Data Merge Image Alignments

Greetings,
I'm turning to this forum, as nothing I've tried has worked.  In a data merge using only merged images from a CSV Excel Workbook, everything is displaying generally the way I want.  But in one of the frames with a merged image the images will NOT align to the bottom of the frame!  I've tried setting the frame fitting properties *before* placing the image merge field into the frame.  I've tried selecting the previewed, linked image and configuring that.  Tried dragging the image. Nothing!  When I toggle the preview to refresh, it jumps right back up to the top left of the frame.
I know this is not the most widely used practice in InDesign.  But any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Bill

Thanks Mike!  Very kind of you to check back in.  I'm working with version 7.5.3 from CS 5.5 on a Mac.  I made sure it was up to date, and tried a couple more obvioius things.  But still nothing.  I can achieve my end without aligning the image to the bottom of the frame.  But the results are less than optimal.  I always become obsessed with this kind of thing until I can find an answer or a workaround.  One idea I thought might be interesting is to establish a grid and attempt to anchor the image to that grid.  But what makes this especially challenging is that we are dealing with variable image sizes that are linked to files on my hard drive.  If this were a static page, I"d be long done with this.  :-)
To be clear about what I'm doing, I've hand-written variables from a contact list and scanned those contact variables (address, full name, salutation, greeting) into coorisponding directories on my hard drive.  On both the inside of a card as well as the outside of an envelope, I have two VDP frames, one above the other respectively.  In the case of the envelope, for example, I'd like the top frame that contains the contact's full name to format so the full name image sits on the bottom of its frame, so I can control how closely it displays above the frame containing the address below it.
Anyway, still unsolved.
Thanks again for checking back!

  • Data Merge Image Paths

    I'm using CS5 on Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6 at work (I'm at home now, so I can't be more specific at the moment), and experimenting with Data Merge. I place an image, and use the "copy full path" feature in the links manager and paste it into my spreadsheet. When I do the actual merge, it works (the image is imported with the merge) if the path leads to a folder on my hard drive, but not if the path leads to an external drive.
    Does anyone know if the path that the links manager creates is the wrong syntax for using data merge? If so, is there some place where I can read the "rules" of how the text string should look?

    Yes!! It is so frustrating! I have to use my old version of InDesign (CS5) to do all my data merges that have images saved in multiple folders.
    If anyone has any ideas see below for the image error message that I, and my whole art department staff, get in CC 2014.
    I have read through this thread and tried all suggestions... Please help!!

  • Data Merge Image Size

    If I create an image frame and place a data merge field in it, when I do the merge, it makes the image the size of the frame (i.e. either enlarged or shrunk to fit). I would like the image to come in at 100% so that I can use the "fit frame to image" command instead of having to first resize the image back to 100%. I've tried messing with the frame fitting options, but nothing seems to be of any use. If I'm missing something, I hope someone can fill me in.
    In the event that there isn't a way, is this something that can be scripted (after the merge, run the script to select all image frames, set the image size to 100% and then scale the frame to the image).

    In my testing, selecting preserve image and frame size and center in frame keptthe frame at the size drawn int the template and centered the image.  Unselecting the center image put the image inthe upper left corner, and it either left the frame alone if it was larger than the image, or expanded it (even off the page) if the image was too large. Most images seem to have been imported at 100%. I still can't explain why a handful are coming in at 50 or 25%, but there was a bug discovered a year or so ago that caused image scaling for particular pixel dimensions for one user (might have been a combination of dimensions and resolution) which might explain it. I'm merging into a 20 x 24 page filling nearly the entire page withthe frame, and there seems to be space to place these files at 100% so it's a puzzle.
    I haven't seen ay images scaled up...

  • InDesign Data Merge / Image Frame Options

    Hi! I am learning Data Merge and am trying to set-up some product sheets using it. I have done pretty well so far but have an issue with the way images are importing into the different image frames. There are a few different image frames on the layout (main product image, tech drawing, tech icons, etc.), and I need each image frame to have different frame options set.
    So far using the general "Frame Fitting Options" for each has worked for all imported images except for my tech icons (which I can get to import correctly if I choose "Content Placement Options > Fit Frames to Images" from the Data Merge side menu --but when I do this, it applies to all image frames on the page and not just the one selected (which does not work overall).
    Is there another option to get the icon image frames to "Fit Frame to Image" automatically without using the Content Placement Options from the Data merge menu? Is there a way to use the Content Placement Options so it works for individual frames vs all on the layout?
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Liz

    Within the data merge, the frame fitting options apply to all frames that contain variable images, so if you want one variable image to fit image to frame, and another variable image to preserve its size, that cannot be done in the main file, but by manipulating the resulting merge file as P Spier suggests. With Data Merge, there are 8 ways an image can fit inside a frame - see the linked pdf: http://colecandoo.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/framefit.pdf
    This is further complicated when importing ai or pdf images that contain different possible sizes to import (e.g. trim box, bleed box, bounding box, etc). If the "show import options" dialog box is used when placing an image into a data merge file, the settings used in those import options are maintained in the file for the importing of any pdf/ai files via the data merge. What this means is that a data merge containing pdf/ai images can go haywire quickly if the import options change.
    There are some tricks that can be used to control a size of an image in a data merge, provided the images are pdf/ai. If images are being placed by bounding box size in the import options, a way is by drawing a no fill/stroke box behind (or on another layer) of the pdf/ai - this will be used to define the actual size of the image, instead of the top left/bottom right of the image. Similarly, if images are being placed by media box, a similar technique can be used by making the illustrator artboard the size used to define the incoming image size.
    There are also other ways to control the way an image grows/shrinks when importing via the data merge. I have written about that elsewhere, but the trick relies on using making the variable image an anchored object in a larger text frame and controlling its coordinates with text and textbox formatting (e.g. top/bottom/center align; left/right/center, or tab position): Centering “fit frame to images” using InDesign CS6 | Colecandoo!

  • Data Merge Not Displaying Images

    This is my first go using Data Merge and so far so good. I have my master template set up and have successfully merged data from my csv file into a multi-page data merge document.
    For reference I am using ID CC and Windows 7
    My problem is data merging images.
    My csv is set up using '@image as a header, and I am using a relative link in the below field (/image-folder/image.jpg)
    ID recognises the image header and shows 'image' in the data source, but when I assign it to my frame nothing is displayed. I have the fitting set to fit the frame.
    My path seems to be correct, as if I change it, my image does not appear in the layer palette.
    I am not seeing the image when I hit 'preview' in the data merge palette, or when I perform the data merge itself.
    Really in need of some help!

    Try creating a new blank document containing a single graphics frame. Drag the 'image' entry from the Data Merge panel on to the frame. It should now show <<image>> within the frame (see screenshot). See if data merge works now.
    If not, another thing to check is the separators in the file path in your csv file. To get the correct path, place a test image then go to the flyout menu in the Links panel and select Copy Info > Copy Platform Style Path.

  • Can I data-merge with different masters?

    I have a project that has three different page layouts and the choice of layout is data dependent.
    Conceptually what I want is for the 10th field in my data record to tell InDesign which master page to use before merging the data from that record.
    Can such a thing be done with the standard data-merge facility?  Is there an affordable (<$100) third-party solution?  Could this be done with a script?

    Conceptually what I want is for the 10th field in my data record to tell InDesign which master page to use before merging the data from that record.
    Triggering a master using data merge... no, at least not from InDesign only. VDP software such as XMPie (i pick this because I have used the trial version) can do this, BUT it doesn't fulfil the next requirement of being <$100, and I don't think you will find ANY VDP solution for that.
    Instead, I would suggest an alternative. Rather than triggering a master page, I would suggest making a frame in the background of the page that uses a data-merge image field, so if you are changing letterheads mid-stream based on the data in the job, this will work. The catch is, there's no way indesign's data merge will trigger this by itself based on the data in the file. Instead, the data would have to include an additional field that reflects the relevant page background, and if using an excel spreadsheet to make the data, would require some creative if/else statements.
    So it is possible. It slows down the processing of the file tremendously, and I'm not sure how many records are being merged.
    So far as is it scriptable? Yes, most things are scriptable in InDesign. Is someone going to volunteer to prepare such a custom-script for nothing... unlikely.

  • Indesign Data Merge repeating images, mixing up data, etc.

    I'm using ID CC and using data merge for a catalog.
    when i create the merged document it repeats some of the images, uses data for other products and repeats it.
    I've started from scratch, I've avoided the "preview" mode like the plague, I've used CSV and TXT.  I've searched for line breaks in Excel.  What am i doing wrong?

    "Show Import Options". , this will tell you what sort of data file you are uploading
    @Shiv – only to an extend. InDesign cannot see a difference between Unicode UFT-8 or Unicode UTF-16 at this point, it just detects Unicode.
    CSV is an old, can we really say, "file format"?
    It's basically a text file with a csv suffix and some rules, that are or are not implemented. InDesign tries to detect the rules: what character for separating the fields? What character for a line of fields ending?
    InDesign does not verify very much, if there is a orderly grid-like structure in the fields (a row and column structure) with an equal number of "cells" on every row. And a header row that holds the discription. In fact it cannot "see" a header, because the csv-"format" cannot provide a hint…
    CSV is not a file format, see it more as a lose convention and not standardized very much…
    I think Adobe should provide its own format for merging data and a converter tool together with InDesign where you could output to and input from a InDesign table with a header row using whatever formatting is available in InDesign.

  • Data merge with images! cannot get it to work

    I have set up my spread sheet like i usually do for a data merge with an extra column  for the images with i called '@images-
    my images i named the following way
    Macintosh HD:Users:myname:Desktop:test:imagesqrcode_AberdeenENG.png   it didnt work
    i tried
    Users:myname:Desktop:test:imagesqrcode_AberdeenENG.png  it didnt work
    i tried with slashes
    i placed the images in the same file as my in design file and just named it qrcode_AberdeenENG.png that still didnt work
    doesn anyone out there have a solution

    Try placing the images in the same folder as the source file (the .txt file).
    Then you should just be able to use the exact name of the image (no path required).
    I wrote this up in a blog post many years ago (but it hasn't changed):
    http://indesignsecrets.com/data-merging-part-2.php
    I went back to my source files for this example, and it still works in InDesign CS6.

  • Extracting an image data merge field using only an indesign file and not document.dataMergeProperties.dataMergeFields

    Hi,
    I have kind of a weird requirement but I hope you guys can help out.
    I need to extract all the custom fields used in an indesign file without referencing the dataMergeProperties of a document. Sorry if this is a weird request it is just what I've been told (our system needs to not crash when people upload a variety of in design documents to generate high resolution jpg preview documents).
    I can already get all the text custom fields by looking for "<<" and ">>" in the text frames of a document but I'm having a really hard time finding the image custom fields.
    I tried looking at the rectangles for a given page but that didn't seem to help (but maybe i'm missing some there). I also tried looking at the graphics and images collection of a document but this seemed to return only graphics that are hard coded on the in design document and not the custom image fields.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Uggg....
    Found the answer after I realized I was looking at the wrong SDK (5.0 instead of 6.0)
    I'm using the doc.hyperlinkPageItemSources property to get these images. It also looks like you can get the image data merge fields from DataMergeImagePlaceholder (but rememeber I couldn't access this).

  • Issues with images when using data merge

    Here's the deal. We are converting from CS6 to CC2014. I have a file that opens fine in CS6, the merge works fine.
    If I open that file in CC2014 it works fine with the exact same list. But, if I relink a new list or change and update the current list, the data merge no longer works for the images in data merge. Even though nothing has changed in the file links.
    I get the error that it cannot find the images.
    Is this a know issue?
    Mac OSX 10.10.1

    It could be that the template is some how bunged up, even though it is evidently working in CS6. You might want to try, as a test, setting upa  new document in CC, add the data file, put your placeholders in the document and merging. Then change the merge file, then try to update it.
    All I can really say is that I have not experienced this issue (yet). And as far as I can tell, yours is the first post on the matter that isn't document corruption related, or that Previewing the records hasn't caused some malady. either needs the template remade or brought into a new file to fix. You issue sounds sort of half-way between.

  • Data Merge: How to make images skip and continue after an ad or coupon?

    Using Data Merge to create a catalogue of images but through out the layout there are Ads spaces that I need to have control of the images not to be layout in that particular space. How do I go about  having that control using Indesign Data merge?
    thanks

    Thanks ja3754 for responding but you I went to a job interview and they explained  the procedure to me but did not showed me the steps. I told them it was news to me since I am aware of data merge doing business cards, variable letters and brochures but nothing to this level. So "unless they were not clear on the steps" according to them it is doable in data merge. But I am having a hard time finding any information on this procedure.

  • Data Merge with images - how to link/embed?

    My data merge is working beautifully but I cannot figure out how to properly include images in the data source so they appear in the target document. I'd love a tutorial on this. Anyone?

    You can get detailed info about data merge or any content on indesign help itself
    Add image fields in the data source file
    By adding image fields to the data source file, you can allow a different image to appear on each merged record. For example, when you merge documents that include information from various companies, you may want to include an image of each company’s logo as part of the merge.
    Open the data source file.
    At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.
    The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in which they’re stored.

  • Data Merge Remove Blank Lines for Images?

    I'm trying to use data merge to generate these labels:
    I have a spreadsheet with 20 or so products. Each product can have up to 6 of about 18 icons. The  problem is, the remove blank lines feature doesn't seem to work for image placeholders. Any ideas how to get around this?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I think I know what the OP wants to do - that is, where no logo is applicable, then all the logos shift to the left... or right... or remain centered.
    I've tackled this before and have an answer... even have a tutorial for it on my blog. Go to http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/going-beyond-stencil-letters/ and then go to 4: SCRABBLE LETTERS and have a read of that. There is a PDF to download which has attachments inside of the indesign file and assets used to make the tutorial.
    The key to getting the images to disappear is fourfold.
    First, the image frames have to be inline graphics one next to the other, aligned with whichever text feature is appropriate.
    Second, the picture placement options in the merge have to be "fit frame to content"
    Third, there can't be "blank" records in the csv/txt file when there is no picture. instead, create a "blank.pdf", or download the one i've graciously decided to host on my site: http://colecandoo.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/blank.pdf
    Fourth, the PDFs going into the fields must be using the artbox to get it's measurements. I find that this can be accomplished by placing a PDF image with "show placement options" turned on, then selecting the artbox for the measurement, then clicking ok. until it is told not to, any PDF placed in any file from that point will use that artbox as a reference until it is told not to in the "show placement options".
    Again, my blog has a tutorial and sample to play with. Good luck.

  • Can i use data merge with pdf images in indesign?

    Hi need to do a data merge but with pdf's not jpg or tifs. I am having the result with jpgs but not with pdf's.
    Can i do it with pdf's?

    in fact that is not a problem because i have both pdfs same size and orientated, the only thing is that i cannot use the pdf docs for some reason.
    eg. in the csv file i have (this is not working)
    Field 1                                      Field2
    '@background                          '@page
    Machintosh HD:bg1.pdf           Machintosh HD:page1.pdf
    eg. in the csv file i have (this works)
    Field 1                                      Field2
    '@background                          '@page
    Machintosh HD:bg1.psd           Machintosh HD:page1.psd
    I would like to use the pdf file is there a different way to do so?
