#DataMerge
Sen noooooo

(Always happy to run a datamerge for you if you need one)

Heck, I don't even use datamerge in InDesign or whatever. Anyways, what I do know, is that the creative power of the people we at Flatout Games have had the privilege of working with is so immense. I love every minute of the process of making games and the relationships formed in doing it together.

Today I am running a whole bunch of stuff through inDesign DataMerge files that I set up a couple years ago. Wish me luck!

I’ve spent the morning (unsuccessfully) trying to get Affinity to do a double-sided datamerge.

I’m taking a break now to do some editing on Escape the Apocalypse so that I can tackle the data merge with a clear head later today.

Wish me luck!

I designed the presentation for the #ONESHOT Hair Awards this past weekend—44 categories, 523 slides. Such an inspiring event to be a part of! #graphicdesign #indesign #datamerge #eventdesign #presentationdesign

Datamerge on InDesign is pretty critical for me any time I make cards.

the mission: a 4-page variable letter (11x17 folding to 8.5x11) that runs on a J-Press using XMF out of InDesign using DataMerge.

The thing fucking everything up: They want it 2 up on a 19x25 sheet and it must cut and stack

The mission: export out printer spreads from InDesign using DataMerge

The thing that's fucking everything up: The way InDesign treats printer spreads is FUCKED

Only managed to crash inDesign once today while importing .xml files for 3 different documents. This seems like a good sign?
More dataMerge tomorrow.

XMF does not support anything but a front/back laydown for having multiple-up on a sheet for variable jobs. No dutch cuts either, apparently, which I guess is good to know.

But after spending 3 hours exporting single page pdfs from InDesign with DataMerge, I didn't want to go back.

For what I use it for, which is game design, they made a couple of tweaks to datamerge which was very nice, but not necessary. Tablet versions are cool and have nice shortcuts that I don't think were in v1. So it's nice but not essential imo.

The only g*ddamn solution: remake the InDesign document so that the page size is 11x17 and place the pages in manually so pages 4&1 and 2&3 are on the same page, THEN export out of InDesign using DataMerge, THEN use the cut and stack options in XMF.

And yeah, you can make an extra page at the front to force the spreads to face each other and then you can move page 4 to by before page 1. But again, you can't only export pages 2-5 when using DataMerge.

You can kinda sorta get a pdf out of InDesign in printer spreads using the booklet printing functions, but guess what's incompatible with the DataMerge functions... anything that changes the page order or anything like that.
