Reply To: Data Merge csv file – Different rows or Multiple pages

Hi

you could do all of it in one merge instead of first importing the images and then trying to merge the text.

Find a script called “Folder to csv” then you get a cab with your image paths. Combine both your texts and image pathes CSV (expecting they are pre sorted) in one new CSV (e.g. by using excel). Just watch on the title of the images Colin. it has to start with an “@”.

Then import it to Indesigns data merge, create your layout with text and link it to the data merge tags. So you have one page. Then start the merge aNd every image will be placed. And text also.

For the resize you could use a script from loic called “text to frame”.

If you are a more regular user I recommend some more professional software like MyDataMerge (think they are new – but it’s so easy to use)
