Automatic pagination tool

Community Beginner ,
Oct 19, 2022 Oct 19, 2022

Good morning,

I would need a plugin for inDesign that would allow me to automatically paginate books from an xml that comes out of another page layout software. 

Can anyone suggest something?

Thanks in advance

Vincenzo

Hello

 

Can you elaborate on your workflow?

What XML from what other program? 

 

How will it be paginated? 

Have you any examples?

I don't think you would get an off the shelf solution for this unless your XML is in some standard format. If you are willing to look for paid solutions then let us know, many of us could look into it and suggest you on how to move ahead. Maybe a script could suffice your needs instead of a plugin. All this can be finalized after a detailed study of requirements.

Hi Manan,

the one you propose would be a good solution.

If someone wants to help us we are also willing to open a paid consultancy.

Thanks

Vincenzo
