    I made a posting on Adobe's forums about an issue I am having regarding converting a horizontal badge to vertical:

    I thought this would be something that wouldn't be too complicated to do but we have been really struggling trying to come up with a way to automate this task. I know on the podcast there is a lot of talk about automating things so I thought someone here might have some ideas.

    The Liquid Layout features in InDesign CS6 could likely help a lot — along with automatic frame fitting.

    Are all the cards in one file, based on a master page?

    No, the badges are not all in one file or based on a master page at the moment. As I have been learning from talking with people that would have been the best way to automate this task. I put the badges in one document since I don't have one of those printers that can just print one badge at a time. I figured it didn't make sense to buy one since I don't print enough badges. I will print a large set and then I don't print any for a long time. Unfortantly I haven't upgraded to CS6 since my computer can't run it. I will look into liquid layouts when I do eventually upgrade. It sounds like it can be really useful.
