In-Design Data Merge to PDF Problem

Question

Hello,

I am trying to create PDF files from a merge using InDesign and a simple .CSV. File. For some reason, InDesign reaches 66 out of 182 records, and then proceeds to generate THOUSANDS (like, 4,000 pages) of pages from records 1-66. Even when I try to print single records, it seems to disregard this and perform the same problem. I am at a loss for words, all the settings seem correct. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I actually solved the issue by creating an entirley new .CSV file and psting the information. I think I created the wrong type of .CSV by mistake and InDesign was reading it incorrectly.

Thanks for any consideration!
