Data Merge questions within CS 5.5...Please help

Basically, we utilize this now with our calendar designs for schools which includes school events on certain days via the data merge along with building each calendar design from a 2 page spread with data merge. Now, the issue we are running into is....we send the school a proof of their calendar before we send it to print. At this time, they have an opportunity to add/delete/edit any events they want on our online portal for them in which we pull the info into our database to create the updated CSV file. Is there a way that once the first CSV file is merged to have it as a link or something similar? By this, I mean...it would be nice that when we re-generate the CSV file at proof time with the updated events that those will simply be updated in our indesign file by updating the link or something similar? We want to avoid re-building the calendar from scratch (2 page spread) at this point. Although for 70%+ rebuilding is not an issue, the other 30% are custom calendar that we have several edits to the 2 page template to start with. We dont want to have to do this custom work again or possible miss those custom changes when it is recreated. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The good news is that you won't need to re-build anything. That said, I see 2 ways to update your file.
Save the original as a template (before it's merged) and run the merge again once the CSV has been finalised. That way you always have the template of the first and each time you run the merge you get a new indd file.
The other is based on the assumption that you added your merge fields into the document and not the master of the original file. If so, you can copy the document page content into the master pages, add the merge fields to the master and use this as a template. When you merge the document this time the CSV becomes a linked file in the resultant file.
The differences between 1 and 2 is that the link to the CSV file is kept in the merged file in 2. Either way, it's a very easy update for you but you will have to re-apply your custom changes. This should just involve a straight copy/paste though.

  • 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.

    I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

    If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, or you don't have a backup, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • [CS5.5/6] - XML / Data Merge questions & Best practice.

    Fellow Countrymen (and women),
    I work as a graphic designer for a large outlet chain retailer which is constantly growing our base of centers.  This growth has brought a workload that used to be manageable with but two people to a never ending sprint with five.  Much of what we do is print, which is not my forte, but is also generally a disorganized, ad-hoc affair into which I am wading to try to help reduce overall strain.
    Upon picking up InDesign I noted the power of the simple Data Merge function and have added it to our repetoire in mass merging data sources.  There are some critical failures I see in this as a tool going forward for our purposes, however:
    1) Data Merge cannot handle information stored and categorized in a singular column well.  As an example we have centers in many cities, and each center has its own list of specific stores.  Data merge cannot handle a single column, or even multiple column list of these stores very easily and has forced us into some manual operations to concatenate the data into one cell and then, using delimiter characters, find and replace hard returns to seperate them.
    2) Data Merge offers no method of alternate alignment of data, or selection by ranges.  That is to say:  I cannot tell Data merge to start at Cell1 in one column, and in another column select say... Cell 42 as the starting point.
    3) Data merge only accepts data organized in a very specific, and generally inflexible pattern.
    These are just a few limitations.
    ON TO MY ACTUAL DILEMMA aka Convert to XML or not?
    Recently my coworker has suggested we move toward using XML as a repository / delivery system that helps us quickly get data from our SQL database into a usable form in InDesign. 
    I've watched some tutorials on Lynda.com and havent yet seen a clear answer to a very simple question:
    "Can XML help to 'merge' large, dynamic, data sets like a list of 200 stores per center over 40 centers based off of a single template file?"
    What I've seen is that I would need to manually duplicate pages, linking the correct XML entry as I go rather than the program generating a set of merged pages like that from Data Merge with very little effort on my part.  Perhaps setting up a master page would allow for easy drag and drop fields for my XML data?
    I'm not an idiot, I'm simply green with this -- and it's kind of scary because I genuinely want us to proceed forward with the most flexible, reliable, trainable and sustainable solution.  A tall order, I know.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but XML is that beast, no?
    Formatting the XML
    Currently I'm afraid our XML feed for our centers isnt formatted correctly with the current format looking as such:
    <BRANDS>
         <BRAND>
              • BrandID = xxxx
              [Brand Name]
              [Description]
              [WebMoniker]
              <CATEGORIES>
                   <CATEGORY>
                        • xmlns = URL
                        • WebMoniker = category_type
              <STORES>
                   <STORE>
                        • StoreID = ID#
                        • CenterID = ID#
    I dont think this is currently usable because if I wanted to create a list of stores from a particular center, that information is stored as an attribute of the <Store> tag, buried deep within the data, making it impossible to 'drag-n-drop'. 
    Not to mention much of the important data is held in attributes rather than text fields which are children of the tag.
    Im thinking of proposing the following organizational layout:
    <CENTERS>
         <CENTER>
         [Center_name]
         [Center_location]
              <CATEGORIES>
                   <CATEGORY>
                        [Category_Type]
                        <BRANDS>
                             <BRAND>
                                  [Brand_name]
    My thought is that if I have the <CENTER> tag then I can simply drag that into a frame and it will auto populate all of the brands by Category (as organized in the XML) for that center into the frame.
    Why is this important?
    This is used on multiple documents in different layout styles, and since our store list is ever changes as leases end or begin, over 40 centers this becomes a big hairy monster.  We want this to be as automated as possible, but I'd settle for a significant amount of dragging and dropping as long as it is simple and straightforward.  I have a high tollerance for druding through code and creating work arounds but my co-workers do not.  This needs to be a system that is repeatable and understandable and needs to be able to function whether I'm here or not -- Mainly because I would like to step away from the responsibility of setting it up every time
    I'd love to hear your raw, unadulterated thoughts on the subject of Data merge and XML usage to accomplish these sorts of tasks.  What are your best practices and how would you / do you accomplish these operations?
    Regards-
    Robert

    From what I've gleaned through watching Lynda tutorials on the subject is that what I'm hoping to do is indeed possible.
    Peter, I dont disagree with you that there is a steep learning curve for me as the instigator / designer of this method for our team, but in terms of my teammates and end-users that will be softened considerably.  Even so I'm used to steep learning curves and the associated frustrations -- but I cope well with new learning and am self taught in many tools and programs.
    Flow based XML structures:
    It seems as though as long as the initial page is set up correctly using imported XML, individual data records that cascade in a logical fashion can be flowed automatically into new pages.  Basically what you do is to create an XML based layout with the dynamic portion you wish to flow in a single frame, apply paragraph styles to the different tags appropriately and then after deleting unused records, reimport the XML with some specific boxes checked (depending on how you wish to proceed).
    From there simply dragging the data root into the frame will cause overset text as it imports all the XML information into the frame.  Assuming that everything is cascaded correctly using auto-flow will cause new pages to be automatically generated with the tags correctly placed in a similar fashion to datamerge -- but far more powerful and flexible. 
    The issue then again comes down to data organization in the XML file.  In order to use this method the data must be organized in the same order in which it will be displayed.  For example if I had a Lastname field, and a Firstname field in that order, I could not call the Firstname first without faulting the document using the flow method.  I could, however, still drag and drop content from each tag into the frame and it would populate correctly regardless of the order of appearance in the XML.
    Honestly either method would be fantastic for our current set of projects, however the flow method may be particularly useful in jobs that would require more than 40 spreads or simple layouts with huge amounts of data to be merged.

  • Data Merge questions

    We are using MS Mail Merge to populate existing forms. We have 250+ different MS Word .docx forms that have different information in different places. We are serving the mail merge data from a database throught a VB.Net program and it's working well. As most probably know, the process is to map mail merge fields onto the form using Word and then populate them through the application based on the form and information the end user needs.
    We want to do the same thing with PDF documents. I've been poking around this site and the internet and am confused about what is available to do this. Data Merge seems to kind of do the same thing, but through files instead of a database. I see some functions in this and other Adobe SDK's, but I'm not clear on which would be the one I'd need. And it would need to be programmable with VB.net.
    Or do I need an aftermarket SDK to do this (hope it's okay to ask that question here)?

    You might want to look into some of the third party catalogue plugins for ID.

  • Probably a basic data merge question...

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a multiple-record layout using data merge. The problem is that when I preview the document everything looks fine (first screenshot). When I actually create the merged docuement, however, the last two data entries from each page are moved off the edge of the page (second screenshot).
    If anyone has any suggustions or advice it would be greatly appreciated!
    Also let me know if you need any more information.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jack

    Your page number is being repeated with everything else. You'll need to do your merge without the numbers, and then add them to the merged document afterwards.

  • Another Data Merge question...

    Thanks, SRiegel, now that I’ve added the apostrophe in the title of the photo column, the Data Merge box DOES indicate photo. The problem is, when I do the Data Merge, it says the photos can’t be found. Here’s an example of how I have the photos listed:
    U:\MyPictures\employees3\smithjohn.psd
    Thank You

    Is that path correct? Can you place that image outside of data merge into another document, and doe it say that's the path?

  • Quick Data Merge question

    I've done this before but I only do it about once a year so I'll be damned if I can remember how to do it. However, I think I remember... does this sound about right?
    I'm doing 4 up postcards on an 8.5 x 11. I have one postcard in the upper left with text boxes in the address area.
    I linked up the excel document. Then I'm going to grab from the Data Merge panel "First Name" and drop it into one of the text boxes, then grab "Last Name" and drag into one of the text boxes, etc, etc. Then, I'm going to hit "Create Merged Document" and set it for "Multiple Record Layout"... but heres where I'm getting stuck. How do I tell it to do 4 up? When I hit the "preview multiple record layout" it just kind of shifts the one down and to the right a little but doesnt put it 4 up. Any thoughts?

    Yes, they will. But I think my "spacing" is goofed up.
    The layout is 8.5 x 11 horizontal so each one is 5.5" wide and 4.25" tall (4 up on a sheet). The one in the upper left should repeat to the right 5.5", down 4.25" and then to the right 5.5" and down 4.25" so its in the bottom right corner....
    I think I need help in the "Multiple Record Layout" section

  • I need to know how to download all photos AND videos from 2 "libraries" within Adobe Revel. Please help.

    I was quite angered last night when I posted the first time, so lets try this again:
    Here is my setup:  I have adobe Revel on my Mac and iOS devices and it has worked quite well to be honest until I recently realized my photos and videos are basically trapped within the software. There is no way (that I am aware) to export all photos/videos or any kind of tool to pull the raw data out of the app and put it into say iPhoto or Lightroom.
    Since I am not a fan of this sort of lock-in, (something I despise and encourage companies never to do), I am sadly going to cancel my Revel account once I get this sorted and store my photos elsewhere. This is a huge missed opportunity for Adobe, as the money is not an issue - its simply that the quality of service I need just doesn't seem to be there for this product.
    So here is what I am trying to achieve:  I simply want every one of my photos and videos to store on my hard drive like the old days.  I don't care about folders or hirarcy or any kind of organization - I can do that with the metadata later. I simply want all of my things. 
    My hang up is in that I have already tried methods like "Show package contents" in the photos/adobe revel route and that works to an extent, but is incredibly cumbersome as I have to sift through all of the many folders.  If that were the worst of it, I might be ok.  But what is truly alarming and making this difficult is that I don't know where on earth the videos in Revel are actually stored.  They show up in the application and I could export them one by one but I literally have hundreds.  I can't find the actual files on my Mac anywhere.
    Is there anyone at all who can help with this?  The goal is to make this transition fairly easy and I feel that Adobe has very intentionally made it very difficult to consider leaving. I spend >$50/month on Adobe services and I am a little in shock this application seems so poorly designed for anything other than just dropping your photos into it.  Please, please help if you can.  I would be so grateful as Adobe customer service doesn't seem to know or care much about supporting this product.

    Hi KDT
    Yeah. I agree, if you are used to a situation where "it's on the cloud AND synced down to your hard disk where you can get it" Revel is not exactly that. There were legacy decisions behind that - most not as sinister as you might think but I won't bore you with those details.  AND yes you are correct. We currently don't have any way for you to wholesale download everything at once. So you aren't missing anything. Until we provide that mechanism I can provide some guidance.
    I'm going to assume you have the current version of Revel on your Mac which is 2.0.
    The easiest thing for you to do will be to export your files manually. You can actually select a range of files and export. So it's not a one by one thing.
    You'll have to decide how best to perform the selection based on your photography habits. If you tend to take batches of files surrounding specific dates. You could do it by date. In the date view (In the applications upper right "Showing: Dates"). If you look at the end of a date row you'll see a small grid. If you click that grid you are taking into a grid view of just that date. If you select all and file>export you'll export the contents of that date.
    The other option is remaining in Grid view (In the applications upper right "Showing:Grid") and perform a shift+selection where you select your first file, move down the desired range and while holding shift you select a second file (standard multi-select stuff).
    One thing to keep in mind as you do this. You'll notice when you export you can export original or 'current version'. Export original does just that. Exports unedited original versions of your images as they were uploaded to us. When you export the current version of an image we'll export a rendition of the edited image. This "current version" image is not the original and in most cases will be a rendition that is not the same size as the original. So keep that in mind as you proceed.
    Not ideal, I fully realize, but I do hope it gets you closer to having your images back on your hard disk as you desire.
    As for your subscription. Assure you have checked your iOS Appstore subscription settings and set Revel to not auto-renew. Unfortunately for a pro-rated refund on the subscription balance you no longer desire you'll need to work with Apple as they hold the purse strings for Appstore purchases. Refunds haven't been a problem in the past so you should have no issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Deleted a free version of  PDF Max after purchasing the pro version. That resulted in missing data on the pro version too. Please help

    Last week, I purchased the pro version of PDF Max and today deleted the free version since I am not using it anymore.
    I don't what happened or how, this also resulted in missing data on the pro version. I created loads of annotations and notes using the pro version. Now, all that's missing. I am using the word "missing" because I think the data (notes and annotations) is still there but its just not showing up in the app. Since, the size of the app did not change. It still is 1.24gb on iTunes. Can you guys please help me recover or should I say figure out a way to display the files on the app? Pretty please!

    I'm not familiar with the specific app, but generally speaking if the free and paid versions of an app are separate (i.e. not an in app purchase), what you are seeing will be the case. the only resolution I know of is if the vendor provides an account and stores the data online, or it integrates with something like DropBox. If not, once the old version is deleted, the data is pretty much gone.
