![]() ![]() In this example we have created a workflow that send an email per data record. Theoretically, the scenario was: turn the Preview check box on and switch to the necessary record, but in practice, these two features turned out to be unavailable to scripting. This is for advanced users only that are able to write applescript or javascript. However, record 3 - for Hungarian - was a special case: after switching to this record but before PDF export, the script should run another script that applied some formatting to prices in Hungarian forints. (7 languages x 2 PDF types x 16 pages = a lot of time to do this manually and besides InDesign often crashed during those exports). A little late, but scripts are unrelated to data merge, although they can be used in. Basically, it should switch to each record one by one, hide/show certain layers, and export two PDFs: one for print another for online. The workflow this script is set up for is the Data Merge > Export PDF, which as you noted spits out a single, massive PDF. I am preparing some wedding invites, using Adobe InDesign (CS 5.5). But the client had specific requirements for the script. Open your InDesign document and the Data Merge panel via Window > Utilities > Data Merge > Select Data Source. Usually this is done by cropping odd and even pages and then merge them. The number of records wasn’t an issue because it was always static: each record corresponded to a specific language (7 in total). While Bluebeam Revu can only open and edit PDF files, we can convert many common. ![]() Currently have a large business card order, Indd files, and an xlsx spreadsheet. I wrote this script - to be more exact a set of scripts - a couple of years ago so I don’t remember details.
