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:

/* 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 {
                col = col.toLowerCase();
                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");
} else {
    for(var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) {
        this.extractPages({nStart: i, cPath: csvData.getRowAndColumn(i, 'PartnerHQ_Id') + '.pdf'});
    }
}

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

  • Find the empty entries after the data merge

    Hey all,.

    I would like to know if it is somehow possible to search for empty entries after that data merge is complete?

    The "Scriptures" are shown with visible hidden characters, as you can see in the attached screenshot:

    Screen Shot empty entry.png

    Can I copy and insert in the Find/Replace window, but nothing can be found. I think that these aren't real hidden characters.

    Any Solution?

    And please don't tell me to remove blank lines for empty fields before the fusion of the data

    Thank you!

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • The windows 10 ISO file will still work to upgrade my computer to Windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I made an iso file for windows 10. I am waiting to upgrade until all the bugs are being developed. My question is: will the iso file of windows 10 still work to upgrade my computer to windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

    The ISO will work after the date limit, but you can buy Windows 10 after the date limit, if you don't improve and activate it before that date.

    Windows 10 is delivered as a service:

    Windows July 10 release - build 10240

    Windows Update 10 November - build 10586 (with many updates depuis.13,.29,. 36)

    If you want to take advantage of the free offer, you must do so before July 29, 2016.

    If you the newer versions are released before then, you can always download and install when it becomes available.

    You could also install it now then download updates via Windows Update as soon as they are available.

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • OIM11g: Event Notification, before and after the data elements

    Hello

    I have several notification events currently working properly. I would, however, create a new event notification containing the front and after the a modified attribute value.

    For example: If the user's e-mail address changes, the notification should be similar to:

    It is a notification that your email address has been updated correctly in the system. Old value: [email protected] new value: [email protected].

    Notifications appear to not be pulled as handlers process events, process tasks and scheduled tasks, is it possible to have both the front and after the data sets available for notification of each of these tasks?

    Thank you.

    If it's on a field of the user object, you can check if the attribute you are looking at is contained in the orchestration.getParameters (). If it is found, you can remove the old value out of the following:

    HashMap eventDataHashMap = orchestration.getInterEventData ();
    Identity currentUserState = eventDataHashMap.get ("CURRENT_USER") (identity);

    Then you can generate the notification by email/but you want to.

  • Impossible to get to work when exporting to PDF page transitions

    Hi all

    I tried to apply page transitions to a document that I realized. I tried to apply the two side of the cover and push passes to each Board in the booklet but when I export to PDF does not work with either, I've seen full screen in Acrobat Reader DC, DC Acrobat and Foxit reader with no joy. With this in mind, I think it might be something to do with how I export as much research, that I've done was referenced InDesign CS6 was so different from what I look at in InDesign CC. Can anyone advise me as to what I can hurt?

    Thanks in advance

  • Non-unique Jobticket.xml ID names after the initial transaction, what gives?

    Hi all

    We had a problem where the names of IDS Jobticket.xml created for each transaction are not unique beyond the first transaction after the restart of IDS.

    ID 12.2 using 2.5 / SO with DM 12.2 in an environment and 12.3 2.6/SO with 12.3 SE DM in another and train to perform double printing output for each transaction (e.g. RECIPIENTAFP and RECIPIENTPDF).

    We can see that the first transaction cross product double output (afp and pdf), and file names are correctly named our IDSRequestObject, including a name unique jobticket.xml.

    However, successive transactions simply increment the previous name of jobticket.xml with _0001, _0002, etc., and the names of output files are not updated accordingly.

    Could you tell if there is a setting in the fsisys/fsiuser, something in the IDSRequestObject or maybe a native config to code Docupresentment, so the names of reset/refresh/create a unique jobticket.xml for each transaction?

    We are using MQ and moving to JMS eventually, but which should probably not have an impact on the creation of names from jobticket to Docupresentment.

    While hoping that there is a simple answer we can have overlooked in our dev environment.

    Thank you!

    No worries of friends.

    Now, everything's fine.

    Thank you.

  • Calendar: Export to PDF missing almost all of the photos

    Every year I create calendars with iPhoto and now Photos on my Mac. This year, everything seemed fine, too until I exported the calendar in PDF format (right-click and export to PDF calendar).

    My problem is that the created pdf file missing almost all of the photos. This is what it looks like in preview (some pictures between July and December are ok).

    I exported the calendar last year that worked fine in iPhoto last year and got the same error. Using Photos 1.2 (340.4.0) on my MacBook Air late 2011.

    No idea how to solve this problem? On the screen, everything was fine.

    You can export photos you used in your calendar with "file > export > export original file?

    Or you can edit the photos?

    If this is not the case, the original images in your library are missing or illegible.

  • Search for content in pdf files stopped working after the migration of Windows 2008 Indexing Service

    Hello

    We have designed a search custom as an aspx page that uses the Indexing Service to search for content in a set a which coexist document types (doc, pdf, xls, etc.)

    We moved to a Windows Server 2003 Indexing Service to Windows 2008 and since the Indexing Service has stopped the search pdf files. The search returns only another type of pdf files.

    On the new server where the Indexing Service, I installed Adobe PDF iFilter 11 for 64-bit platform, I think it's the plugin the Indexing Service uses to find the content of pdf files.

    Does anyone got the Search Indexing Service content in PDFs on Windows 2008 server?
