The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2024(v19.5.0.084). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
Kindly update the data source file with the POSIX style path in Macintosh to work with data merge functionality smoothly. Please refer to the helpx https://helpx.adobe.com/in/indesign/using/data-merge.html to know more about the difference between HFS and Posix style paths.
You can get the actual POSIX path of a file by right-click it in the Finder while holding Option (or right-click, then press Option) > Copy as pathname menu. This can help you explore the correct POSIX paths to ensure you're using them correctly.
Note: Relative path as such /<foldername>/<filename> is no longer supported after the fix, as it considers the starting “/” as an absolute path. Instead, the recommendation is to omit the starting “/” and use <foldername>/<filename> instead or any of the other existing ways to access the…

on my Mac with MacOS Sanoma 14.5 icw InDesign 2024 version 19.4.0.63 is not working with data merge and images. The path delimiter : is not working anymore. This is critical for me since I work with Data Merge daily.
Same file works flawless in InDesign 2023 regarding te images. Some data fields I have to repair (re-assign).Roland Mol DTP Solutions

UTF-8 supports less characters. That’s why UTF-16 is the better choice

@jeiclaudio the solution for the absence of line breaks can be (sort of) solved in the following way: make a Text Style (“force line break”) that streches a character to 2000% (the maximum amount). In the Paragraph Style add a GREP style looking for any double or more spaces (\s{2,}) and assign the Text Style you just made. When you add a double space in the data base the spaces will strech beyond the frame edge on the right forcing the text after the spaces to ‘break’ to the next line. (If two spaces don’t do the job just add a few more spaces and it’ll work, I promise :) Oh and emojis can also be done with GREP styles using a dedicated ‘emoji’ font (not full color though).
Good luck!Roland Mol DTP Solutions

For now I made an automated task using GREP. I explain this all in an online video (speaking Dutch, sorry :] ). You can find it here: https://www.rolandmol.nl/blog/prijzen-schuin-doorstrepen/
The solution starts at 2:40 :)Roland Mol DTP Solutions

Hey Jens,
By far the best option at the moment is the script 'Batch convert/export' by Peter Kahrel. I use it every single day and does almost exactly what you describe and much more. The only downside (if that really is one) is that it always exports all open InDesign files. Something I tend to forget now and then. Read the manual well. It takes a little while to understand all the possibilities but once you do you will ask yourself how you could ever have done without it. And because it's a script you can also assign a keyboard shortcut to it to make things even easier for you :)

InDesign CC : 2020 / 15.0.0.155
MacOS : 10.13.6
MS Excel : 16.30 for MacWhen importing an Excel sheet containing dates to InDesign, all dates are displayed as zero's: 0/0/0
Any date format fails to import properly.
Only when using formula =text(TODAY();"dd-mm-yy") the date is imported correctly (because I force the date to be imported as literal text)For now that is the workaround. Please correct the bug.

FYI keyboard shortcuts can also be assigned to single scripts :)
So: Cmd-E for export and for example Cmd-Ctrl-E for batch_convert.
As I said: I use it every day :)An error occurred while saving the comment Roland Mol DTP Solutions

Hi Jeff,
Have you ever heard of the script 'batch_convert.jsx' ? It's a free script by Peter Kahrel. https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/batch_convert.htmlThis script exports to PDF and a lot of other interesting things. In this script, amongst other settings, you can choose to overwrite existing files (or not) and it works like a charm. I use it every day.
Give it a try. You'll be surprised what this script can do for you! :)

The feature to “Preserve Filename on PDF Export” was introduced in InDesign 2019 in the PDF Export dialog.
The option is called “Use InDesign Document Name as the Output Filename”.Marking this Feature Request as Completed.

@kat - I'm running into the same problems: clients changing the PDF filename and then I have to guess which original it was. My best solution is to save my InDesign and PDF files always with the date in the filename. 181126 would be for today. When my client returns one year later I can open up the pdf and always retrieve the original creation date. That creation date will be my starting point for the search. Always bingo :)

I see a lot of ideas when it comes to PDF export and file naming behavior. All ideas could come together in 1 overall feature. In the left export column can be added an extra option called File naming.
The option containes the ability to force InDesign to use the original filename and you can choose extra options for naming. Such as prefix and/or suffix. Here you can also select the option to export single pages or spreads to PDF

So… still using (first dowgraded to) 19.3 until this issue is really solved. Don’t want to be a beta tester working with client files and deadlines…
