I will automate your indesign catalog or price list from a spreadsheet
Sherif E.
About this gig
Your catalog already exists. The problem is rebuilding it every time the prices change.
I write a script that reads your spreadsheet and builds the InDesign pages for you. Product rows become laid out pages. Styles come from your existing document, so the result looks like your designer made it, because they did.
What this handles:
Excel and CSV data of any size
Automatic page creation as the data grows
Text that overflows its frame
Images placed from a folder or a URL column
Paragraph and character styles from your own document
PDF export at the end
What you get:
A working script or plugin you run yourself
The full source code, commented
A short written guide
Support while you get it running
I build on UXP, which is Adobe's current plugin platform, and on ExtendScript where you are on an older InDesign.
Send me your template and a sample of your data. I will tell you what can be automated and what cannot, before you order.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

Most Adobe production work is the same few hours repeated forever. A 200 page catalog rebuilt by hand every quarter. A thousand images resized one at a time.
I write the scripts and plugins that remove that work. A spreadsheet goes in, a finished InDesign document comes out. One button instead of three days.
I build on UXP, Adobe's current platform, and ExtendScript for older ones. Six production plugins that turn a spreadsheet into InDesign pages, plus Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere Pro work. You get the source and a short guide.
Send me your file and what you do to it by hand.
FAQ
Will it work on my version of InDesign?
Tell me the version before you order and I will confirm. UXP needs InDesign 18 or newer. For anything older I write ExtendScript instead, which works the same for you.
Do I get the source code?
Yes, always. Commented, and yours to keep and change.
What if my data changes shape later?
Send it over. Small changes to an existing script are usually a quick fix rather than a new order.
Can you work with my existing styles?
Yes. The script reads the paragraph and character styles already in your document rather than inventing new ones.
