dear all

thanks for your usual help

I have a master design with place for text

the text area will be fill by a 400 different titles ( episodes of a show )

so at the end I should have 400 different images

as I know I can do it by making the main image as Master and create 400 pages, but I don't feel this is the right way!

the 400 titles are exist in .txt file, I can make it as JSON or XML or word or Excel

is there any way to tell the indesign go to the text files and keep each line in this place as new image ?

Hi Khalid:

This does sound like a data merge situation. You can merge text and images.

Merge data to create form letters, envelopes, or mailing labels in Adobe InDesign
