    Hello MyDataMerge Team,

    At the moment I am evaluating if your program is suitable for our purposes. And so far it looks very promising!
    However, I still need to know one thing: Would it be possible to adjust the page size and bleed based on the values stored in the table?
    Our scenario looks like this:

    1) Create a new document using the size and bleed values in the table.
    2) Place the image in a graphic frame and scale it to page size (including bleed).
    3) Create file name based on various values in the table.

    As I understand it, point 1 and 2 would be feasible via an additional script, but we would need your help to create it.

    Hi Maximilian,

    MyDataMerge cannot change the properties of a document itself. This is currently not possible. The scripting you mention is only capable of changing the output, but not the document or anything in InDesigns DOM right now.

    However we’re planning on adding Extendscript  support. But right now, these are plans on paper only.

    Regards,
    Pat

    Hi Pat,

    what a bummer. Anyway, thanks for your quick response and I’ll keep an eye on MyDataMerge. It has a nice set of features and is truly a very handy tool as is.

    Regards,

    Max
