I noticed one thing when updating to InDesign CC 2017..............


The data merge speed is much, much faster than previous. (when exporting to pdf).


Anyone else notice this?

Haven't noticed anything faster CC 2017 but haven't done any data merge since upgrading.

What did you update from? The only time I noticed a speed increase was when going from Indesign CS6 to Indesign CC as Indesign became a native 64 bit app and could use all your RAM rather then the limited use it had in CS6.

From the CC before 2017 to CC2017. Just one jump.

I noticed it on a very large merge, over 10,000 pages. Seemed to take a half an hour in the previous version, this one only about 5 minutes.

I dunno, was very noticeable to me but if others don't notice it, maybe there's some other reason.

(moon phase, climate changing, who knows).

Ooops, it did it again.

375 page 2 sided merge, one side with a 3 inch 600 dpi logo, the rest text, exported in 30 seconds.

Now I KNOW it would have taked about 4 or 5 minutes before.

Speed doesn't kill, rapidly becoming stationary is the problem

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

Yes, sometimes I feel like Charlie Brown when Lucy pulls the football away when he's trying to do a place kick.

I think your right about it being faster now, I had a 10,000 page merge, that took foooreeevvver to make the pdf previously
