  • CS3 PDF Generation and XML Import problems

    I am hoping someone can help here, I have been pulling my hair out for
    days now!

    I am trying to duplicate this tutorial: https://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/08/04/indesign.html.
    I know the tutorial is rather old but this is exactly what I need,
    right down to the individual PDFs being created.

    I have laid out my card, generated my XML and imported it, but the
    generation of the PDFs is not working.

    Here is my InDesign file: https://www.piermarketing.com/misc/BC_NetTrav_template.indd
    Here is my XML: https://www.piermarketing.com/misc/ordersExpFull2008Mar26-1604.xml

    When I import the XML it shows up fine in my structure pane and the
    initial data from the first record is inserted just fine but the
    subsequent data just sits there. I have read so many tutorials and
    manuals but i can not seem to figure this out.

    I also do not know scripting and what I have tried to figure out does
    nothing.

    Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong? Please help!!!!

    Thank you,
    Rob
