InDesign :: XML Import With Bullet List Like Images?
Mar 12, 2014
I have a xml file with data that i would like to import to indesign. ANd that works great.
But i have a minor issue. I have a kind of a bullet list something like this:
my xml looks like this:
<mytext>1 some text2 some text
3 some text
<mytext/>
the bullets is pictures (or perhaps numberd bullets if its possible to style them in my XML)
<mytext>[include my 1 image here] some text[include my 2 image here] some text
[include my 3 image here] some text
<mytext/>
I have tried to use CDATA in my xml file and included the path for my images, but the result is that "<image src..." is written as text not as a image..

Help files for indexing indicate you can import a topic list. However, there are not details about this. I cannot import a .txt topic list or a list in an ID file.
When they talk about importing a list do they specifically mean one that has already been input into the Index Panel in another ID doc?

how to create a custom bullet using the bullet character style and configure it as needed. The issue I have is that I can't edit or delete a custom bullet character style once it is created. When I create a custom character style, it doesn't preview so I'm sort of guessing on things like baseline or vertical shift and things like that, so it is trial and error and then I end up with a bunch of extraneous character styles. What I really want to do is edit an existing one - is there a way to do this and I'm just missing it? And if not, can I at least delete the extra character styles?

The list was going great on all three levels until level 8.2.2 (that's what it should show), but I am showing 6.2.1. I'm pretty sure I have all the correct levelled Paragraph Styles.
This video shows the gist of it. One thing I have noticed is when clicking on the 8.2.1 (the last correct numbering in the list) the option 'clear overrides in selection' is available from the Paragraph Styles window.This is not available on the faulty 6.2.1. so I'm hoping this is playing an important role.
I tried adding another Paragraph Style and resetting that number but what's really strange is that it stays on 6.2.1. and I can't see the point of creating another paragraph style on whilst staying on level 3.

I have a logo that seems to import at half opacity when placed. I thought maybe it was the way it was being viewed, but it prints that way too. Something obvious I am missing?

I am having troubles finding an actual answer for this online
I understand that the import file is a CSV versus XML, but since both can come out of Excel why would you choose one over the other.

I'm trying to import a table from Excel into Indesign but can't manage it. The internet is full of the tip to use File-->Place and then choose import options, sheet, cell range, formatted table. This does work, sort of, except the Excel table has no numbers and is formatted all whacky and doesn't have the right color.

I have a very large excel file with a list of companies in this format:
company_category company_name company_description telephone email
In InDesign I have paragraph style for each one but I need a solution to import all this data and apply the styles automatically.
Few things:
- I don't want to import all these into a table. I want all the info in a 3 text columns format that will run accros 150 pages (more or less)
- I'm using InDesign CS6
Is there any way to automate this?

First i got a big Adobe InDesign File where I already have designed a catalog. It's made through tables.
It looks like this:
So here's my problem. The article numbers are already filled in. And I have a .csv file with 3 different colums. Art.Number, StandardPrice, DaliPrice It looks like this:
So now i want to import only the prices from this file, because the article numbers are already filled in. If i try to import the .csv file through data merge --> create merged document i am not able to choose this field which i marked blue (dataset). I don't know why... maybe i have to format my csv file different?
And also if i try to show the preview it only takes the data from the first line in my csv file. So somehow i have to merge the fields from the csv file with the article number which is already in my indesign file.
All those fields who look like this------>
are from an plugin which is calls easy catalog... but i think i won't need this plugin... i am sure it's also possible with data merge.

I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.8.
I am placing a Word document into InDesign CS6, and no matter what options I choose in the import options, the font styles are not imported into InDesign At the same time, InDesign CS3 imports all the styles perfectly from any Word file.

This issue occured shortly after update to 4.2, but not directly after. I am using windows 8.
The issue that occurs is after importing images they are adjusted automatically to develop module cross process 1. After dealing with this annoyance for a bit of time I realized that I can not even "RESET ALL" the images to delete the adjustment. In delving into other images that have been in my database for quite some time, I have tried to "RESET ALL", which resets images to CROSS PROCESS 1. I have never set import to automatically adjust.

Recently I was working on an A1 size sheet and exported it from Indesign as a jpg file. The settings were as follows
Output as CMYK
Resolution - 300dpi
The final image was huge! - a staggering 73 mb file.
On the other hand if I would have done the same work on photoshop with same resolution, then the image would have come at maximum of 20mb filesize.
I know settings for pdf exports, but for jpg exports, the settings are too less [as far as I have observed]. So, what is the solution to keep filesize minimum with best quality [in my case 300dpi]

I just upgraded from LR3.6 to 4.0. When trying to import images the import module freezes for a few minutes and then displays the import screen. However, when selecting a source the program freezes again and eventually crashes.
I had the same issue when upgrading to 3.6 some time ago and then found that disabling some USB controllers solved the problem. This works for LR4 as well. As I don't need all USB connections this is a workable solution, however, disabling controllers should not be necessary to run a program.
System is an Acer Aspire 7811 64 bits w/ Intel i7, Win 7 Home Premium, 8 GB internal mem and no external drives.

I'm using LR4 with a Canon camera setup (Wind 7 Ultimate). I've got the auto import setting all configured with an incoming folder and destination. The app recognizes when an image is put in incoming folder and in fact it moves it to the destination folder. What is really annoying is that it leaves me at the import settings dialog and then I have to make all these choices as I would if I were manually importing.
Shouldn't the images be places in the desination folder and some view of that image be displayed in LR? It could be the folder view or ideally I want to see the last image imported at 1:1 size so I can review it and see if I want to take another shot? Maybe there is some flag I've got set incorrectly.

when I export my EPUB, InDesign inserts wrong images into the HTML.
I have a multi-artboard Illustrator file that is placed in the document. Every chapter has an image in front of it, every image is an artboard in the .ai.
When I export to EPUB, some artboards are correctly inserted, while one repeats multiple times in a few chapters completely randomly. It has appear only once, but InDesign inserts it many times.

CS5.5 or CC – I have experienced several times that flat grayscale imaged - corrected and nice in PhotoShop turns up much too dark when placed in InDesign.
I make sure no effect or colors are applied to the frame or picture, but still no effect.
If I force transparency on the actual spread (by placing two white items on top of each other, the topmost multiplied on the master page) then it looks correct at once.
It makes no difference if it is a flat grayscale jpg or a psd, even a psd with a white background turns out this way.

I'm trying to import photos into LR3.3, and the thumbnails are grayed out, as is the import button. The photos come from two other cameras -- one Canon Elf, the other I'm not sure. I received them through dropbox, and they open fine with Bridge and Photoshop CS4.

I'm working with InDesign CS5.5 on a Mac and need to import multiple images into separate layers. The imprint project has a base layer template and several company logos that need to go into their own layer. Is there a way to bring all the logos in at once and have them create their own layer without manually creating each layer and placing images one by one? Can InDesign do this automatically or is there a script? I can't seem to find a way to automate this process.

We use lightroom to edit our pictures (about 25.000 pictures a week).We have a deep archiving system which uses a thesaurus (controlled vocabulary list if you like)That deep archiving system picks up the embeded metadata we enter in lightroom.
For the keywords however, we need lightroom to be able to import an .xml file provided by that professional deep archiving system on a regular basis (weekly ?)
There is a plugin available here URL.... but it does not seem to work .I tried contacting the author but I got no response.
