InDesign Personalisation

Kristian

Well-known member
Are there any plugins available for personalisation in either InDesign or Illustrator?

I have 180 records in an Excel spreadsheet that I need to use for business cards. Is there an easy way to generate separate pages with the info from the spreadsheet? I know this can be done easily with a digital press but this will be printed conventionally.

Thanks in advance.
 
You can do datamerge, built into InDesign. You would first export your excell file to a tab delimited list. (there is a great videotut on theindesigner.com)
What version are you using?
Also it is possible with illustrator, using data sets, but InDesign is much easier.

FusionPro.

There are several options for Acrobat, mostly using plugingns
 
Thanks Lukas will take a look on theindesigner.com

I think it's InDesign CS1 (It's my girlfriends company doing the job. I'm in packaging and don't do much work like this but thought I'd try and help)

Just looked into the DataMerge option and it does exactly what they needed! Thank you very much Lukas, saved them a lot of time.
