Hi everyone,
my name is Janick van Megroot and I work at a big music company in Holland. Each year we make a magazine / catalogus for our customers.
We have a magazine with 124 pages, products, reviews interviews etc. But I have to make the magazine in 5 languages and in the future 8 languages.
I am not really an InDesign expert and this is the way I work:
I get the product numbers of the copywriting department for every category. I have to save the image from our website to my computer. Place it in InDesign and then copy the title + price + productnumber of the product into InDesign. And if I have 24 products on each page its a lot of work… Specially when I have to do it in 5 languages. It’s killing me.
I want to know if there is a better and faster way? Is this with XML and does it has to connect with our website server or something? Is there a plug-in?
I really dont know. Maybe someone can tell me how I can do this a lot easier instead of copying every product into InDesign 24 times x 8 languages… :)
thanks in advance.
