business card

[netwire88]

Hi,

My client wants me to create a business card template for each employee - same style, but different text and employee photo. The printing company only accepts PDFs. Is there a way to programatically merge the text (from an Excel file), the images, and the template and output a PDF?

If possible, I'd appreciate any help, code snippets, where point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

this isn't really a script as such but indesign can do this fairly easy using the data merge tool.

michael murphy, aka "the indesigner" has a video which might help:

otherwise search the terms "data merge business card indesign cs4" in google (specifically for videos).

hope this helps.
