I have an on-going Indd project that involves assigning unique barcodes to approximately 300 company assets. (BarcodeMaker for InDesign CS3 Mac (SKU85925821775)
The client supplies an Excel spreadsheet, and until now I have been copying & pasting data from TextEdit or AI into Indesign, and manually updating each barcode. This is more pleasant than generating barcodes in Corel, but still rather tedious.
Is anyone familiar with David Blatner's Barcodemaker? I would like to know whether it's possible to automate this process and how I might set up the Indd doc so that existing barcodes are updated with the new data. I don't know anything about scripting, but am willing to give it a whirl...
Any thoughts?
