Been using Indesign VDP forever. Now whenever i insert a numeric data field (csv file) it places a QR code of the digits, instead of the actual digits. Tried from a new blank document and it does the same. HELP!
something to do with csv files. if i use an old one from the previous run, i get qr codes. If i create a new csv, it works fine..
Sounds weird. Can you see any difference at all in the two .csv files?
Something to do with the number of digits, and it's triggering a QR code result? Weird, toss the CSV file out have some other folks test it?
Could also be with how the field in Excel is formatted. Select the field(s) or column and change it to just text and see if that fixes it. I haven't done much with InD's merging, we do most in Fusion Pro.
trying saving your excel file as a tab delimited text file?
It's not something dumb like a font, right?
no. i even changed the column headers on the old file. im going to look into it tomorrow as its the usual fucking monday rush.
i didnt even know InD did QR codes autmoatically
