    Hello,

     

    I am merging my excel file and indesign file. One of my columns has the image URL. MyDataMerge is downloading and saving the images in my selected folder but is not placing the images into my indesign file. Please help.

    Hi Corbin

    Thanks for getting in touch!

    Is anything merged at all?

    Is an error thrown?

    What happens?

    All of the data merges and the images are downloaded. No error is thrown.

    May I ask which folder you selected for image download? Is it e.g. Downloads? Or ist it on a network Volume?

    Hey – sorry for beeing unclear. Is that folder located on your:

    1. Local hard drive
    2. Local hard drive + inside your user folder (e.g. in documents, desktop or similar)
    3. On a network folder or mounted harddisk?

    Hi Corbin

    even if you didn’t respond, i want to give you an update on this: We clearly identified the issue.

    Adobe did pretty quietly drop HFS pathes (some:path:to:file) that was standard in its data merge for YEARS and changed it to posix paths (some/path/to/file).
    We added support for the newest InDesign versions and this should solve it.

    Unfortunately InDesign didn’t return any kind of error so we didn’t know where to look at. It just accepted the paths but didn’t place the file correctly.

    We will roll out a hotfix today.

    Please let me know if it works for you

    Regards
