InDesign recognizes these paths as paths to an image file if you start the data field name with an symbol. Now open your CSV file with products and add a field to every product that will hold the file path to the UPC-A barcode. A window will open where you must create a new folder to hold the barcodes.įor this tutorial, we used “datamerge” as the folder’s name. Step 4: Leave the output file format and other options at their default settings. If you made a mistake, you can delete one of the generated barcodes or modify them by clicking the Modify or Delete buttons. NOTE: Leave the Add Prefix, Suffix and Price empty for this tutorial. Step 3: Either enter a numeric range of UPC-A numbers you already have assigned to your products or import them from a CSV file that contains the UPC-A numbers you’ll be using for your products. Step 1: Select UPC-A from the Retail list in Barcode Producer. First things first: create your CSV file with products and UPC-A numbers.įor this tutorial, we will use an UPC-A barcode as our example. Create the InDesign layout document containing the variable data fields and have InDesign compile it, print it, export it to PDF, or publish it online.Create a CSV file that holds product descriptions and everything else you need, including the file path to each product’s barcode.Create a list of barcodes with Barcode Producer, using its (optional) Automator module.InDesign data merging is a 3-step workflow: If you sell products, you can, of course, also use data merge functionality to create a stock list that contains your Christmas offerings with each product listed, complete with their barcodes so the warehouse pickers don’t lose time looking up the UPC-A numbers but scan them in from the list when an order is placed. The classic example of a data merge is, of course, the direct mailing letter where the variable data consists of the name and address of the recipient and their name and perhaps other data are generously sprinkled across the letter to create a personalized experience. With Adobe InDesign, you can create documents that include variable data. Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on 's Variable Data functionality supports barcodes Size Page to Thing by Olav Kvern - Resizes the page to the size of the current selection such as an image.Size Thing to Page by Olav Kvern - Resizes the current selection such as an image to the size of the page.Renumbering Endnote References by Peter Kahrel - Script creates endnotes whose references do not update automatically when you add or remove endnotes.End Notes to End of Book Notes by Peter Kahrel - Convert end-of-document endnotes to end-of-book endnotes.Layer Cloner by Paolo Agostinetto - This script allows you to copy a layer and its elements from one document to another.Invert Selection by Luis Felipe Corullón - Script to invert the selection in InDesign document.
