David, you sample video is great. However, as of this evening, Lynda.com hasn’t yet released your video series. I couldn’t find it.
The video is on Lynda.com, as I have been watching it this morning.
Yup, the title is up in the New Releases section. The title of the video in the article above now links directly to it.
Sometimes it takes them a few days to get the title into the Author’s page, if that’s where you’re looking for it.
David, congratulations! I know you’ve been wanting to do this title for a long time.
Just an update that Data Merge crashes InDesign CC 9.2.
Adobe is aware of the issue and working on a fix.

Steve, Data Merge does NOT crash in InDesign 9.2 (CC january release) for most people. I understand that it does for some folks, and the solution appears to be to rebuild your preferences.
Hi. I hope you can help. I’ve looked at the course content but not sure if I will learn what I’m after.
At work we are in need of creating a data merged planogram document.
We need to merge product information (text and image) into boxes that are sized to a certain scale.
I know that Object styles can set text frames to a certain size. We just need to automate that part into the data merge.
If this is possible or there is a script or something in your course that can explain this we’d be really interested to know of a solution.
Thanks.
Kris.
Kris, I’m not sure Data Merge will help; if I understand what a planogram means correctly, then I doubt it. But you can resize text frames automatically based on how much text you have in them: https://creativepro.com/tag/auto-size
Very nice title David
It is easy to follow and I hope to take advantage of it during tax time.
No not to reduce my taxes, but to create tax receipts for a voluntary organization.
I used data merge to number event tickets, such a useful tool to learn about.
Thanx …
Ross
Hello David, just a quick question does your Data Merge video include instruction on merging variable barcodes?
Tedzeeki: My title does not currently cover that. What kind of barcodes do you need to make? Here’s a tool that can help make QR codes: https://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/tada-qr/
