Thanks David – here are a couple of Imgur links to help illustrate what I’m trying to set up.
PDF doc: https://imgur.com/esLpA93
InDesign page: https://imgur.com/Tlt3afA
Not to sound like a geezer who can’t program the clock on the microwave, but I don’t see an option here in the forum to upload an image to help illustrate what I’m working with. Happy to do so if that would be helpful, I just haven’t figured out how to do that.
Thanks for that, David. I’m familiar with the “master image” in links – that option also requires that I click for each of the 29 instances/page that I’m trying to update. In an ideal InDesign world, each of these 29 image boxes would have Data Merge image placeholders and would keep the proportions and placement coordinates unique to each of the 29 boxes. That doesn’t seem like an option though, so my plan B is to update the 29 instances of the PDF on each page of a 315 page document, where there would be new content (a different PDF placed into the boxes of each page)…all without needing to click 29 times/page to get the job done.
Oof. Believe me, I realize the truly ideal situation would be to have puzzle content as a graphic, and the “Across” and “Down” content as live text in a spreadsheet for merging (along with @image info for the puzzle graphics), but I just have the PDF files and am trying to find a way that doesn’t require retyping or a ton of copying and pasting.
