Looking for bad data merge fields
I'll set up a catalogue with nearly 2000 products. Whenever I try to connect my database using data fusion and I click the Preview button, I get an error that says: "there is 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. "With 2000 records, I can not easily/quickly check list by list for errors that are causing the problem. Does anyone know how to find incorrect records in the Indesign file, so I can fix my spreadsheet? I'm sure that the data in my spreadsheet must be correct.
Thank you!
Joel is probably correct, however:
Does anyone know how to find incorrect records in the Indesign file, so I can fix my spreadsheet? I'm sure that the data in my spreadsheet must be correct.
Just delete the records of the half, and then try again. If you get the error, you know which half is in. Need you to log2 (1000)-online 10 divisions to find the problem.

Linking the data with JavaScript for PDF link merge field
Hi all
In InDesign, I use the data merge to generate a PDF file with data from a data source file. The fusion of data will fill a product ID field. I want to write a script that changes the product number field so that it contains a JavaScript link in the PDF file.
For example, the number of the product [1234-567] will launch: app.launchURL ("plsddr://localhost/1234-567 |") * "(, true);" When the product number link is clicked on in the PDF file.Can anyone provide an example of how this could be done, or point me in the right direction? If there is a better way to go about it, please let me know.
Thank you!
What findText returns is a list of text, but it is completely interchangeable with the word. It seems that InDesign can change at will between the characters, words, lines, paragraphs, and stories.
Text can consist of a single SpecialCharacter (a column break, or a return or one of the SpecialCharacters enumeration) or a "String" standard JavaScript object - a simple Unicode string.
The property that "holds" the text is 'content' - so, it all adds to 'get' the text that has been found, you will use generally
Next = list.pop ();
Alert ("the text content of this is"' + next.contents +' "'");
and you can build further on it - use it as a URL HyperlinkDestination or something like that. The fixed points of point-'next' - text 'live', it was found in, so be careful not to change. Do something like
Next.contents = "hey what happened."
will change the text in your document. But it is also useful to add, for example, a hyperlink to the actual position on this text has been found.
(A Council about the changes: you want to change your document, the original findText elements stressed will be ruined once you changed one!) To avoid this, work backwards from the last element found at the first. findText (true) reverses the order of the found items, from the last to the first - see JS help on that).
Regarding
(Also, how to print the contents of a Word object?)
It depends on what you mean by "printing". On a printer?

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.

How to change a data merge field in a 'head '?
Hi all
I'm trying to figure out how to change the green bar, so I can replace < < Expertise > > - < < Expertise > > with another field of my excel data source. I want to replace it with the Category field in the data merge box, but I can't change this green bar.

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."

Creation of OrgNetwork looking for bad vdnscope
I have all the basic settings made on vShield Manager and vSphere. We use Nexus 1Kv.
When I try to create a new network of Org, he's always looking for vddnscope-1. But, vdnscope-1 does not exist, and the vdnscope-2 exist for this pool of network. What could be the reason that is looking for a different vdnscope?
I only said that it was the more common because that's what I saw. Each mode should be fine, and neither is "featured" on the other.
I think what you might be hitting is a bug, where vCloud affects the scope from 1, whereas it should not be.
You should be able to stop all cells, then look at the network_pool table in the database of the vCloud Director. updated to show the correct value of vdnscope (vdnscope-2 in your case) and start vCloud Director.
After that, it should work perfectly.

Hello
Please forgive me if this has been discussed in this forum already. If so, please point me to this discussion.
What I'm trying to do, it's a data merge InDesign with a (CSV) file delimited by commas. I created the CSV file by using the command "SaveAs CSV" with Office Excel 2013. The problem I have is with records that contain multiple lines in the same area. After reviewing the merged InDesign document, I noticed that the results are inaccurate for the rest of this record. When it gets to the record following some fields are filled with the remaining records of the previous record.
I'm sorry if I'm not explaining this very well, but the results are strange and I hope others have similar results and can offer a solution.
Thank you
Greg
You can't have line breaks in a cell. The solution is to use a code for the break, and then run find/replace after the merger to change the code to break you.

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.

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?

Just looking for best way to do... 2 data joined tables
looking for advice this.
using oracle 11 g.
I have data im going to use in a view to update TABLE1 monthly.im going to see all these data via php in a web page.
I would like to add a few modifiable of table2 values who will join table1.
-drop the table1 table:
create table table1)
number of value1,
Number of value2,
number of value3,
Number of VALUE4,
number of Value5
);
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (1119,4,54,772,643);
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (22,345,55,278,446);
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (314,193,75,542,676);
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (13,396,59,232,670);
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (41,2003,505,232,7096);
-select * from table1
create the table2 table)
VCLE NUMBER,
NUMBER OF VERSION_NUM,
COMMENTAIRES1 VARCHAR2 (50).
comments2 varchar2 (50)
);
-select * from table2
Vcle in table2 is a concatenation of value1, value2, value3 on table1.
So the end result is on the web page of all the values in table 1, unmodifiable, 2 reviews in table2 fields that can be changed. A user can change these fields, then they will save in table2 with the key of concatenation. the reason why I want to do like this, with a second table is because whenever a user changes these fields I want to insert again to occur in this table, not an update, which will add a trigger, I have a new version number. This sounds like a mistake to do it this way?
The strategy of the concatenation is a mistake.
Concatenation requires strings, then you would be conversion 3 numbers to strings to concatenate, then convert it to a number stored in table2.
If I insert = 11-v1, v2 = 11, v3 = 11 then insert v1 = 1, v2 = 11, v3 = 111. I generates the same Vcle and either corrupt your data or make it impossible to tell what row in table1 = 111111 Vcle should concern.
A substitution used as primary key in table 1 key is a way to fix this design.

Conditional fields with data merge
I have, I think, would be a common question for people using Data Merge in InDesign for cards.
I have several fields phone, with a letter from small caps to indicate what type (mobile, direct, fax, etc.), that is:
M < < phone > >
D < < Tel Direct > >
If an employee has only one phone line, how can I do so that the entire line is omitted from the final merged doc?
In the past, I just went in the game final and quickly deleted lines / extra characters, but I know that there is a way!
Thank you.
The main character must be included in the paragraph style, even if it's a Word. If deleting empty lines turned on, these main characters are removed too.
To add the main characters in a paragraph style, you can define a list numbered without numbers but with the main character and space or tab between.

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.dataMergePreferences.recordsPerPage = RecordsPerPage.MULTIPLE_RECORD;

fields var = myDocument.dataMergeProperties.dataMergeFields;
for (var f = 0, l = fields.length; e < l; f ++) {}

countFrames ++; INCREASE THE NUMBER TO ADD DATA FUSION TEXT PLACEHOLDER FOR THE NEXT BLOCK OF TEXT
capPerPage ++;
}
}
}
Hello
To verify this change (replace for...) loop)
var countFrames= 0, currLabel, capPerPage; for (i=0; i
Notice countFrames starts at 0.
