I am creating progress reports around 50 different companies in InDesign. The report is 10 pages long and has approximately 40 images and text fields that need to change based on the company.
I set up a data merge in InDesign and mapped all of the text and image fields. When I execute the data merge the text and images are mapping perfectly but it's creating one large 500 page report (10 pages x 50 companies). I.e. Report for Company A is on pages 1-10, report for Company B is on pages 11-20, and so on.
While I could break this up into individual reports in AcrobatPro, this step seems like it should be unnecessary. How can this be automated, preferably within InDesign? And how would I then be able to save each file based on a field in the merge csv?
I agree with Nicolai, I don't think default data merge option can create split documents.
Maybe you can use the following script to split your documents into the parts

I have several pdf files (say chapters of a book) and I want to concatenate them and add a table of contents to the resulting pdf.
No original pdf file has a table of contents. Simple numbers as the table of contents is more than fine.
I know that I can concatenate the pdf files using tools such as pdftk. Another possibility would be to use LaTeX to create table of contents and include each pdf file.
I have a macro that moves all pictures and tables to a PowerPoint while capturing the figure name and number as well as the table name and number. I am pasting the tables in as .Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPasteMetafilePicture).
This has worked great in the past but I have come across about 150 documents that need to be converted that contain tables that span more than one page. When the macro pastes the table it cuts off at the first page.
If I split the table using the macro it does not carry over the headers.
What I want is to be able to do is split this table into multiple slides per Word document page that it is on and include the headers of the table.
Since you're pasting as a picture the only possibility is to EDIT the Word tables. You'd need to read how many rows comprise the table header, copy those rows, deactivate the table header setting, then paste the row(s) at the top of each page. Then you can copy each page. At the end, close the document without saving so that the original still has the table headers.
I am going through several hundred Word documents that contain dozens of tables each. I need to delete all of the tables that contain more than three columns. The entire table needs to be removed from the document. I cannot simply delete all of the tables in the document (a Macro for which I already have) because these documents contain bulleted information in table format.
Alternatively, a Macro for converting tables with three or fewer columns into text would also get the job done.
Figured it out.
Sub RemoveDataTables()
For Each Table In ActiveDocument.Tables
If Table.Columns.Count > 3 Then
Table.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
I have a 300+ page word document containing hundreds of "chapters" (as defined by heading formats) and currently indexed by word. Each chapter contains a medium amount of text (typically less than a page) and perhaps an associated graphic or two. I would like to split the document up into database records for use in an iPhone program - each chapter would be a record consisting of a title, id #, and content fields. I haven't decided yet if I would want the pictures to be a separate field (probably just containing a file name), or HTML or similar style links in the content text. In any case, the end result would be that I could display a searchable table of titles that the user could click on to pull up any given entry.
The difficulty I am having at the moment is getting from the word document to the database. How can I most easily split the document up into records by chapter, while keeping the image associations? I thought of inserting some unique character between each chapter, saving to text format, and then writing a script to parse the document into a database based on that character, but I'm not sure that I can handle the graphics in this scenario. Other options?
To answer my own question:
Given a fairly simply formatted word document
convert it to an Open Office XML document
write a python script to parse the document into a database using the xml.sax python module.
Images are inserted into the record as HTML, to be displayed using a web interface.
