Project details
Looking to streamline the creation of your InDesign documents using data from multiple sources? Let me help automate that process for you.
In addition to XML-based workflows, I specialize in automating InDesign’s Data Merge feature using a variety of input formats such as JSON, CSV, and text files. Whether you need to populate templates with data from spreadsheets, databases, or custom formats, I can develop efficient solutions that place your content exactly where it needs to be.
My scripts are highly modular and well-documented, making future adjustments or expansions easy. By collaborating closely with you, I ensure that the automation fits your specific requirements, with minimal effort required for updates. From personalized marketing materials to large-scale catalogs, I can handle projects of all sizes.
With more than 20 years of experience in technical documentation and automation, I deliver reliable solutions that save you time and ensure consistency across your documents.
Reach out, and let’s discuss how automating InDesign’s Data Merge can boost your workflow.
Kind regards,
Frank

With 20+ years of delivering automation and data solutions across industries, I turn complex requirements into clean, working software. Clients come back because the result actually holds up: no duct tape, no black box — just solid code their team can understand and maintain. I adapt the technology to your project (Python, C#, Java, XSLT, JavaScript), not the other way around.
What I deliver:
• Data Extraction & Conversion – Pull and transform data from XML, JSON, CSV, Excel, or legacy formats into PDF, HTML, Word/Excel, databases, or plain text — write once, publish everywhere.
• Document & Publishing Automation – XSLT transformations, single-source publishing pipelines, automated layout and content placement (including Adobe InDesign scripting).
• Workflow Automation – Scripts that eliminate manual steps, schedule processing, and enforce consistency across your data — so nothing falls through the cracks and no one has to babysit the process.
• Custom Tools & Utilities – Command-line tools and lightweight desktop apps (Python, C#, Java) for data processing, report generation, or system-specific tasks.
• System Integration – Connect disparate systems so data flows between them without manual intervention.
I communicate throughout — not just at delivery. You'll always know where things stand, and you'll get documentation so your team isn't dependent on me afterward.
If you have a data, automation, or document challenge, let's talk. I'll give you an honest picture of what's feasible and the smartest approach for your situation.
