    Hi,
    I tried to use the search engine but was not successful…

    I have to print a kind of voucher with two different barcodes on it. At the end I have to print this on a preprinted document, which has 2 of the vouchers on it, what means, that I need 4 barcodes on my indesign document.
    I used BCStudio to generate 4000 barcodes (jpg) and a csv-file
    I can generate the barcodes on the indesign document, but I cannot find any function to replace the barcodes. Indesign is using its own default settings and the barcodes has fixed spaces between the barcodes. Is there any function (or any other software) to solve this issue. Doing it manually on 1000 pages takes too much time….

    I rather like FileMaker. It’s not the cheapest but there is trial. You can set up a page (as on paper) and put fields where you want.

    Is all the other data coming in okay (changing from voucher to voucher), but not the bar codes? Perhaps you don’t have the images set up correctly in the CSV file?

    Steve talked about how to do images in this article:

    I also went into a lot of detail in my video course:
