• Help merge data (cs3) (JS)

  Hello

  I am a total newbie to the script and try to write a script for a data merge Job. The work requires that once the merger is completed, a new page, based on "C-Master" should be added after each page of the job. It is a fusion of carrier sheets and the 'C-master' is an ad page that is required to print on the back of each page. I wrote the script to add as many pages as the work (based on "C-Master"), but I can't find a way to move between the pages of the job (they are all added at the end of employment). Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code I wrote so far.

  myPages var = app.activeDocument.pages.length
  var = app.activeDocument announcement
  for (var i = 0; i < myPages; I ++)
  {
  ad.pages.Add)
  ad.pages [MyPages] .appliedMaster =
  ad.masterSpreads.item('C-Master')
  }

  Thank you

  Yes, that's correct. The script does exactly what you tell him: add each page after pages [0], which is the first.

  To add a page after each of them existing, you increment the counter add - after page two (not by one, because you have already added another page). Because this can be annoying, it makes more sense to start at the end of the document and work your way to the beginning:

  var myPages = app.activeDocument.pages.length;
  var ad = app.activeDocument;
  for (var i = myPages-1; i>=0; i-- )
  {
    var myPage = ad.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, ad.pages[i]);
    myPage.appliedMaster= ad.masterSpreads.item('C-Master');
  }
  

  (BTW: it is strongly recommended at the end of each command line with a semicolon; it can catch a few JS syntax errors that can creep into your scripts when JS think that the continue command on a new line when didn't you really want to do.)

  'for', 'do', 'while', and 'if' lines 'useless' the semicolon (and never should have it either!), because what follows is technically part of this same line.

  The braces need not semicolons because they control their own separators.)

• 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

• Application updates in bold and in italics while doing a search/replace on the contents of merged data

  Hello
  Wonder kind knowledgeable people if you can help me with a question find/replace.

  I'm doing a fusion of data of book content in indesign, where my data merge file is a simple text csv file that is delimited by tabs. I have two things (almost like here) I would like to make to specific parts of the text, but do not know how to achieve this.

  -First of all, I would like to preserve the words/phrases of form 'italic', but it's obviously lost in a csv file.  Is there anyway that I can mark these words so a search/replace can make this italic of the word.  Im hoping that there is a solution that looks something like this;
  for example.  Content of the book is 'the italics of the word needs to be adjusted.
  Original content is modified to be "the word $Italic $ $ needs to be adjusted", so that a dollar sign encapsulates the word in italics.
  Then I am able to merge data from the csv file and somehow make a search/replace words/phrases that are wrapped by the dollar sign.  So, do a find/replace all the words/phrases that satisfy this condition and then apply italic to all the words between the dollar signs.

  -My other question is that I use the ' |' character in my text to determine paragraph separators.  I then do a find/replace after you import the text to replace all occurrences of ' |' for the paragraph separator (a kind of symbol $, a representative character in the menu drop down to the right of the change to). It works fine, but I would like to make a "BOLD" format paragraph separator so that it can better distinguish the separation of text sections.

  But this is different from my problem "italic" above, since I am trying to apply a "BOLD" format to the character "change to", rather than something that exists in my original csv.

  Hope I think, but I'd be happy to provide you with screenshots etc. (when I get home at )

  two solutions.

  for the solution of italics, I would say that the OP has answered his own question with one exception - do not use the symbols dollar, instead use = or another character that is not reserved by GREP.

  the solution I would use for italics would be a GREP search once the merger completed. Take a look at the picture to see what I did.

  

  the second solution: styles GREP.

  This means that the text will have a paragraph style are entrusted to him. make a style and character called "BOLD" in this style, the only thing to change is located in basic character formats, set the bold font style. might even make the character another example cyan color is more easily strucure.

  Then go to the paragraph style options, click on GREP styles and correspond to the following screengrab

  

  the advantage with a GREP style is that once the vertical bar (|) is replaced, the GREP style bold is lost; and that means less post processing and not needing a second search of the text - it's all living.

• Merge data ID CS5

  Hello world

  I'm having a problem with the ID to merge data.

  I design our new luminaires A5 brochure for my Golf Club and I want to automate the process.

  My excel spreadsheet is set up as follows (csv file)

  Month	1st round
  January	Game
  Monday 9 January 2012	Stroke and put
  Monday, January 16, 2012	Stableford-N/Pin 8 & 11
  Monday, January 23, 2012	Stroke and Novelty 9 & 18
  Monday, January 30, 2012	Stableford-N/Pin 8 & 11

  When I use the fusion of data ID all that I get is the first line, i.e. January game, how can I get the information to follow?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  There are two aspects of the records in datamerge.

  The first: merge files relates to the selection of what information from the data source you want to use in the merge. A line in your worksheet = a folder, and you can select all, one, or a range of records.

  The second: records per Page of Document: single or multiple. This applies to the process after that ID fills the fields of variable. Each collection of data is considered to be a record, and a single record can be place on a single page. Or the number of records that are placed on a single page.

  My question was in which records to merge , who, in your situation, one record could be selected, preventing any additional to merge records.

  Further reflection... In which case all records has been selected and only a recording has been merged... A lot of times that the data source can contain a false character that prevents data merges does not happen. Inspect the raw .csv file and see if there is any alleged character. Also, try a file .txt for the data source.

• Merge data CS5.5 questions

  Right now, I have my text block with my fields of data entered on my master page. The text block has been configured to allow master point overrides, as recommended by the merge data Adobe tutorial for CS 5 and 5.5. When I saw my data merge, it seems perfect.

  The problem is that, once I said to merge, he repeats the first entry on all pages instead of going down my .csv file records. I checked the .csv file in TextEdit, and he seems not to have errors.

  Has anyone else had this problem and managed to understand?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  We have seen reports of a number of issues when you preview before you run the fusion in CS5 and 5.5. Try a leap of faith and do not listen to excerpts and see what you get.

• Fable III PC Retail - cannot activate the game. Windows-live should check the release date of your game make sure that your computer is connected to the internet.

  I just purchased Fable III PC Retail today and I installed and you get the following message:

  Games for Windows - LIVE should check the release date of your game. Please make sure that your computer is connected to the internet.

  No personal information will be sent to Microsoft. A LIVE ID is not necessary.

  As you can see I have an internet connection because I am writing this post. There is no button to push or anything to continue the activation process.

  The game was released in 2011 and 2012 is beyond the release date.

  What is the problem here?

  Using Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1

  I found the answer myself. There is a bug in the commercial version of this game. In the pop up menu it is supposed to be a button that says "enter", but it does not appear then press just enter on the keyboard and all is well.

• Merge data, create duplicate lists

  I have a csv with about 580 records database. I created a template with the correct fields in inDesign, loaded the csv file using merge data, then created the merged document. I have 580 announcements of something like the image below. If there is a symbol wandering in the database to csv, the cause, it does not reflect an error in a preview. In fact, all 580 records can be previewed, copied and pasted into another document, and displayed without error. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

  

  Overview of data merge is known to be buggy and trigger all sorts of strange errors (even if it's not necessarily all problem here). The best advice is NEVER to use for several records/page mergers, or if you feel you must, CANCEL after use, then just merge and trust at your disposal.

  If you used an extract and then went from there to merge directly, and the merger is not successful, you must make a model like the one you use will not work correctly. You can copy/paste in place to create the model of the former route.

• Cannot merge data files in a spreadsheet on secure document

  I created a form in Acrobat X Pro. The form was guaranteed first with a password to restrict editing, allowing just Fill-in form fields. Then save file by activating features enabled and save the file. Everything works Ok: cannot change the shape and allows me to record, but when I use merge data files into spreadsheet to export data, the exported CSV file is empty. Cannot export data. So I tried to remove the protection by password but received the following message:

  You cannot change the security on this document because the document is signed or certified.

  Can I do to solve this problem? No more was able to export the data or the deletion of protection.

  Thank you.

  The next time you add security, select the option 'Enable copying of text, images and other content' If you want to be able to export the form data.

  As is the case, you should be able to "file > save a copy" and then remove the security.

• Data merge: data under a title of shared section grouping

  I'm a total newb using merge data in indesign. I watched the video "Automating a catalog with data merge" and found very useful. I created a catalog for an auto parts company, so I have a file csv with a field for the brand, model, year range, part number. I use Make as a header and other information below. I don't want no repetition of brand (Honda) again and again.

  Rather than:

  Honda

  Agreement of 2005-2010 part No. 4214-0100

  Honda

  Civic number 2005-2010 part 4214-0100

  Honda

  Odyssey 2005-2010 part No. 4214-0100

  I would like it to appear:

  Honda

  Agreement of 2005-2010 part No. 4214-0100

  Civic number 2005-2010 part 4214-0100

  Odyssey 2005-2010 part No. 4214-0100

  Can someone please give me some advice?

  Thank you!

  Although this can be easily accomplished in a data merge, it's probably not the right way (data fusion) to borrow in the production of a catalogue.

  First suggestion: Catalog Plugin

  Second suggestion: If the cost of the additional software is a problem, look in the XML workflow

• Merge data error - no present placeholders

  My document merge data has 8 fields on the Master Page. I can preview records, enabling / disabling scroll records (there are twelve).

  Create errors in Document merged with "Cannot create a merged document because no placeholders are present".

  I checked the fields several times; cursor in a field shows correct on the Panel to merge data. My csv source is updated.

  I exported an inx CS3 and CS4 even errors. Saved the csv to txt, tab delimited, file deleted from the Data Source and select the data source, a txt file, identical results.

  It is a fusion of data record 12... could be recording more than all this 5 times now, but if it's a problem, I feel compelled to fix it.

  Win Vista, CS3 and CS4 fully connected to the channel 5.0.4 & 6.0.6

  

  Something weird, but easily fixed. Go to the master page and cut the frame with the fields, then paste in place. They should then display and the merge will take place.

• Merge help print data

  Hi all

  I need help! I design a newsletter using inDesign CS6 CC. My newsletter is 20 pages long and is shipped to the approximately 1000 people. I would like to be able to create a data merge so that I don't have to hand label every newsletter. When I create the fusion of data and export the file as a PDF, I get a large document. I found a way to divide the 1,000 individual records PDF, but I try to print, it's a nightmare.

  Is there a way to create a merged document given in CS6 CC and say somehow the program prints the document in 20 booklets of pages instead of trying to print a brochure it's thousands of pages.

  I'm not affixed to inDesign or Acrobat Pro - or something else in the CC family.

  Thanks again for all the help that can be provided.

  Just thinking here...

  How VDP treatment works when personalization is that data "mail to" is the side of the cover is printed separately with the VDP, gathered with others and then bound using any method. If such a system would work for you and your printing device, then the front page 1000 PDF which also contains the inside covers) is ran and inserted as a sheet of sliding between the rest. Then the finish is made... automatic folding and discontinuous used liaison? In the contrary case the folder and stapling introduced himself as a second process, or even farmed.

• help to merge data

  Hi Experts
  
  need your help for my one of the requirements. My database is oracle 11g.table name is STG_TABLE.

  here for the same value of the column commitment_num if batch_id are different so don't have nothing to do, but if batch_id are the same, I have to record merging
  credit_amount column value must be sum (credit_amount) and all records must be converted into a single record... as below for the above data.

  BATCH_ID     COMMITMENT_NUM     SAP_CREDITMEMO_NUM     SAP_ORDER_NUM     CREDIT_AMOUNT     SAP_CUST_NUM     RECORD_STATUS     RECORD_STATUS_MSG     HANDSHAKE_DATE     SIEBEL_PROCESS_DATE

  Please help me with that and me know if my requirement is not unclear.
  will it be possible using merge?... If I think using simple cursor approce... like take data in the cursor as shown below, then insert the records, but when I should remove existing records then.
  

  CURSOR abc
        IS
           SELECT   commitment_num AS commitment_num,
                    sap_cust_num AS customer_number, batch_id AS batch_id,
                                    ----CRQ000000161235-Allow Debit-Credit both
                    
                    -- Max(Cust_Ref_Num)           As Customer_Reference,--Commented on 30-aug-2011 madhuri,as per reqt cust-ref should be in *ctl table and invoice# should be in *adcoms table
                    COUNT (*) AS line_count,
                    
                    --Sum(Commitment_Amount)      As Committed_Amount, -- As Per Conversation With Greg Send The Sum Of Approved Amount As Committed Amount.
                    SUM (approved_amount) AS approved_amount,
                    sales_org AS sales_org
                                   --CRQ124450 KS Canadian payments in 9AM feed
               FROM stg_vg_credits
              WHERE TRUNC (last_update_date) <= TRUNC (SYSDATE)
                     AND siebel_process_date IS NULL and record_status='S'
                     and sales_org='2403'
                                            --CRQ000000161235-Allow Debit-Credit
           GROUP BY commitment_num, sap_cust_num, sales_org, batch_id; 

  You can use MERGE to update some rows and delete others. Here's the code, then I'll explain.

  MERGE INTO stg_tables o
  using (
    SELECT rid, rn, sum_credit_amount FROM (
      SELECT ROWID rid,
      count(*) OVER(PARTITION BY commitment_num, batch_id) cnt,
      row_number()
       over(PARTITION BY commitment_num, batch_id order by handshake_date desc) rn,
      sum(credit_amount)
       OVER(PARTITION BY commitment_num, batch_id) sum_credit_amount
      FROM stg_tables A
      WHERE batch_id IN('2806','2805')
    )
    WHERE cnt > 1
  ) n
  ON (o.ROWID = n.rid)
  WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET credit_amount = sum_credit_amount
  delete where rn > 1;
  

  Examine the inner query in the USING clause: NTC is the number of lines having the same commitment_num and batch_id. RN numbers these lines, including 1 for the new line. I also have the sum of the credit amount and the IDENTIFIER of the line.

  Now to the outer query in the USING clause: I keep only the lines with the CNT > 1, because others need not be merged. It is important, because you don't want to update the lines that are already OK.

  Now the MERGE statement corresponds to the table and my USING the ROWID clause, which can be very effective. It updates all rows with the new amount of credit, but then he removes all lines except the most recent.

  If you are running twice the MERGER, you will see that the second time it merges "0 rows. No unnecessary update!

• Need help to merge data

  Hello

  I use Indesign CS5 on Leopard. With the help of the .csv file. When I click on 'Preview' before merging the file (or after it is merged), the data field placeholder disappears and there is no visible, just an empty space. Someone saw?

  Thank you veru much!

  I actually use an Excel file, which saves as a .csv file.

  I assume that as much, but the .csv file is just plain text and can be opened in Notepad or TextEdit. Every once in a while the excel file can have something like a control inserted line break character (those usually appear in the text as \n after the merger, in my experience, however) so it never hurts to take a look at the queue outside of Excel and save back to a plain old ASCII text editor. Your recommended symbol is probably not a problem, is, in itself, but if there are additional commands to do positioning, they might be.

  I'm not saying that for sure there is a problem in the text file, either. Godd first not for troubleshooting.

  Data merge works with a simpler file? This is another important step. If the problem is not isolated in a data file, it is more likely is corruption somewhere in ID itself.

  A third thing to try is to see if the same data file will merge on another system (another indicator of a problem in the file data or on your system). If you don't have another system of your choice or a close friend, one of us will be happy to try it for you.

• Merge data does not display the Images

  It's my first go with data merge well. I have my master put in place and have my csv file mélange successfully in a multi-page data merge document.

  For reference, I use ID CC and Windows 7

  My problem is data, image fusion.

  My csv is configured using the ' @image as a header, and I use a relative link in the sub domain (/image-folder/image.jpg)

  ID recognizes the header image and watch 'image' in the data source, but when I assign to my frame nothing appears. I have the mount on the frame.

  My path seems to be correct, as if I change, my image does not appear in the layers palette.

  I don't see the image when I hit "preview" in the data merge palette, or when I perform the fusion of data itself.

  Really need help!

  It turns out to not be a path problem, it seems that InDesign is incredibly buggy when dealing with the merger of data! Display my images were not purely because of the layout and I don't want to say there was a mistake in there, but move a text frame a few px left or right has resolved... I don't know why, unfortunately, but it was a beautiful day.
