Data Merge Shows Demo but Doesn't Output


Recommended Posts

Presented to the Affinity Community:

  This bug is also in Publisher V1.

I have attached a folder containing a CSV, example art images, and an afPub file designed to let me make easy changes to my art commission pricing and example work. The images, art offerings, and prices are all Data Merge fields.

  My problem is that when I am in the Data Merge Manager, I can step through each index and everything appears as expected, but when I try to output a document, the pricing and pictures disappear. Hopefully someone has the answer because it is quite confusing. Thanks!

Are you wanting the final output to be one single page? Or are you wanting 8 pages?

All the images are using relative paths and I don't think that will work. 

You have too many Data Merge columns, it should work with just one. Try with just one, one column containing all four of the fields.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks! The adjustments worked on pricing which is great. Relative paths work, but they only work right now if my images are in a data merge layout. That causes some problems stylistically but it does demonstrate that the problem is elsewhere.
