I would still need to figure out how to make the unique placement of the data fields though. I was thinking whether it is faster to use an additional column in my CSV file to reference the location of the PNG background that is needed per job. I could not figure out if there was a way in my CSV file to reference a specific master page that can be used automatically or if this is still a manual process within InDesign. Don't include the step page (the destination) as one of the source pages. Order is significant, because the pages are processed in the sequence that you specify here. and more, in general, for documents that have pages that contain multiple. That means you can quickly and easily make multiple copies of a document, w. List one or more page names to merge into the step page. With data merge you can easily paginate text and images in InDesign in a. Pages for iPad, iPhone and Mac can now use a spreadsheet to create a Mail Merge.

I would like to explore whether it's possible to have just one INDD file with multiple master pages that correspond with both a) the placement of the data merge text fields AND b) the specific background graphics required per job. The Page-Merge-Into method accepts a list of source pages and one base parameter. Note: If you want to merge pictures into your publication pages, your data source must include either file names or paths for the picture files that you. a name field may be located at the bottom right or the bottom left). Each file will be different though because of the background graphics (needs to be different per job) as well as the placement of the data merge fields (i.e. Each job has at least the same two to three data merge fields (text and a field) and can typically range from 500-1500 pages after the merge is complete. To do this, check the Show Import Options box (shown below). Optional: You can change the data source import options. By default, Pages will use your existing Contacts database for mail merge. I currently use multiple INDD files to make different data merge sets per job. Open your InDesign document and the Data Merge panel via Window > Utilities > Data Merge > Select Data Source.
