Data Merge pdf and naming unique auto export

Hello

You can try two scripts that I wrote:

Export a single PDF file:

http://www.scriptopedia.org/index.php?post/custompdfexport.jsx.html

a few rows of csv allows you to rename a bunch of files pdf accordingly:

var csv=File(Folder.desktop+"/fichier.csv");

var myPDFFolder = Folder(Folder.desktop+"/pdfs");

var names = getNamesFromCSV(csv);

if(csv.exists && myPDFFolder.exists){
    var files = myPDFFolder.getFiles();
    if(files.length==names.length){
        for(var i=0; i
This code was intended to use the first line as a basis element to rename PDF files. Adapt it to your own needs.
It will be useful,

Is it possible to create a document merge pdf and mailing to several vendors (each with their own unique values) for them to individual e-sign?
I have my letter and the data that is created in Excel and Word, so I want to create these data in a mail merge (by Word) and then saved in PDF format.
I wish that each document merged PDF mail to have their signature / title / name of fields as fields of e-sign.  Is this possible? How can I configure my document as well what happends without me one in and edit every PDF document.
Thank you ~.
			 
Hello Gallienterprises,
It seems that you are looking to extract the values of your CSV file in the document of the multiple signatories. For this, you can use the MegaSign feature:

IDCS6 MACOSX JS: data merge multiple txt files one after the other
 
			 
Hello everyone.
I have a situation where I have to data merge multiple text files to a single file indesign real "base". Databases formats are the same, the point of difference is a code in the second field of the database that refers to a postal box (not a zip/postal code, a code of 'distribution center' that has possibilities of 56 or greater). I would prefer data merge a file and then somehow split the PDF via Acrobat, but the length of postal areas resulting is incompatible and something that cannot be done if the document "split" feature in acrobat.
The database starts as one massive file but using a one line code, can be divided into postal areas in separate text files.
My last question: is it possible data merge several files at the same time (for example one after the other) and to give them their names based on the names of the input text file?
OLE Kvern had a script to merge the data to a file without the user interface. I changed the last line slightly so that it generates a PDF file based on [high quality]:
if(app.documents.length != 0){
        var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
        app.dataMergeOptions.removeBlankLines = true;
        //Select a source file.
        var myDataFile = File.openDialog("Select a data file")
        var exported = "file location(redacted for the sake of this post)"
        if(myDataFile != ""){
                myDocument.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource(myDataFile,);
                myDocument.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(exported,"[High Quality Print]",);
        }

}
I guess that the answer has to do with the variable "myDataFile" and rather than just being open a dialog box, it could be somehow by selecting a table of text files, but it is where I am out of my depth.
Ideas or thoughts which may not involve trying to do both the many mergers, but can somehow revolve around a great fusion of PDF?
Thank you very much
Colin
			 
Since writing my last response, I realized there was a better answer. It is a scenario of Peter Kahrel and a modified version of a script by Olav Kvern. Details can be found here: batch of merge data | Adobe Community
I have since made other mods to the script is easier to understand:
if(app.documents.length != 0){
// make sure to use the document that is open
        var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
// get the name of the document that is open for future naming purposes
        var myName = myDoc.name
// get the location of the folder that contains both the indesign files and the text files
        var myLocation = "FULL PATH LOCATION OF FOLDER CONTAINING TEXT FILE AND DESTINATION FOR FINAL PDFS"
// define the names of the data files to use based upon the names of the indesign files
        var myImport = myLocation + myName + ".txt"
// define the names of the data merged PDFs to be created
        var myExport = myLocation + myName + ".pdf"
// the actual engine for the merge, including DM instructions such as remove blank lines, object fitting etc.
        var myDataFile = myImport
        app.dataMergeOptions.removeBlankLines = true;
        if(myDataFile != ""){
                myDoc.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource(myDataFile,);
                myDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(myExport, "[PDF/X-1a:2001]", );
        }

}

If this script will automatically merge a file which is open as LONG as the data file is the same name as the indesign file with .txt at the end for example
Woodward.indd (indesign file)
Woodward.indd.txt (used for merging text file)
This script does still not the original memory and who was using an indesign document, to browse for many text files and merging of PDF based on text files.
HOWEVER, I am sure that the answer to that is based only on the use of the script above (no need to Peter batch convert script) and changing the line 9 to be a loop for... but again, this is where I come to a grinding halt. Any help would be appreciated.

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:
Open my file in InDesign.
Data merge all labels like "creating a merged document.
Run a script that does some minor changes and then automatically add bookmarks based on a paragraph style.
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:
/* https://forums.adobe.com/message/5551746 */
var CSV = function(data) {
    var _data = data.split('\r\n');
    for(var i in _data) {
        if(_data[i].length > 0) {
            console.println(i + ' ' + _data[i]);
            _data[i] = _data[i].split(',');
        }
    }

    var _head = _data.shift();
    return {
        length: function() {
            return _data.length - 1;
        },
        getRow: function(row) {
            return _data[row];
        },
        getRowAndColumn: function(row, col) {
            if(typeof col !== 'string') {
                return _data[row][col];
            } else {

                for(var i in _head) {
                    if(_head[i].toLowerCase() === col) {
                        return _data[row][i];
                    }
                }

            }
        }

this.importDataObject("CSV Data");
var dataObject = this.getDataObjectContents("CSV Data");
var csvData = new CSV(util.stringFromStream(dataObject));
if(this.numPages != csvData.length()) {
    app.alert("Number of pages & CSV row count inconsistent");

Note that the column header is supposed to be (this can of course be changed on line 41 of the script code):

Data merge problem - bad values when exporting PDF with "All folders" only
 
			 
Hi - I have the weirdest problem with InDesign: I use merge data from .csv to create a deck of cards (9 per page), and when I export to PDF from the data merge Panel, one of my field has erroneous data: it uses values from previous records and which repeat.
What is strange, is that when the noticed, all right. Is also very good if I create a merged Document and PDF export. Is also very good if I export to PDF using just the range of entries it is play: I don't get that wrong data if export as PDF, "All records" in the data merge Panel.  Very frustrating!
Someone saw? I feel that my data is ok, if the export of individual records is very well...
Cheers for any help.
			 
Thank you! Which has me on the path to what looks like a fix...
Copy all the fields in a new file does not solve the problem - the same behavior, but after the start of charges, I started to adjust the sizes of the fields and stumbled upon a possible solution.
A field that trouble is a text box for a single digit, if limits are quite small. The name of the field for example placeholder. > is bigger and complained of cut-off text.  Increase the limits of the text box to be at least the size of the reliable placeholder text solves the problem. It decreases the size of a single digit... back of the problem.

How weird.
Thanks Peter.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Batch export data to PDF files
 
			 
Hello all,.
I will receive a large number of forms filled with customers, and I need to load the data into an Access database. I know how to export data from a PDF file to Excel or XML for the migration of a database, but is there a way to batch-export data from a number of PDF documents at the same time?
Steve
			 
A simple way to create a single file that contains all of the plug a range of responses is to choose "forms > manage form data > merge files into the spreadsheet" in Acrobat. You can select CSV or XML.
You can also use VBA in Access code to open each PDF file programmatically, extract data and write to the database. It's methods IAC (Communications monitor) and perhaps the Forms API and/or the JSO (JavaScript object). More information is in the Acrobat SDK SDK documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhel p.htm? href = JavaScript_SectionPage.70.1.html & accessible = true

My laptop crashed and I did not export a few videos that I had already edited in Premiere Pro. A technician will be able to recover my files and transfer my data on a hard drive, but I will lose all the work I put into editing these videos that have not yet been exported and who were saved only within the first? Help! I'm desperate...
			 
the work you have done in the first can be restored if all the project files and media are saved or recovered by the technician. tell the tech to find .prproj files and recover all the. If you have auto-enregistre turned on, they will appear when the tech search for the files *.prproj.

I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, the columns and tabs make many merged cells and the number of columns empty. In addition to not separate the columns properly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I even think that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limits. There is no way to set what points in columns to force the column break? Or create several columns that are unnecessary? How column in Excel, size fixed when import us text and define where breaks have columns of text?

PDF does not contain columns, lines, formats, styles or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
This is because the PDF is decidedly not a file format of word processor or a spreadsheet or something 'like' one of these.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
Which allows to optimize the export of the content of a page PDF is to start with that tag well formed PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1).
Without that export is what it is and we performs the cleanup of any necessary content using the native application for the export of files (MS Word or Excel).
Be well...
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
URGENT NEED: Using Photoshop CC, is there a way of layers auto-Centre linked to a specific area of data merge?
 
			 
I'm looking for a way to auto-Centre of a group of layers related to a specific area after having been given merged into Photoshop CC. The text should be just justified left in the area in question, I'm looking for a way that once the merged data arrives, the Center layers automatically themselves within the area.
			 
Yes.  For example, do a select all or a selection of the area.  Target a layer you want to align to that and use the menu layer > alignment of layers to the selection > location...
Use this menu twice to align layers to one of the nine positions og a Baseboard of tick tack are the selection.
Layer of Center in the center of the canvas example
Select all
top layer of target
Layer > align layers to selection > Center Vertical...
Layer > align layers to selection > Center Horizontal...
If you select a group of layers that are linked, I would expect that center of the layers in the Group would be at the center of the canvas.  However, I'm not crazy about this criterion, it would be easy to test try it. You may only need to select the layer you want on the center of that all linked layers should move with the alignment.
But I don't know what you mean by a data merge. Do you mean merge down or merge layers.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Export to PDF and print the same color swatch - different variations of color on printed documents

When I export to PDF - export looks great - and all colored frames appear exactly the same - and they give the same exact color read outs in any profile I have watch in preflight Manager
CMYK reading is 4/20/99/0 in all mailboxes

Looking at your PDF fills the area is all the same RGB values (so you will never get the 0 | 100 | 15 | 4 process CMYK output value will show you to the #1). The upper area has its overlay set to false and the other 3 have overprint set to true, then it may be that your Xerox printer is not happy with the different RGB overprints.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Merge document and merge Word using Excel data does not display the result required in the merged document.
 
			 
I have created a merge document and mail merge in word using an excel sheet spread as a data source.  Initially, no sign of £ showed in the document among other formatting problems.  I have (finally) found help explaining that I should use MS Excel via a DDE data sheets - I tried this but it seems to corrupt the data so that the column that contains say '1 names' contains "price data", "address" line contains the data of 'comments', making the e-mail merge nonsense.
If you use an alternative data source is CBO or something all NFL results (which wasn't shown on the worksheet) appear in the mail merge '0' both are unacceptable.
Surely I'm not the only person to meet these challenges is the software never tested before being sold where is the help manual, I tried to use the online help but will not accept my product key.  All solutions provide the most basic assistance but my documents are fairly complex something computers should be good.  I lost most of today on this.  Sometimes I think it would be faster to type these longhand things than to use a Microsoft product.

Hello
You can use this method

But it depends on having you another instance on your workstation also.
Otherwise, you will need to sort the database drive will appear on the desktop or vice versa using nfs/samba etc.
