Can Indesign CC generate QR codes from a data merge?

Looking to generate QR codes from a data merge.  Currently I have to manually generate the codes with a batch generator and then save them out as links and import them with the data merge.
If Indesign CC could generate them all in one swoop that would remove a lot of external steps in the process.
Is there any way to do this?

Not directly from the data merge panel or flyout. This would be something that may be able to be scripted, but I haven't seen a script that will do this... yet.
There are PAID third party plugins like Meadows Publishing Solutions that will do this. http://www.meadowsps.com/free2d is a taster of what it can do. XMPie is another one, or teacup software has one as well.

  • InDesign Help | Generate QR codes | CC

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/generate-qr-code.html

    There seems to be a problem with the QR generator widget. If you make an email QR, and then try to delete it and make any other type, it seems to get stuck in email mode and you can't change it after that. Even if you scrub the file, create a new file and try to create a QR, the old values stick, and you can't change it.
    Is this an "oops"???

  • Is there any way to name the records from a data merge?

    I have a spreadsheet, that has all the names for the images I'm using for a data merge. What I want to do is name the resulting records after the filenames in one of the columns in the spreadsheet. Is there anyway to do this? Or is there some other way to individually name the records from a data merge? I don't have any scripting prowess, so I can't really mess with that. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    You merge it along with the others, just like any field. ID cannot do the naming for you during the merge, but most spreadsheets have lots of logic capabilities that should allow you to extract a name for the record from the filename in the column of your choice. The only reason ID knows to find the image instead of writing the filename is that you've used a special name for the field.

  • How can I create multiple QR Codes from an Excel File?

    Hi there,
    I am currently trying to set up business cards with a QR Code on the back of each card. Therefore I have an excel spreadsheet, which contains all the data necessary for the business card like name, function, e-mail adress,... the data is then filled in automatically by using the standard function with tags for each column (e.g. table column name is filled in as <<name>> in the specific location on the business card and once executed it is matched with the data from the excel file).
    Is there anything which could help me to automate the personalization of the QR Codes?
    All the best

    For free? Not at the moment. CC does have the ability to create QR codes but only one at a time. In CS6 (perhaps earlier versions?), regular poster/advanced scripter Jongware devised a script to prepare a QR code but again, could only do one at a time.
    However, someone did build on Jongware's QR code to do this from an InDesign file that had the necessary information in tagged text boxes and would prepare QR codes accordingly. However, it would leave them in the InDesign file (e.g. not separate EPS/PDFs).
    So, a long workaround would be:
    install the script and read the thread on the adobe forums (jongware's QR code plus the additional improvement): http://forums.adobe.com/message/4787823#4787823
    data merge the current data into the indesign file using the similar structure as the fourth poster in that post had written
    once all the QR codes are written, create a PDF of the file and then use one of various methods to break up the PDF into single page files: http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-indesign-files-into-i ndividual-pdfs-that-is/
    It's a lot of work to generate multiple QR codes. A paid solution offered by either Meadows DPS or Woodwing (two companies I have no affiliation with whatsoever) or any other plug-in provider for that matter: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/indepth.displayTab3.html may be an alternative that is worth pursuing.

  • How to generate GUI code from parsed XML file?

    hai,
    I have to generate GUI code after parsing any configuration XML file as input.Now i have parsed my XML file and got its attributed and i want to get some idea of how to map the parsed XML attributes to the java code to build GUI code.

    Hello,
    1. I like to create data type from a XML file structure, which contains the data structure ?
    XML fields will need to be taken note of to see which is repeating or not. You can also load the XML into a third-party tool such as Altova XML Spy and then generate an XSD from there. You will need to import the XSDs into PI under external definitions. However, this does not guarantee business interoperability, as such, it is always best to ask the provider for the XSDs or WSDL. It will also save you a lot of time from guessing which fields are needed or not.
    2. How to create custom node function in graphical mapping editor ?
    In your graphical mapping editor, on the lowest left corner, there is an icon there that says Create New Function. You must take into account their return types:
    1. Single Values = String
    2. Queue/Context (no return type) thus resultList is used.
    Hope this helps,

  • Where can I find the install code from when I purchased Mountain Lion?

    Going to get a new hard drive, my local store said if I could provide the install code for Mountain Lion that they would only charge me $20 to install the OS on the HD.  How can I find the install code when I purchased it.  I bought it Nov. 2012. 

    That's only applicable if you got Mountain Lion through the now-discontinued free upgrade program and haven't redeemed the code for it.
    If you bought it from the Mac App Store or have redeemed a download code for it, log into it with the Apple ID and password associated with that copy of it, click on the Purchases tab, and redownload it from there.
    If you got it with a new Mac, start it up with the Command and R keys held down and reload it from the recovery partition.

  • Can I export unused VPP codes from Configurator?

    We have "unsupervised" many iPads that had previously had Pages and Keynote loaded (we imported the VPP codes to Configurator)
    Can I "remove" the codes from Configurator to distribute them differently? When I sign in to VPP the codes are all "redeemed".

    To the best of my knowledge, once you import an Excel spreadsheet of VPP codes into Configurator those codes can only be used on that computer. You can install or remove apps from iPads and reallocate apps on that computer but can't take the codes out of Configurator to use them in another instance of Configurator or in an MDM for redistribution.
    The exception would be if you wanted to migrate from redemption codes to managed distribution in which case unredeemed codes or codes redeemed through Apple Configurator could be changed to managed distribution licenses. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6015 for details on this process.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to generate a number from two dates

    I am 'new' at this of using Numbers for anything.  What I want to do AND I can't seem to figure it out, is to generate a 'days total' from two dates.  I get paid S.S. on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.  I have X number of dollars to spend.  In order to view each day how much money I have for the rest of the month, I need to be able to obtain how many days are left in the period.  I know what the fixed day is for the end and could key that in.  I want it to be able to take the current day for the calculation without my having to key IT IN each day.  Then I could use that returned number for other functions.  I did look into "Functions" screen on the right hand side, read them several times, tried some but have not succeeded.  Can someone here help this 68 year young man to figure this out?  Thanks

    you can use the function TODAY() to get the date.
    then you can compute a duration (the difference between two dates).  Data/time is a single type of variable in Numbers.  Meaning that a complete date/time value includes both a date and a time.  When you enter one without the other Numbers assumes the other portion.
    you can subtract any two dates to get the duration.
    The format for a date is:
    1/2/2015 12:09A
    2 Jan 2015 12:09A
    a duration would look like:
    3w 4d 6h 15m 45s 76ms
    Three weeks, four days, six hours, fifteen minutes, forty five seconds, seventy six milliseconds
    you can use any combinations of these parts for a duration
    A1
    =TODAY()
    B1
    =EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)
    C1
    =B1−A1

  • How can I prevent Safari/iCloud Keychain from saving data in our password field?

    We have a web-based management system where administrators can set and update passwords for individual users. While I love iCloud keychain personally, the problem we are finding is that if the user, once prompted by Safari to Save the password in iCloud Keychain for Autofill, actually clicks 'Save Password', then our page wants to autofill that same password for any selected user or newly added user (and since we don't allow duplicates, constant errors result).
    So the basic question: is there a way in HTML or Javascript to set form fields - or an entire form or div - to be ignored by iCloud Keychain, even if they are username or password fields.
    We know we could just tell all our Safari users to disable in preferences with a pop-up banner, but that would be unfortunate (and IE-like)
    (If this is the wrong place to find this type of info, any clue appreciated. Naturally we've searched a bunch already)

    Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
    Yes. Follow these steps, starting on any one of your iOS devices or Macs that is using iCloud Keychain:
    Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain and turn off “Approve with Security Code”.
    Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
    Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account details.
    Deselect “Allow approving using security code”.
    Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
    After you complete these steps, your keychain data will remain locally on your devices, but changes to your keychain information will not push to your other devices or the cloud unless you turn iCloud Keychain back on. If you want keychain data to push to all of your devices, but not to the cloud, turn on iCloud Keychain on each device as described earlier in this document, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.

  • Restrict PR/PO/GR for a particular company code from particular date

    Hi Experts
    How we can restrict PR/PO/GR for a particular company code from a particular date?
    I know PR is not directly linked with company code
    PO can be restricted by deactivating the assignment between company code & plant
    GR- we can use posting period option.?
    Suggest me the best solution for the above requirment.
    Thanks/karthik

    hi
    Obvoiyusly , you can stop the company code posting by not activating the month end closing of periods (MMPV) in MM and similarly in FI ( OB52).
    By removing the assignment you can stop PO creation for the company code but you need to ensure that all the old, un-finished PO/SA and other related activities are taken care off before that.

    give your format mask at Parameter_name.

  • How to build conditional text from a data merge

    Hi there
    I'm hoping this is not a long shot but I do have a rather large ask (I think). 
    I cannot figure out how to create conditions on values.
    We have two areas that require conditional text. See these areas on the attached image. 
    Features offered - up to 6.  These are identified by defining each feature with a letter, eg 'n' stands for tent site and 'L' stands for seasonal work,  and
    Room type offered - four colour codes with this. These range from "not made up", "made up", "ensuite/madeup" and "ensuite".
    The tab delimited file contains numerous columns for each room type - single, double, twin, share and dorm rooms that offer the 4 room type categories - see point 2 above. 
    I cannot figure out how to clarify the conditions I require for the conditional text.
    Do I start with making 4 conditions for each room type colour and so-on for the rest of the room types ie single not madeup, single madeup, single madeup ensuite and single ensuite? 
    And if so, how do I create these using the correct conditional code?   Does GREP have anything to do with this and do I need to use its metacharacters like \?
    Can someone perhaps start me off?
    The same goes for the features.  The features are displayed in the spreadsheet per column with either a 'yes' or a 'no' displayed.
    I hope I have provided enough information to get some assistance.
    Thanks so much.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see why you need conditional text. I can see that you may want to color each property in each category differently, to stand out for quick visual communication.
    If each feature (attribute) of each property or venue is represented in one spreadsheet row (record,) you can use data merge to create the whole entry for each property. For example, a property may offer two types of rooms - single and double, and the single may be available as "not made up" only, while the double is available as "ensuite/madeup" and "ensuite."
    In the spreadsheet, in the row for the Acme Inn property, which only offers single not-made-up and single ensuite/madeup rooms, and for the Ajax Hotel property which offers single made-up, single ensuite/madeup, and single ensuite rooms, the cells that contain the data for the merge fields would look like this:
    Property ID
    single not-made-up
    single made-up
    single ensuite/madeup
    single ensuite
    Acme Inn
    $50
    empty cell
    $75
    empty cell
    Ajax Hotel
    empty cell
    $65
    $75
    $85
    On the data-merge layout, each room type's label would be followed by all four data-merge field placeholders, with colors applied, so the single would look like:
    Sgle: <<single not-made-up>> (red) <<made-up>> (yellow) <<ensuite/madeup>> (green) <<ensuite>> (blue)
    NOTE: The colors are applied with named character styles to the data-merge layout in InDesign.
    [EDIT] BAH! I applied colors to the text when composing this post, but they were removed when I posted. [/EDIT]
    When you set up the merge with Remove Blank Lines for Empty Fields enabled (checked) so the empty cells are ignored, the result resembles this:
    For the Acme Inn:      Sgl: $50 (red) $75 (green) $85 (blue)
    For the Ajax Hotel:    Sgl: $65 (yellow) $75 (green) $85 (blue)
    The separator character between the prices in your example is a special issue. It could be solved in the spreadsheet by creating calculated columns between the price columns, with "IF" formulas that test for values or empty cells and display the separator or nothing. If you choose this method, you'd need to insert fields between the placeholder fields, to hold the calculated fields' contents.
    Another approach here would be to follow the data-merge process with a GREP script that inserts separators where they're needed.
    Search Google for terms like "InDesign data-merge tutorial," "InDesign data-merge remove blank lines," "InDesign multiple records per page," and similar phrases without quotes.
