Data Merge

[Ballestero]

Hello; i have a problem with data merge in Indesign, I have a document of 12500 records in excel, when i create (export) a pdf file from the menu with multiple records per page, a 133 pages PDF document is created., every fine up here.

The problem is that all pages are the same as the first, each page has 96 records.

I appreciate the help given

Have you tried to preview merge result prior to export ? Did you try creating the indesign files ? You need to identify where things go dirty.

Hello, thank you for aswer, in the preview everything looks perfect, each page contains different values, even when i create the Indesign files everything works perfect, It is at the time of exporting a PDF file that the problem is generated.

What is your PDF viewing app?
Did you open the PDF with Adobe Reader DC?

Ah. You directly exported a PDF from datamerge without saving an InDesign file with the merged content, aren't you?

I'd say you discovered a bug. The obvious solution then is to save an InDesign document first with the merged results and export to PDF from that.
