Hi
thanks for the fast reply, ive gone back through the guide and noticed i missed out a small line from the walkthrough, stating a different formula is to be used if using the demo version, see below:
9. In cell B2, enter the formula:
Licensed Version use: =IDAutomation_DMatrix_FontEncoder()
Demo Version, use: =EncDM()
so with that change, using EncDM instead of the licensed version, it made the necessary change to the data, so all good there
However, now that i have got further along in the process, im stuck at another step, specifically when i am importing the CSV into InDesign and using the Find/Replace feature, its only working on the preview record, and not making the change to every record in the data, for example jobs i will need to get this working on, are documents of say 10,000 records, the change we do in Find/Replace needs to apply to every single record, not the first record
on this guide here > https://support.idautomation.com/Office-Macros-VBA/How-to-Create-2D-barcodes-in-InDesign-using-Fonts/_3420
pretty much from step 6 or 7 onwards, i follow the steps, but its not making the changes all the way through the document, only to the 1 record that you are currently previewing, it WILL change the _r_r in the data string to ~b~k to create break lines, but it doesnt carry that out throughout the whole document, for record 2,3,4 onwards.
also when you export to PDF, it ignores the changes and just shows the data with _r_r on it and doesnt replace them ~b~k
any ideas why this is not applying to all records and only the 1? (and then ignore the changes when exporting to PDF) its almost like there needs to be a buttong or option somewhere that says "apply to all records" or something but i cant see it
if i can upload the InDesign file for you to have a look at, would that help? ive also uploaded 4 screenshots showing:
1) the find/replace settings page
2) the effect working on the single preview record
3) the changes getting discard when you cycle through to record 2
4) the changes still being discard even when you go back to record 1, its as if its not actually holding onto the changes ive told it to make
any help would be appreciated (getting there, just stumbling at this final hurdle)
