• Date of QR code merge error.

  When you try to create a qr code data merge in indesign, I can't create real QR codes.

  Instead, they are preview text.

  How can I create a fusion of data QR code QR codes?

  Hi guys,.

  managed to find out what we were doing wrong!

  We had #DATA on our QR file but could not run even after the upgrade. Turns out we had to install the new update instead of simply upgrading to 10.1.0.70.

  Initially we upgraded to 9.2.2 x 32 and it would not work on it.

• data merge problem - CS4

  I have successfully used the merging of data for

  throw or placed tmy text - placeholders on the master page, then geretated pages. Now, do report anotehr, I wanted to use

  the old man a tempalte and just change that data - no matter WHA tI - I get the error

  "Tehre is at least a placeholder data which may not be foudnin the data source. "Make sure that any placeholders correspond ot the fields in the data source.

  Which is not true - because the dat merger panel shows all the field names in the CSV file - and I get this error as soon as I place a single field - on the master - check the preview area and the error message coems. I tried placoing on the page of document but no difference.

  My solution was ot find a last tiem form Gall who did not have the dat a fusion inside and to use - however - I ran out of old files with no dat a merger. It almost seems as if once that you do a fusion of data in the file, even if not saved, it somehow it keeps and dwells on.

  I have treid registering as an inx and do in CS3 - but got the same error.

  I went on all loose on the page, one by one - using the story editor to see if there was soemthing bad in the file - found nothing

  Here is a link ot the file and the data source

  any help is greatly appreciated - I'm stumped

  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.

• Data merge Panel no display fields

  Hi all

  I have problems with the data merge. I select a proper CSV file. It seems that inDesign loads the file (no errors whatsoever), but then it does not display the fields on the Panel. It remains the same, with instructions on how to use the data merge.

  What I am doing wrong?

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you very much

  Jordi

  Jordi,

  I see nothing wrong with the file, but it won't work for me in CS3 or CS4. What is even more strange, it is I can do a new test file that works, but if I try to type your data into excel and save it, it does not.

  Good news. I think I found the problem. Rename the last field to something other than 'table' and it seems to work. I suspect that ID interprets that as some sort of command.

• Data merge images shrink down proportionally to fit the image if it does not fit 100%

  I do a merger of large data of some labels and want the images to be narrowed proportionately to match the image if it is too large to fit 100%.

  What I've read, this is only possible with the data merge feature in InDesign. However, I think that it is possible using a script? In addition, there are three frameworks and I would like it to apply to one of the managers (once again, if this is possible).

  If this is feasible, how would I go on this subject? Is anyone able to write a script for me? Or have an existing one that I could use? I have had a look but couldn't find something similar.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  If you call pageItem by name - it returns 1st occurrence not all of them.

  You must browse the pageItems and check names.

  Like this:

  var
    mPI = app.activeDocument.allPageItems,
    cPI, cGB, cW, cH;
  
  while ( cPI = mPI.pop() ) {
    if (cPI.name == "3D") {
         cPI.fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);
         continue;
         }
    if (cPI.name == "PROFILE") {
         cGB = cPI.graphics[0].geometricBounds;
         cW = cGB[3] - cGB[1];
         cH= cGB[2] - cGB[0];
         if (cW > 40 || cH > 43)
              cPI.fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);
         }
    }
  

  If the CPI has no graphics ==> don't return error

  (you will then need to check if possible)

• 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.

• Why is my data merge going off the page?

  After playing with the merging of data for a bit today, everything is working except that rather than start a new page when there isn't any room left on the first page, the next record will just outside the margin down and overwhelmed the edge of the page itself. What I don't see? I only use sample data at the present time, with 4 records. There is place at 3 on a page.

  Several records per page fusion is bug. One of the most important is the Preview button. If you used the Preview button, most likely the model is watered.

  Try to create a new model and perform the merge without the preview or cancel immediately after using it. You can usually copy the pictures from the old model without a problem, rather than having to make them again.

• Data merge field is out of position

  

  I hope someone can help me.  I put everything by default but for some reason my data merge overview when selects by default as off the page (red boxes) and centered.
  Can someone help me understand how to bring back them to the page?

  Thank you.

  CJ

  OK, for a merger of multiple records, you can use exactly 1 set of placeholders in the upper left corner, which seems correct, but I would remove the rest of the stuff until after the merger and put it on a master page, you can then apply. You must also DISABLE the cliché preview multiple record.

  Since you have seen this model, it is probably now garbage, then copy the fusion placeholder image and paste into a new file and try again.

• 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);

  }

  countFrames ++; INCREASE THE NUMBER TO ADD DATA FUSION TEXT PLACEHOLDER FOR THE NEXT BLOCK OF TEXT

  capPerPage ++;

  }

  }

• Limitations of the data merge?

  10.8.3 - CS5 OS

  I've been using merge data for simple tasks, but now I ran into problems.

  I have about 100 records and about 22 colums for each.

  I'm trying to create a single page for each item.

  The labels come in fine in data merge window, but as I try to create a merged document I get the message:

  "There are at least a placeholder data which is not found in the data source. Make sure that any placeholders correspond to the fields in the data source. »

  And the placeholders do match fields.

  The content of each record consists of the text of approximately 1000 characters run - it no go?

  Nina storm

  Your text running there line breaks? Data merge cannot handle line breaks in a field, but the result is usually blurred out, although it could well generate the error that you have a field with no field in the data file.

• 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.

• Several problem data merge Page

  Hey all,.

  I'm doing a data merge to create a product catalog and having a small issue.

  My catalog has 5 rows and 1 column per page. I have guides Setup for this.

  I have the first installation of the product data fusion and you can get an overview of the information are imported acorss from my CSV file. I can change the pages and all information will be updated according to the CSV file. This part works fine.

  My problem strives to bring to merge into several pages. I can't merge onto a single page.

  When you go to "Create a Document merged", choose "All Records", "multiple records per Page.

  When I choose "Cliché recording Multiple Preview" shows nothing outside of the first row.

  If I'm trying to merge, he created approximately 40 new pages, exact copies of the first leaf, but with the new entires of CSV.

  Here's what I would like 5 times per page.

  

  I tried to play with margins in the preview (I haven tried to hide with the margins, and then merge, I was hoping I could find a simple solution without merging several times)

  I watched several videos on YouTube, The InDesigner and searched this site but could not find something to help with my problem.

  Any help would be appreciated to grealtey!

  Many thanks in advance,

  several records per page presupposes that the data to be cloned are all that is in the indesign file then and there. This applies to:

  • all the graphics in the background
  • the master page items

  without seeing the pdf file and simply looking at the screengrab, I would say it is the question, but I could be wrong. try to get rid of all graphics except for what is meant to merge and try to re-run the multiple records per page.

  and Yes, that means that all the graphics in the background must be set ONCE the merger is completed. an easier way to do this is to save them in another indesign file. and once the datamerge is finished, go to the pages palette and load master pages from the other indesign file.

  This help at all?

• 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.

  Malla,

  You have the Office XML Editor installed under the directory "C:\PROGRA~1\Oracle\XML"?

  You save the model before you try to preview the PDF file?

  What is the version of Microsoft Word, you use?

  Make the same mistake with another master, or just this one?

• Satellite A300D-135 - BIOS - System Configuration data read error

  After starting a Satellite A300D-135 laptop computer, the following error message appears:

  
  3070M extended RAM passed
  512 KB of L2 Cache
  System BIOS with a shadow
  Video BIOS with a shadow
  ATAPI CD-ROM: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H
  Fixed disk 0: TOSHIBA MK2546GSX
  Initialized the mouse
  ERROR
  System Configuration data read error

  Press to resume, installation

  After pressing F1 the machine starts Windows, very well, but the error message is quite irritating, while it comes with a loud BEEP

  I tried the following things so far (in that particular order):
  -Load BIOS default
  -Flashed the BIOS with the latest version of the BIOS (2.80) for this type of model
  -Reinstalled windows with HARD drive format

  All the these did not work.

  I saw the same message appearing on several places on the internet (on different laptops with a Phoenix BIOS in common), but so far I have not been able to find a working solution.

  It might me a hardware problem, but all devices (vga, soiund, lan, wifi, usb, hdd) seem to work perfectly under Windows, so this does not seem the question). Another solution that is mentioned in some forums, replace the battery. But because the phone keeps time correctly I don't think it's the case either.

  Any ideas?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The POST (power on self-test) BIOS checks and detects errors on the motherboard.
  I think it has something to do with the hardware on the motherboard problem.
  I doubt that you can solve this if update of the BIOS and the BIOS default settings didn't change that.

  What to say; I think that the technician of the ASP should run tests to check what's wrong or what cause this I think it is question of s mobo.
