Affinity Designer Data Merge

[Mark Schnegg]

Hello,

I recently purchased the Affinity Apps for Windows. I am looking to convert a 30 page catalog from InDesign to Affinity Designer. 

I am looking tp convert a 30 page catalog from InDesign CS4 to Affinity Designer. I would like to put placeholders in all the product locations and use something like a csv or excel file to populate the product locations. Each location has several components; a background image, a product image, a description, a photo credit (which can be in any one of 3 positions, and a a image tag (special, new, best seller, etc) which can be in two locations. All the components would need their own style (which could be specified in the placeholders). Does Designer have any of this data merge capability? (or a scripting capability)

Thanks

Mark

No. Affinity Publisher has a data merge feature but none of the apps has scripting capability (yet).
