Hello,
I am trying to create PDF files from a merge using InDesign and a simple .CSV. File. For some reason, InDesign reaches 66 out of 182 records, and then proceeds to generate THOUSANDS (like, 4,000 pages) of pages from records 1-66. Even when I try to print single records, it seems to disregard this and perform the same problem. I am at a loss for words, all the settings seem correct. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I actually solved the issue by creating an entirley new .CSV file and psting the information. I think I created the wrong type of .CSV by mistake and InDesign was reading it incorrectly.
Thanks for any consideration!

pls state the following:
also … pls include screen-cap of records-tab and options-tab in indesign’s create-merged-document palette … this is accessed via the window/ utilities/ data-merge interface. refer to the screen-cap below as example.
others will come along to assist … the above info will help them to assist you.

good to hear you resolved the situation, williama. some things i came across … creating *.csv file on mac-os (numbers-spreadsheet) … text-encoding should be set to western (mac os roman). also … i needed to remember to close down the spreadsheet … before pulling the data-merge into indesign … else it would try creating pages that didn't exist. i share this info … so it may help others peeking into your post … thanks.
