Hello all, I'm having a problem printing brochure. My problem is...I have an Indesign layout composed of 50 pages, and I have a data file with a version field that tells me for (ex.) Bill gets pages 1,3,22,45. Mike gets 2,15,46,50 and so on and so forth. The file consists of 20,000 different names. So with 50 page options and 20,000 names you can see that I cant print each brochure manually. I need to connect my file to the layout somehow to know what pages to insert into the print stream.

I know I need to use Data Merge or XMpie, but are either of these capable of pulling random pages from a data file? If anybody even remotely understands what I am trying to say...please offer some input.
