How can I save individual merged records automatically in seperate folder?

I have several hundred records to pull in via a mailmerge.
one record per page and one per document.
I can do the merge fine, however at present it just keeps all of the records open until I save them which means I can only do these in batches else indesign crashes.
Is there a way I can get indesign to automatically save each individually merged record into a seperate folder? Ideally naming the saved document after two of the fields so the naming convention would be <<id>>-<<name>>
I've seen some stuff about scripting being available to indesign and I don't mind doing the reading and putting in the work to make this happen - Can anyone point me in the direction of any scripting for indesign quickstart type guides or offer up any other suggestion of how the above may be achieved.
Many Thanks

There are a couple of ways that this could be done but it involves scripts. See the following adobe forum posts:

How can I save individual songs to one album?

I have an album and the iTunes split it into separate songs. How do I save them back to one album?
Please help its keep happening. I installed and reinstalled I tunes several times, but no change.

This is a tagging issue and usually happens when songs on the album have different artists.
Setting a common Album Artist will usually correct this.
If it does not then make sure all the other fields for the songs on the album are the same, obviously, except for title and track number.
You can edit the tag info here:
In iTunes, Right-click on a song > Get Info > Info

How can I "save as" a photo to a desktop folder?

I usually edit pictures using Nikon editing software as it allows me to "save as" the pic to a folder on my desktop and keep the original photo unchanged. I can not find a way to do that in iPhoto. I just upgraded to Leopard and the Nikon software is incompatible to it and crashes when i try to save.
Is it possible this is an option i can ad to the menu in this program? Is this option availabe in the '08 iLife upgrade? Thanks for any help in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You don't have to, iPhoto does this automatically.
When you edit (or perform any task - export, upload whatever) a pic iPhoto always works on a copy. So, edit to your hearts content. Then, click on the edited pic in the iPhoto Window and go Photos -> Revert to Original... and there's your original pic.

Hello ryane84
The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.

How can I save the modulation I apply to an instrument during recording such that it remains during playback?

How can I save the modulation I apply to an instrument during recording such that it remains during playback? For example, I apply modulation #8 during recording, but when I play the track back the modulation is not incorporated.

Hi Vlad,
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to programmatically read the voltage output to the drive, as the voltage is all determined internally by the controller circuitry on the board. Depending on the controller though, you may be able to physically route the output terminal to a spare analog input channel and read in the voltage that way. This example Analog Input with 73xx Motion Card shows you how to program LabVIEW to do this.

Hi,
If your data is in an array, the easiest way is to use the ArrayToFile function.
It automatically creates a file and puts your data in it according to the format you provide.
If you have individual samples that you need to write once in a while, you can either collect them into an array and then use ArrayToFile or open a file with fopen and write them as they are acquired with fwrite.
Hope this helps,

How can I save/backup my server configuration ?

Hi,
I'm new to OS X Server.
I have my server configured and running as planed.
But how can I save the server configurations?
So in case I have to reinstall, I can just reload the configuration.
Thanks,
JO

You can also run the the Server Assistant (/Applications/Server/Server Assistant.app) and save the resulting configuration to a file or as a directory record.
If that file is present at the root level of any local drive, or present on a directory server, when a new copy of Mac OS X Server boots up for the first time (Think USB pen drive) it will automatically configure itself and reboot.
This can be very useful if you need to setup many servers at once. However, you are only storing the serial number and a few basic settings (time zone, which services to turn on by default, etc) so this feature isn't really all that great for disaster recovery purposes. It can, however, save you a few minutes dealing with serial numbers when you need to rebuild a server NOW.
Also, since none of your services will be configured yet, it's usually best practice to setup a server without any services turned on (except maybe remote desktop) and then turn them on after you get things setup. This is where those "tear" sheet .plist backup files from Server Admin come in handy.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:

How can I save a file in the server?

Hello,
I am writing a Java Web Start program that it will generate a html file, how can I save the generated file in the server, fro example, the directory where I stored my JAR files. Because right now, it will create the html file in the local client mahcine instead of the server. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thanks you.

Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
3. Clicking on the downloaded file
What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you want to back up the Photos only:
Export them using the File -> Export command.

All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.

Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted. Do you actually mean Restore the phone? See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,

HELP: How can I save page state on UIX page...

I have a fallowing situation:
1. I create UIX application with Wizard based on one ViewObject
2. When I get a page with ViewObject in table style I travers up and down through records and make some updates and create new records
3. But when I go back from update and create pages I always get initial browesing page.
My question is: how can I save state of browsing page when I return to it from update and create or any other page (save position look hide/show mode or anything else)?
I try to use StateManager class but I faild.
Can anybody help me or describe how can I do it on one example?
Thanks!

Attila,
Sounds as though you want to remember the interactive state of your pages across requests.
That means you'll need to store the interactive state of your pages in something like the HttpSession that has a lifecycle spanning across multiple requests.
If you make your pages interactive using the HttpSession, then, when you navigate back from another page, they should still be in the state you left them.
The built-in data provider name for the HttpSession in uiXML is ctrl:httpSession. Use this to data bind the interactive attributes of your page, such as the disclosed attribute of HideShow.
In your event handlers, update the HttpSession to make your page interactive.
Be careful to use different keys to store information in the HttpSession for different pages.

How can I save a DVD I have to my desktop?

How can I save a DVD that I have previously bought, recorded or burned from TV onto my MacBook Air?

1) How can I simply drag photos from albums onto my desktop?
select the photo and drag it to the desktop -- or export it to the desktop (file menu ==> export)
2)does anybody know how to change the email setting for "from"? When I attempt to share a photo and email it to someone, I cant because I have no idea of the information in my "from" box. Therefore I dont have the password to send it. How can I change that setting?
to change account information iPhoto preferences ==> accounts -- or better yet IMHO just set the e-mial client to Apple Mail rather than the default iPhoto and send using mail
In the lower right hand corner grab the corner of the window and drag it to the size you want

How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

In ACR,
How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

Do you mean you are wanting to save your adjustments file-by-file as you work on them without exiting ACR via Done and then having to go back into ACR from Bridge, each time? I don’t know as you can that. For Cancel to undo all adjustments for the batch of images, there can’t be something else that saves the adjustments incrementally for individual images. Of course you’re in trouble if you accidentally hit Cancel after doing a batch of edits and lose everything.
The Bridge/ACR workflow was developed many years ago and is pretty simple-minded.
An alternative would be using Lightroom that remembers each adjustment as you do it and stores it in a permanent history so the adjustments are saved immediately but also can be undone, last-to-first, at any point in the future, for a particular image.
