Product description
Preparing data for Data Merge in Adobe InDesign often begins with the tedious process of creating a CSV file containing image names and paths. This script automates the entire process.
Once launched, simply specify the folder containing the graphics. The script will scan its contents, create a CSV file with file names and full paths, and then – if a document is open – automatically load it as a data source in the Data Merge panel.
