  HELP!!! Automating PDF creation

  Posted by Rob Milburn on March 27, 2008 at 11:15 am

  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
