Hello Adobe Community! Long-time subscriber, 1st post!
I've been contracted to work on multi-page product flyers for a retail outlet.
These flyers are based off a pretty loose template that vary in design from page to page depending on the number of products and hierarchy of importance (sale items, etc.)
The copy (product description, price, savings, promotion) is provided by the managers but it's a painstakingly time consuming task copying and pasting hundreds of descriptions.
I have used data-merge before for ticket numbering and business cards. I have also done my research online to find advanced uses of data-merge but they've been pretty limiting.
Can anyone point me to resources that will show me advanced data-merge techniques which will allow me to populate these product flyers?
I've come across Lynda.com's "Dynamic Publishing Workflows in XML" but I have little experience with XML.
Thoughts?
Thank you!
