Complex Data Merge
Hi Indesign wizards.
I'm doing a complex product catalogue for a client. It contains around 1.800 products spread out over a little more than a hundred pages. The catalogue is in four languages and is to be exported both with and without prices. Each product contains various details, an image, a barcode (eps), an icon (eps). Because the catalogue is being printed in four languages, we create it so that it is only the black printing plate that varies.
I create all four languages at once by doing them on different layers, but Indesign always crashes for a couple of hours and then all of a sudden is finished. I think a data merge takes around 4 hours.
So my question is, if any of you have experience with this kind of complex data merges. Is there a way for me to speed it up by tweeking some part of indesign, using other versions, using addons? I found out that CS6 is the fastest, much faster than CC and CC14.
My computer is an early 2013 macbook pro retina, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
I hope someone have some good insights
Cheers
Rasmus
EPS is no longer a recommended format for placing in ID, and I suspect that it may be causing some of the delay, but 1800 records is a lot, and converting 1800 barcodes and icons to .ai would take some time, too.
Truth be told, though, this is probably just more complex than Data Merge was meant to handle, and if you do this catalog on a regular basis it would probably be worth the cost of investing in one of the commercial catalog plugins.

Is there a way to export / extract a document's used data merge placeholders?
Is there any way, by feature, scripting or XML trickery, to extract a list of the Data Merge placeholders that are actually used in an Indesign document?
InDesign clearly has this data - it uses it in the Data Merge window to tell you which pages the listed placeholders appear on. Is there any way to get the list of used placeholders as a CSV, list, text file, etc etc?
I'm looking for a way on a very complex Data Merge project to ease fixing errors and to ease paring the data sheets down to only the fields that are in use (out of hundreds).The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
That's how the software is designed to work.
What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
1. If it's just text
If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
2. You can use InCopy
This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point. -
InDesign - Data merge for generate complex invoice for 10 000 customers
Is InDesign is a good solution to generate invoice with data merge with complexe role like multiple item charges, etc.
Thanks
Frédéric HébertData merge is strictly a simple tool. It cannot handle variable numbers of fields other than to delete blank lines.
It's great for things like address labels and directories. -
How do I automate a large catalog with several unique sections using Data Merge and Microsoft Excel?
My boss would like me to use data merge to create a catalog with 300+ pages and unique data fields on almost every page. It is an informational catalog that would contain pictures and several unique fitment and specification fields for each product that we sell and manufacture on each page. For years the catalog was made and modified manually in quark express. Is it possible to use data merge to recreate such a complex document? Does anyone have any useful reccomendations or links for tackling this project? I really appreciate any advice or help.
Thank You,
Kevin

Inconsistent placement of anchored text frame in data merge document
Just writing up this bug so that anyone else who encounters it can find out what's going on with less head-scratching.
It seems that InDesign's data merge feature gets confused when there are anchored objects in a text frame that's anchored inside another text frame, which can result in:
exported PDFs that don't match the InDesign preview when viewed in Acrobat (so, nasty surprises on some pages after exporting)
InDesign previews that - bizarrely - show differently depending on whether you navigated to the preview by hitting the arrow keys in the Data Merge box or by entering a number.
(sadly I can't provide a file for confidentiality reasons - but the problem point had multi-line data merge entries, a text frame that was anchored in another text frame of equal width, and anchored images and text frames in this anchored text frame)
There were certain entires where, if I navigate to them in the preview using the 'next' and 'previous' keys, there was 4mm less space between the nested text frame and the previous line than if I navigate to it by entering the number. Exporting as a PDF through data merge used the variant with more space.
Re-working the area in question so that the nested text frame wasn't needed seems to have removed the problem (but loses the ability to vertically align these elements in a fixed size frame that is in the text flow).You didn't say what version of ID, or whter a single or multiple record per page merge, but the Preview is known to be buggy for multiple records since CS5 and might be for single records as well.
I have an annual directory that is built by data merge with one section in each listing as an anchored frame, and I've never had a problem, but it's not as complex as your description, nor do I ever merge to PDF (though I've heard here from several users that it's more reliable).
One thing you might want to try is merging without the preview step, but do it from a "fresh" file by copying and pasting your placeholders into a new document. If the problem is with the preview it seems that it "infects" the file and even merging without touching the preview button may not work. -
My company has really embraced the variable data craze, with one problem. It takes far too long. I've been primarily using InDesign's Data Merge function, but I routinely get system lockups and InD crashes even when merged the simplest of documents. I often find myself having to split the file into several small (less than 1000, or sometimes, less than 500) pieces in order to get the merge to complete. This is a huge ordeal when dealing with lists over 10,000.
These haven't been very complex documents, for the most part; usually some text and a graphic or two, like a signature or a PDF form.
However, we've done one very complex merge, a very nice peice with lots of color, and it took - and this is no exaggeration - over 30 hours to complete the PDF export.
There's got to be a better way, doesn't there? Will throwing RAM and/or new processors at the problem help much? I'm running CS3 on a G5 with 1GB RAM (yeah, I know, but I don't control the purse strings).I've found a neat method to avoid this kind of InDesign bulkiness. Basically, you can use the Watermark feature of Acrobat 8 to take a PDF of only the variable data, on otherwise blank pages, and add the PDF of the static text as a watermark background on every page.
You can even nudge the watermark image around until the variable and static areas match up precisely, then apply it to all pages (or a subset, or odd/even pages only, etc.)
I use InDesign's Data Merge and Text Variables for some complex labels that are driven by a spreadsheet, and it's been sometimes unreliable. The Acrobat watermark feature can go a long way to making it more reliable I think.

InDesign Data Merge Question....
I have a calendar created using the data merge feature within InDesign. The only question I have thus far is on each day of the week, we currently have a text frame linking to a .txt file that our customers add events to. How do I link the specific .txt files to the frame? I cant use the image function in my excel file as it does not reconize it as that. Is there another way to script/put this in my source file to link and place the text in the .txt files (individual txt files for each day of the year).?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't think I really undertand the structure of the data file you have. My sense, though is that this may not really be a data merge project.
At its heart, Data Merge is is very primitive. It's great for mailing labels, but can get defeated by more complex projects. For the merge to work, all of the data must be structured the same for each record in terms of the number of fields, and the text you want to include needs to be in the fields (as far as I know, you cannot use a pointer to an external text file in a field the same way that you can use a pointer to an image). You have a choice when setting up the merge template, though, of putting the plceholders on the document page or on the master page.
If you put the placeholders on the master page, the data can be updated AFTER the merge, at least in theory (doesn't seem to work well with images), but it doesn't really sound to me like that's what you need, but it is a possibility if you have a basic documenet and the clients add text later.
In any case, if you are letting the client add text, you need to add that text directly into your data file, either in Excel and re-export the entire data set, or set up some sort of find/change routine to replace tags in the text file with the text supplied by the client. -
Data Merge Hanging Up on Import
Hi,
I'm using InDesign's Data Merge to build a catalog from a CSV file saved as .csv with Excel. Every time I try to import the data, InDesign stalls out and then "quits unexpectedly" after about 5 minutes. I can't imagine the data file is too big to import, as it has only 50 or so records now (there will be close to 1000 when the database is complete). Any troubleshooting tips?
Thanks

InDesign won't even make it to the preview stage, when I select the data source is when the program freezes.
As for the line breaks, all the records are the same length with no split cells or anything in Excel. However, there are cells with no values (empty, not zero). In the .csv that is translating to item A, item B,,,,, Item G and so on, which worked fine before the formulas came along.
I have a lot of logic formulas going on in the Excel spreadsheet to get the values into certain cells. Its actually befuddled Excel to the point of shutdown now, so I'm assuming that if Excel can't handle it then I can;t expect InDesign to fare better. However, in my InDesign catalog I need, on a table row, to have a field with a label displayed for it if there is a value in that field in the .csv, and have no label displayed if there is no value for that field.
For example, if the record has a hooked beak, I need the label to be beak: so the line to read beak: hooked
If the record has no beak, then InDesign would skip that line altogether and go on to the next one. Like so:
<<record name>>
<<beak>><<beak value>>
<<tail>><<tail value>>
<<etc>><<etc value>>
where <<beak>> and <<tail>> are also fields in the Excel spreadsheet, each cell's contents a logical expression based on the existence of a value in the corrosponding beak value and tail value cells. English: "If value does not equal empty, then write beak: , else write nothing." When converted to a .csv, the field's values are preserved, not the formulas.
Does that make sense? And is there a way to do that with InDesign so I don't need umpteen thousand formulas going in Excel? That would pobably solve the clog.
Thanks. -
How Do I get data merge to work without creating duplicate pages in a single page native file?
I've called Adobe about this and they indicated it was some kind of setting that needed to be changed in InDesign, but wouldn't tell me how to do it unless I paid for an "incident pack" and talked with technical support.
Problem: I have a single page document in InDesign CS5. It's a direct-mail postcard with large high-res images and complicated graphics on it. I want to merge a list of recipients names/addresses from Excel with this single-page design. Excel document has 2,000 names in it.
I successfully create the merge using InDesign's data merge feature, but it creates a new InDesign document with 2,000 pages in it. Each page is a duplicate of my original file, but with different addresses on each page. Because of the multiple records and the high res images it has created 2,000 duplicates of - InDesign crashes. It also took about 4 hours to do the merge.
There has got to be a better way to merge data w/o it created the same page over and over again.
I can't make a pdf to solve this problem becasue I have to work with an in-house printer and they do a poor job of printing from pdf. So, I always send them native files. This printer does not have variable data software. However, if that is the fast and easy solution to this problem - I will force them to purchase it.
Any advise or solution to this problem would be appreciated. Is there a setting in InDesign that needs to change so it doesn't repeat the single page design 2,000 times and cause InDesign to crash?
Thank you.That's exactly how Data Merge works. If it's on the page, it gets duplicated. 2000 records is a lot, so I'm not sure if the images or the sheer number is what's slowing things down.
One thing you can try is to moove everything EXCEPT the merge placeholders to a master page, then assign the [None] master to the page with the placeholder anbd do the merge. Change the master to the one with your static content after the merge. That might speed up the merge, but it won't do anything for the file being 2000 pages that each has to RIP for printing. The best way to deal with this is to find a printer who can do VDP printing and give him the template file and your data file, and let him do the merge in the print stream. -
Automatization and data merge in CS3
Hi there,
Let me first sketch the problem. As an organization we publish a weekly booklet with a calendar and information about things about to happen, etc. This is all made in InDesign with a header on the first page (only on the first page), followed by the calendar and then a big text field on multiple pages with all the different subjects (and not in different text fields because it's the only way to be able to add an extra topic without having to move all the fields automatically). All the different topics are sent to us by mail, but it's a very time consuming job to sort them all out and some topics are easily forgotten.
So, our goal is to let people add topics on the server, which returns - when the deadline is due - us a txt file with all the information (title, text, author, email, calendar item yes or no, calendar information, ...) needed. We then tried to use Data Merge to do the job, but this messes the pages up (the header we only want on the first page comes on every other page as well), it's not so easy to make the calendar items separately and instead of putting all the topics in order in the big text field it creates a new page for every topic.
Is there an efficient way of doing this job, or are we overlooking some options to make it work with Data Merge? Thanks!That sounds to be beyond the capabilities of DataMerge. Investigate setting up an XML structure and importing your data
as a tagged XML file.

Page Numbers Not Appearing in Data Merge Document?
Hello, hopefully someone can help. I am pretty new to InDesign but learning a lot. I am creating a member directory of about 200 pages (about 2800 records merged from .csv to InDesign 6). Everything is working fine with the merge, except generating the page numbers. I tried adding page number at the bottom of the page to the master BEFORE merging. But if I do that, it greys out the "multiple records per page" option when trying to perform the Data Merge (using "Create merged Document"). So, I tried adding the page number to the A-master AFTER creating the merged document, but the page number is not appearing on any of the pages. There must be a way to do this, can anyone help?
(FYI - to generate the auto page numbers, I am going to the Type-Insert Special Character-Markers-Current Page Number, and placing that within a text field at the bottom of the page. Thanks in advance. )Here is a screen shot. I have placed it on the A-Master. See Screenshot#1. Screenshot #2 shows Page 70 with no page number (and no other pages have page numbers that I can see. Thanks for your advice on fixing....
Sorry, here is screenshot #2, (with personal details redacted but the records are there behind the grey boxes): -
Data merging: how to get multiple records in single text frame?
Hi
I'm experimenting with data merging in InDesign CS3. The biggest stumbling block I've come across is trying to get my records to flow as continuous text in a single text frame (which would, ideally, autoflow onto new pages in the document). The records vary considerably in length, and so I can't just create a standard text frame to repeat on the page.
Perhaps data merging isn't the best way of doing this and I should be learning to script instead. I feel like I'm just one step away, though.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.OK, new scenario now:
Is it possible to set a text box to auto-resize to fit the content that comes in during the data merge?
I have placed one of my data fields in a text box with a stroke and fill, and placed this as an anchored object in the main text box with the other fields. The problem is that the length of text in this field varies considerably, and I'd like the text to fit snugly within its box. Ideally this text box would not appear at all if the field is blank for a particular record.
I hope I've explained all of that clearly enough. Any ideas? -
How can I use data merge, within a master, within a book?
Hi all,
I am producing an 84pp catalogue for multiple brands.
I have it set up as:
1x .indd document per spread
Master styles within one .indd document for black text, white text etc.
Book setup to contain all of the .indd files to make up the 84pp book
Now, my problem is I have to change the footer text and references depending on the brand, so I can have the footers saying 'Call Brand A on 123 4567' or 'Call Brand B on 567 1234' and have various in-text references change from Brand A to Brand B and vice versa.
I have a data merge on each of the masters in my .indd style source looking at a simple .csv of:
Brand Name
URL
Phone Number
Brand A
www.branda.com
0800 123 4567
Brand B
www.brandb.com
0800 567 1234
This works fine on the masters within the source .indd.
But, when I close this master style source and go into another .indd document within the book (after synchronising) I see the <<Brand Name>> container but, when I export the documents it does not populate the book with the data - it keeps the containers.
Obviously with a normal in-document Data Merge you'd click 'Create Merged Document' but I don't want to export each page, and I have PDF print presets / .joboptions file with settings for the book.
Any advice on how to get this to work?
Thanks!
AndyI'm not really following the workflow here, but this seems like it might be better suited to Conditional Text than to Data Merge.

How to create multiple editable PDFs from data merged Indesign file
Hi
This is quite complicated but I'm hoping someone can help me and hoping I can explain it too!
I am working on a project for a client. She wants to send 150 people a 6 page PDF with fields to complete and return to her.
She has an Excel spreadsheet with some of the fields completed already so these will be Data Merged into InDesign CS6.
The short version of the question goes like this:
Can you automate the process so that once all the data is in the InDesign file, it can then create a PDF every 6 pages all in one go?
For those still interested, the long version of the question goes like this:
I have created 3 pages in InDesign with fields to complete and used the 'Data Merge' facility to add the Excel info.
I have created 3 more pages with blank fields to fill in.
Then I have made all fields editable using the 'Buttons and Forms' facility in the Interactive menu.
Then I have created an interactive PDF. Then I have opened that PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and saved it as 'Reader Extended PDF' and 'Enable Additional Features'
I now have an Editable PDF with half the fields filled in and half blank to be filled in and this can be saved and returned.
Now, this would be great if it was only one or two. But I need to create 150 different versions and this is just for the Pilot study. If all goes well, this will go to 5,000 people and I can't be creating 5,000 seperate PDFS!!
At this stage, I am just focussing on the 150. So again, going back to the original question, is there a script that could be written either to break up the 1st PDF every 6 pages into 150 different PDFS? Is there even a way of extending that script to Save as Reader Extended etc? Is there a simple idea that I'm missing? Are there any ways to do this? I can use 'Created Merged Documents' to make 150 x 6 pages in Indesign so can anything be done from there?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Thanks

How do I generate a data merge in InDesign from an excel spreadsheet which includes a barcode
Can you please advise if the following process is possible within InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).
We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The data merge is for several thousand records.
We have a customer-supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, one of which is a number that ultimately needs to print as a barcode when we make the data merge in InDesign.
As you would expect, the conventional six fields data merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the barcode print correctly within the data merge.
We have investigated several possible solutions without success.
Some solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel to convert the number into a barcode whilst still in the spreadsheet - but this doesn't come across correctly when we import the CSV file into the InDesign data merge.
We have investigated certain third party software applications but none provide the full solution we require. Some, for example, appear to create the barcode within the Excel spreadsheet but don't produce the barcode correctly when we data merge in InDesign; and some will allow us to create a one-off barcode within InDesign but have no automated way of retrieving the thousands of Excel numbers and turning them into barcodes.
We have also come across possible 'font' solutions but have had no success with these either.
For a previous job we needed to produce we outsourced to a specialist mailing company, who assured us they produced the whole job (very quickly) within InDesign. They, understandably, won't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they produced the job for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.
Can you please advise?HI MIKE
Thanks again for your reply and your help with this.
I've downloaded the barcode font from the link you supplied.
I've tried three tests - and seem much closer to getting what we need. But I've come up against a couple of issues.
TEST 1 - almost just to see if the downloaded font worked, I simply data merged our source csv file and applied the downloaded barcode font to the serial number in ID. Probably unsurprisingly, this produced a perfectly printed barcode - that wouldn't scan.
TEST 2 - I manually added asterisks before and after the serial number in the first couple of fields and then tried the same process as TEST 1. It produced a perfectly printed barcode which this time DID scan correctly - but obviously the barcode had asterisks on it which I don't want. I just want the serial number. And with thousands of serial numbers we need the addition of the asterisks to happen automatically (which is where your text editor process seems the perfect solution, if we could get that to work).
TEST 3 - Noting your comments about using parenthesis around the serial number, I followed your example of (123456). But Excel won't let me type a parenthesis. It lets me type the parenthesis but then instantly substitutes it with a - (hyphen) before the number in the actual serial number cell and no character at all after the number.
If you have any suggestions or solutions for any of the above they'd be gratefully received! Thanks again for all your help with this.
Kind regards
Rob
