The main question here is where did the artwork originate from? Unfortunately, if the source art was anything less than 300 PPI, there's really nothing you can do to increase the resolution without resulting pixelation. Photoshop and other programs will attempt to fill in the blanks, but it's...

Apparently I can't edit my post, but I wanted to add this: I work in the print industry as a software engineer, but with a strong background in prepress and graphic design. I can tell you right now that if they are asking for 600 PPI art, then it is probably because they require it in order to...

If you're spending a lot of time doing batch editing in InDesign, it might be worth your while to learn about InDesign scripting. The task of running through all the text frames and changing the border stroke to 0pt could have been automated and completed in about a minute, as opposed to the...

Just updating for the sake of keeping a record for future reference: I was unable to find a solution that allowed me to merge anything over 250 records with reliable results in a timely manner. Merges over 300 records would stall or hang for hours upon hours, sometimes overnight. I was able...

It still isn't working, now with 4GB of system memory. If anybody has any other ideas, do post them.

Ah, okay got the export issue resolved. Thanks! As for the fonts, they're fine. The only time I run into trouble is if I try to merge too many records. The automatic proofs and the smaller merges work just fine (Using the same fonts). I increased my page file (VM) and larger merges (4000...

Interesting advice... I've tried running as "light" as possible. Unfortunately, I have to have the Visual Basic app running while the merge occurs since this is a fully automated process. I killed all unnecessary processes including virus scanners and the like. Fonts are probably killing me...

I'm running into some serious issues with my data merges in InDesign CS2 - The software sucks memory until it is using 350MB/512MB of system memory and inflates the page file to 1.2GB, at which point the program just begins to hang. These aren't terribly large merges by any measure... Anything...

Nevermind, turns out that the StoryOffset parameter of the Add method uses a 0-based character index, whereas all of the arrays in the InDesign object model use a 1-based index. I should have thought of that earlier... On the bright side, everything is working properly now. Thread concluded...

Alright, I've had a chance to mess with things a bit and I figured out a way of doing this that I thought would work, but for some reason this code crashes InDesign. myDocument.DataMergeProperties.SelectDataSource "U:\JOBS\" & sJobNumber & "\LOT_DATA\" & lData.LotNumber & ".csv" If...

Hey there, I'm looking to fully automate a template creation / data merge process and I am running into trouble with creating the data merge fields and inserting them in the text frames. It seems like the only way to insert a data merge field is in a story... But stories don't allow for...
