If I understand your question, I think conceptually this should allow you to do what you want to. These can continue to have parent/child relationships, so master C could be based on B, and thus be the grand-child of A. Here you can see how B is based on A - Based on Master "A-Basic Page Grid" It would be kind of like one would do on a html page where you enter a code/unique identifier in a textbox. Your document page is where you place the fields that InDesign will populate with data from the merge. Having two or more pages restricts data merge to single-record mode. The Master Page should contain only elements that don't change (background images, static text, and so on). A multiple record data merge can only be produced from a single page InDesign document. I rotate the frame 90 (Right-Click Windows or Ctrl-Click Mac > Transform > Rotate). When you put a field on a Master Page, you get the result you're seeing. Using the Type Tool (T) I create a long text frame at the top of the right page, adjusting this to read the issue’s date, and then format the text to adjust the size, font and color. Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag the page icon or. The new page or spread appears at the end of the document. Select a page or spread, and then choose Duplicate Page or Duplicate Spread in the Pages panel menu. The new spread appears at the end of the document. What you need to do is create a Book (via main menu File > New > Book) and then add your multiple InDesign docs to this book. ![]() In this example, A-Basic Page Grid contains the rows, columns, and other guides that B,C, & D all are built on top of (see how they have the "A" over their pages, that means they are referencing A-Basic Page Grid). I was wondering: is there a way, preferably through Adobe scripting and data merge, to get data on each page from either a server or csv document where the user has input a variable(in the red box). Data Merge works only with document pages. Drag the page range numbers under a spread to the New Page button. But you can then add more things, page numbers or graphics or a header to B without changing A. When you create B-master you can choose for it to use A-master as its starting point. Now, you can do multiple master pages where subsequent master pages add to earlier master pages. You can control whether it's a one or multiple record-per-page result, but that's it. Modify and transform objects by using the. That is, you set up layout and formatting for one record (on a single page) and Data Merge just repeats it as many times as there are applicable records in your data source. Explain the process of using Data Merge to build a template and import data into a final InDesign or PDF document. Conceptually, master pages are alternate templates - an actual page in your document can only use 1 template at a time. Essentially, Data Merge operates on a one-off, single-format basis. No, multiple masters cannot be applied to a single page.
