    Dear all,

    I'm buzzy setting up an xml / indesign document to automate the workflow of a product catalog. In attachment, you can see 3 pictures. A picture of my xml file, a picture of my indesign document and a picture of the original document.

    The xml document is already inserting in my first frame but it's not autoflowing. I know I have to create all the necesarry frames and link these with eachother in advance. The list of each product is variable. It can be long or short. I don't know the best way to do this.

    Can anybody give me some tips? I've searched the adobe website but didn't found a desired solution.

    Thx in advance,

    Xavier Wastyn

    Can't you use InDesign DataMerge? And perhaps the Typefi AutoFit plugin, if you have to deal with variable text lengths.

    That's how I produce my catalogs and it works pretty fine.
