How do you data merge a specified page from an .indd file

Hi,
I'm using ID CS6 creating a number of documents that will include various pages from other .indd documents; i see the best way for me to do this as a data merge.
I can get the data merge to work absolutely fine, pulling in relevant images and text etc, and also pulling in the relelvant .indd documents; what i can't do is specify which page of the .indd file i want to show, so i'm always getting the first page. Is there a way to specify a page to merge, as opposed to only the first one?
Thanks in advance...
P.S. I'm right in thinking you can't merge snippet files aren't I...as i can't get that to work...

I don't know of a way to specify a page of an ID document during a data merge. But interesting note: during my experimentation, the second page of the ID doc was being used in the data merge. Then after changing other variables in data merge workflow, the first page of document was used. I don't know what triggered the page change, and unfortunately can not repeat.

Using Compressor 4, How do you create a droplet to transcode from final cut files to mp4, mp3 and m4v formatting?

Take a look at this section; it's pretty clear.
Compressor offers settings for each of the output formats you want. (For example, the m4v sttings for Apple Devices.)
Good luck.

ASP How do you go to a detail page from an insert page?

Hi
I'm building a site in asp and I have an insert page that
once submitted should go to a detail page of the record just
submitted. There is a unique ID field in the database that is
generated by the database. I was thinking that the unique ID is the
key but I'm not sure that I can pickup the id that is generated
when I insert the record. Any suggestions or pointers greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
flapper

You can use @@Identity in a SQL statement to grab the
recordID of the newly
created record, which you could then attach to a session
value for passing
to the next page.

UTL_FILE: How do you use the ^ as a delimiter from an ASCII file?

We currently have UTL_FILE pulling in a comma delimited file,
with this code: With the V_COMMA's declared and other variables
declared listed below. It works. When we change the ASCII file
to ^ delimited, the program fails. How do we get the ^ to work
with UTL_FILE?
BEGIN
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(V_FILEHANDLE, V_NEWLINE);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
EXIT;
END;
/* adding numbers 1-6 to position one on newline*/
V_COMMA_1 := INSTR(V_NEWLINE, ',', 1, 1);
V_COMMA_2 := INSTR(V_NEWLINE, ',', 1, 2);
V_COMMA_3 := INSTR(V_NEWLINE, ',', 1, 3);
V_COMMA_4 := INSTR(V_NEWLINE, ',', 1, 4);
V_COMMA_5 := INSTR(V_NEWLINE, ',', 1, 5);
V_COMMA_6 := INSTR(V_NEWLINE, ',', 1, 6);
V_ITEM_NUMBER := SUBSTR(V_NEWLINE, 1, V_COMMA_1 - 1);
V_AVAILABLE := SUBSTR(V_NEWLINE, V_COMMA_1 + 1, V_COMMA_2 -
V_COMMA_1-1);
V_ETA_CHAR := SUBSTR(V_NEWLINE, V_COMMA_2 + 1,
V_COMMA_3 - V_COMMA_2-1);
V_RETAIL_PRICE := SUBSTR(V_NEWLINE, V_COMMA_3 + 1,
V_COMMA_4 - V_COMMA_3-1);
V_DROP_SHIP_FILE := SUBSTR(V_NEWLINE, V_COMMA_4 + 1,
V_COMMA_5 - V_COMMA_4-1);
V_COMPANY_FILE := SUBSTR(V_NEWLINE, V_COMMA_5 + 1);

Thanks for your response!
I have simplified the sheet so it contains no split or merged cells, yet still I get the exclamation mark where I want the average. (The exclamation mark says 'Numbers can't be divided by zero'.)

Saving One or Two pages from a PDF file

How do I save one or two pages from a PDF file that have been emailed to me?

Hi molalla98,
The task that you are trying to perform is not possible via Adobe Reader, You would require Adobe Acrobat to extract the pages from Multi-Page PDF and save it accordingly.

Export single Pages (as PDF) from a .indd file

Hi folks
i use ID CS2 and i'm trying to export single pages from an indd file (using C#).
i tried to make an example first and thats my code so far:
[CODE]
InDesign.Application App = (InDesign.Application) COMCreateObject("Indesign.Application");
InDesign.Document doc = App.ActiveDocument;
InDesign.Page page = (InDesign.Page)doc.Pages[1];
doc.Export(IdExportFormat.idPDFType, @"C:\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, "[High Quality Print]", "Some Comment", true);
[/CODE]
Now it says that the IdExportFormat command is not known.
any suggestions would be very great.
kind regards

thx for the quick answer. this piece of code is from a sample and i changed id to this one:
in the very top of the program - using InDesign (so that the idExportFormat works)
doc.Export(idExportFormat.idPDFType, "C:\\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, //object using)
now i have no idea what i should enter at object using
could you explain that to me a little bit further? do i have to make a constant var that has the value 1952403524 and then use idExportFormat.idPDFType as well or idExportFormat(1952403524)?
i haven't progged a while and i feel a little bit dumb right now =D so sorry for this newbie questions.
thanks for your help, i realy appreciate that
kind regards

How do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data?

how do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data? i've connected my ipad to my phone's internet network through tethering. it's been ages already. but Pages is still not fully updated and i just wanna stop it anyway without losing my work inside...can anyone please shed light on this? i'd be absolutely certainty definitely grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can try pausing the download by tapping on the Pages icon, but you may not be able to use Pages until the update completes. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on corrupting the app and maybe the files.

Make Data Merge import certain page of pdf or indesign document

I don't know if it is possible but can you make Data Merge import certain page of pdf or indesign document, this would be great addition for indesign

Here are a couple of questions that might help understand what might need to be done to achieve your request:
* How do you propose to identify the desired page(s) within a PDF and an ID document, so the merge field placeholder knows how to find it?
* How do you propose to keep track of the page if they're re-ordered in an updated document?
* What if the identification marker is within text and flows to a different page - would you want to retrieve the original page (before the reflow) or the new page to which the marker would have flowed?
Perhaps the scripters could comment on the possibility of scripting these.
Regards,
Peter
