    Hi,

    I need some help to see if something like this is possible.  We have an Indesign document with about 200 different flyers in it that we put the same contact block on each flyer.  This all works perfectly.  On export we need to name each of the flyer files to the title of the flyer.  Is this possible?  Currently it will only export with one file name with a number after it for each files.

    Thank you Pat,

    Unfortunately, this is much to basic for what I am looking to do.  I need something that provides much more detail.  I need to be able to have a different export file name for each of the 200+ exported files.  I don’t see how this basic setup page helps me with that.  I am not sure if the dynamic filename is what I am looking for as it has no real information about it.

    Is it possible to zoom with someone at MyDataMerge to go over what I am looking to do?

    Hi Kevin

    With dynamic filename you can utilize the filename like a placeholder. This means you can use every column of your database to be a part of the filename. You can add static text and also counting numbers.

    E.g. “flyer_marc_forster.pdf” where flyer is static and marc and Forster are two columns cells from the data record processed.

    Is this what you are looking for?

    Kevin,  From what I am understanding you have 200+ brochure layouts in one file.  Separately you have an export file with blocks of content in it.  You want to put the same content into each of the brochures and then repeat that for every piece of content in the export file.  For each brochure / content block you want a separate filename.  So for example if your indesign doc has 200 brochures, and your export file has 3 content blocks you want 600 files?
