Indesign - fusion de données multiples - répertoire des images

Hi Papier Ciso,

it should also work with all kinds of accents etc. pp.

I would test a data merge source TEXT file that is tab delimited and saved with UTF-8 encoding. In case your file contains Chinese double-byte characters I would switch to UTF-16 encoding. A good text editor should provide this encoding, like Notepad++ on my Windows 10 machine or the TextEdit app on Mac OS when run in text-only mode ( no formatting of text ).

Hi Papier Ciso,

thank you for the files.

Don't know if this is the reason for the issue:

The image path in the CSV file contains the name of a folder written as "test fusion de donne_es".

The path of your CSV file in the Links panel of your InDesign document also mentions this folder in the path's name of the CSV file. But here it is written differently: "test fusion de données".

( Or my Excel on Windows 10 is not able to read the CSV file from your Mac without an error?! )

Hi Papier Ciso,

if the image files are in the same folder with your data source file, the csv file, then you need not the whole path in your data source. Don't know why your paths do not work. For that we need some screenshots showing your file system's folder of your image files, the position of your csv file in your file system and the contents of your csv fie for at least one image that should be merged.

Hm. Could be that the path to your image file has a special character so that data merge fails.

Or that your data merge source csv file must be saved in a different way…

Without access to sample files this is hard to tell.

Thanks,
Uwe Laubender
