Make, as one user put it, "a leap of faith" and just go ahead and create the merged document without preview. Note: According to some information in the Adobe InDesign user forum (which I couldn't reproduce and suspect only applies to CS 5.5 and earlier) don't preview it. Copy your text block to the fresh document, connect the data file, and go from there. The solution is to create a fresh document and set your dimensions, margins and columns in the setup, not after the fact. Making it taller shifts things down, and so on. Making it wider offsets things to the right. Making the page narrower results in the output being placed off the page to the left. The multiple record preview snaps the multiple blocks to the designated margin position relative to where the edge of the page originally was when it was first set up (the original page dimensions). This problem can be demonstrated quite easily by changing the page dimensions after creating it, and I'd guess that's what you've done.

I have since made other mods to the script is easier to understand: if( is a reported issue associated with custom page sizes and Preview of multiple record layouts.

I guess that the answer has to do with the variable "myDataFile" and rather than just being open a dialog box, it could be somehow by selecting a table of text files, but it is where I am out of my depth. Var exported = "file location(redacted for the sake of this post)" Var myDataFile = File.openDialog("Select a data file")

I changed the last line slightly so that it generates a PDF file based on :Īpp.dataMergeOptions.removeBlankLines = true OLE Kvern had a script to merge the data to a file without the user interface. My last question: is it possible data merge several files at the same time (for example one after the other) and to give them their names based on the names of the input text file? The database starts as one massive file but using a one line code, can be divided into postal areas in separate text files. I would prefer data merge a file and then somehow split the PDF via Acrobat, but the length of postal areas resulting is incompatible and something that cannot be done if the document "split" feature in acrobat.

Databases formats are the same, the point of difference is a code in the second field of the database that refers to a postal box (not a zip/postal code, a code of 'distribution center' that has possibilities of 56 or greater). I have a situation where I have to data merge multiple text files to a single file indesign real "base". IDCS6 MACOSX JS: data merge multiple txt files one after the other You want all the data related to each customer in one record and release a record per page. ID lacks the sophistication to merge the data to do so. You must change the way that your reports are generated. Is there a way to filter in order to enter the order of similar files on the same page? All lines containing "John Smith" would be filtered in the sequence on the same page. Rows 1 to 4 must be on a single page, 5-6 on the next page and so on.
