Hello,

 

I am doing a data merge to InDesign and most of my pictures show up fine. Some however are not being transferred like the rest. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've double checked and tripple checked the filepath, photo location and everything. When I go to complete my data merge I get this error. You can see in the image below that that it's pulling the pics before and after just fine.

Hi Kristine,

turn on the option to see all file suffixes for all file types. That's the first I do when installing a new PC or Mac.

It's just a checkbox under tab "View" when you have a window open with a list of files and folders.

And if you at that also enable the view on invisible elements.

 

Regards,
Uwe Laubender

    Can you provide the full data line from the CSV/TXT for the missing image, as well as the header field and image the of the image in its file location with file info displayed? I suspect the actual image has a lowercase jpg or jpeg extension.
