How to auto add multiple images CS4

Hello all,
I got the following document:
I got a text box with an article number. Next to the text box i got a image box. Now i want Indesign to automatically but the right image in the box use the Photoshop clipping path and space to image to it fits properly. The article number is the same as the file name of the images which are stored in multiple folders.
I am using Creative Suite Premium CS4
Can someone help with this or give any good tips?
Thanks
Phillip

As I said, XML is outside my comfort zone, but from all accounts it is not easy to master if you are not already used to doing coding. EasyCatalog gets a lot of good reviews here, and I think they have some trials and tutorials at their website. As far as I know, it is intended to connect with your database, and XML should be able to do that too. I suspect the big difference -- from your perspective -- would be that purchasing the plugin means someone else has already spent the time to do the front-end coding and you get a support network. With XML you'd be flying essentially solo, with some help from the ground if you know what questions to ask and can find someone in the forum who actually knows the answer (there are a few, but not me). There is a pretty good book, though, according to comments I've seen here. Let me see if I can find it...
http://www.amazon.com/Designers-Guide-Adobe-InDesign-XML/dp/0321503554/ref=sr_1_1?s=books& ie=UTF8&qid=1322829200&sr=1-1
they have a couple of other XML titles, too, but that's the one I've seen mentioned the most.

  • How do I add multiple images into one file?

    I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
    I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
    http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
    If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
    I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

    One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
    Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

  • How do you add multiple images in Keynote with the same slide formatting?

    I want to add 100+ images into Keynote for a photo slideshow, and I want all of the images to be preformatted using the frame/border style I set up in one of the  master slides...I don't want the images to fill the entire slide, and the goal is to not have to touch every slide and every image.  I know I can add images individually using the media button on the photo placeholder and the photo will fill the frame I have created, but I want to do this for all images at one time.  Is there a way to do this when adding the images into the presentation, or a way to format them all at once after adding them to the presentation.  Someone please help, I have looked everywhere and have had no luck finding an answer!!!  I accidentally made this happen last week when I was playing around but I don't know what I did and I can't seem to duplicate the results.  I feel certain there has to be a fairly simply solution, something I am missing.  I am working in the most recent version of Keynote (ver 6) and on Maverick OS.

    tspencer74, I have exactly the same problem and it's driving me nuts! I'm heartened that you managed to actually do this even by accident as I've not managed to make it happen at all in spite of much fiddling. So, the big question, did you find the answer? If so can you tell me what it is please?

  • How to add multiple images to a JLabel from the jar file

    I want to add multiple images in a JLabel but the icon property only allows me to add one. I thought I could use html rendering to add the images I need by using the <img> tab, but I need to use a URL that points to the image.
    How do I point to an image inside the jar file? If I can't, is there another way to show multiple images in a JLabel from the jar file?

    Thanks, it works perfectly. It's a really smart way of fixing the problem too :)

  • How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

    I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
    In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
    I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
    Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
    Thanks

    Hi thanks for your answer.
    I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
    Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

  • How do you add multiple iTunes to Keynote

    How do you add multiple songs from the iTunes to your Keynote presentation?

    Jer&Renee,
    welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It depends where you want them in your presentation.
    Open the Media inspector and choose a playlist. In the list of entries, mark those you want to add to Keynote (use command-click to mark multiple titles not in one block).
    Then drag the marked titles either on a slide or on the small Audio field (looks like a frame) in Document inspector. When you then hover the cursor at the Audio "frame", you'll see the quick info "Multiple Files". You cannot change the order or remove one of the files, but only all of them.

  • How do I add multiple addresses/contacts in an email tread to my contact list without having to enter each at a time?

    How do I add multiple addresses/contacts in an email tread to my contact list without having to enter each at a time? I have AppleScript but don't see "add address" in any of the boxes/drop-downs. 

    Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

  • How do I add multiple iPads to my Apple ID

    How do I add multiple ipads to my Apple ID

    Should just plug it into iTunes and go. You'll just likely need to give each one a different name. That's what i did when I added my iPad to my iTouch on iTunes.
    When you plug them into the computer, give each  a different name and choose to either make them clones of each other (back up XXXX profile onto this iPad) or set each up as a new iPad.
