I use Indesign mainly for redundant document with text variables. Each time, i need to :
- open a template file
- save to a new file
- edit manually all text variables with the edit variable panel (mainly text variables)
Is there a way to improve this workflow ?
I'm looking for specifically a method that would allow me to import the text variables from a csv file. It would be this kind of file :
variable-1, content
variable-2, content
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

You may need to look at a database publishing plugin such as EmSoftware InData or similar. However, I'm sure some clever soul could script something, if they haven't already.

If you work on a PC - I would suggest my ID-Tasker tool - it's not free, but can do way more than what you are looking for.
It could even do it on multiple templates with multiple CSV files - with one click.
Can you share a sample INDD file + one or more csv files?
