excel.

  I use GREP to format the Hebrew characters.

  I have a feeling that the problem is at the "save CSV" step, but I do not know how to remedy this.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Instead of changing the file extension, try saving the text with UTF-8 encoding.

  Excel: Save as type > text (separator: tab) > Tools > Web Options > Encoding > Unicode UTF-8

• Errors when you merge the data in InDesign - Help!

  Hello

  I'm relatively new to the data merge in InDesign, but got my head around it in order to import a loading list of courses in a design of prospectus.

  Everything was fine and I had my model just formatted and ready to go - but then I clicked on "preview the cliché of multiple registration", through a few pages and noticed that on some data records has been wrongly and apparently at random, imported. Thus, for example, under the heading 'Course Code', which should simply be a numerical value, he has substituted random text from another field instead. About half of the documents are beautiful, and half are wrong.

  My Excel sheet is very tidy and correct and there is no hidden field that could clog the data merge. I can't just doesn't what goes wrong!

  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  Without looking at the data, it is difficult to say. If it is still broken in a new document, then I would start by looking at the data in a good text editor, primarily looking for (soft return or returns) line breaks.

  Take and start a new document. Do not copy anything, just put in the CSV file (delimited by tabs to avoid some problems with comma separators use). Put a new text box fields, do not worry about the provision. Perform the merge.

  If it breaks in the same place, then the data are probably "broken" by one of the above possibilities.

• InDesign CS4 Excel data merge on the master page problem

  Hi all

  I had the following problem with an automated data merge document. He reads only the first row of cells in the document. That's what I did.

  Examples of data

  Excel

  Colum A Cel A1: Articlenummer

  Cel A2 12345

  Cel A3 5465

  Colum B Cel B1 Description

  Cel B2 Test 1

  Cel B3 Test 2

  Barcode Colum C Cel C1

  Cel C2 90000

  Cel C3 900001

  On the master page, I made a layout with the folling containers. The diagram below is for 1 item.

  Text for Articlenummer container

  Contatiner text for Description

  For the barcode text container

  I copied the three containers on the page which resulted in the master page with 40 containers for each item.

  I went data merge and connected the TXT document to the first set of containers. InDesign reads the data and place it correctly. But Indesign doenst copy the data in the row of the cell in the following sets of containters. If I connect the document to the next set of containers that indesign don't bed that the data of the first line of the cell which results in a document that contains only the same data.

  Somehelp with that does

  Best regards

  Phillip

  I suspect what happens, that's what I described in my previous post, PARAGRAPH:

  «Indesign takes what he considers a "record" what on the page, that is from the top left to the bottom right of the page, any indesign objects can enter it considers only a record.»

  It's a little hard to explain so I'll demonstrate in images using a simple merge

  

  

  If the finished merger looks like

  

  but, if a chart is placed on the same page (whether the page master or not, doesn't matter) this is where things can go wrong

  

  but this is easily seen in the preview

  

  so, when you perform a merge of data with multiple records, the data of the variable must be treated separately to static data (items that will be on every page as a background, or in this example, the smiley face).

  If the merger on a master page, static elements must be on a master page above and variable must be on a master BASED ON the static captain.

  If the merger on a standard page, static elements must be on the master page. The advantage with fusion on a master page is that data remain linked. The downside is that a page can contain variable data in the merged file.

  hope it makes sense.

• Questions to set the path of the image for the data merge in indesign

  Hello. I have problems to define the path to the image properly to merge images into my document. The data merges correctly, then not issued with the source file, but the images will not bind. Have tried serval variables: for example including with and without the "Machintoch HD" root directory path and "/" and with ":" and with the name of folder only. A copy path directly from indesign links Panel. At a loss. Am I missing something simply or is it too complicated?

  can any help?

  No problem! I was almost afraid to ask because it seemed too obvious! I'm so glad I did... Please mark it as "Answered."
