That is to merge to new InDesign files first, and then use Peter Kahrel’s “batch convert” script to export the PDFs from the newly created ID files en masse.Library for converting from one markup format to another, and aĬommand-line tool that uses this library. The screen capture on the right hand side demonstrates the general options available when exporting to PDF via Data Merge, but note that several options are greyed out:Īs the options are greyed out, this means these options cannot be chosen for a Data Merge export, whether the script is used or not.Īll is not lost, but it is an added step unfortunately. Just as there is a difference between PDF export options for print and interactive outputs, there is also a difference between the options for print and Data Merge, but they are far more subtle. In my PDF export options, I had the spreads radio button on, but the script has output single pages. It is one of the questions in the questions and answers provided in the instructions on page 15 of the instructions that are supplied with the script. This is a feature of the PDF export directly from Data Merge – nothing to do with the script, but a part of how InDesign’s scripting DOM handles PDF export from Data Merge. Here are some more screenshots of the script:
