Data merge images with different sizes

[jaybray]

Is it possible to data merge images that have different dimensions?

My uses case is I need to create a page that display an email screenshot and some basic info about that email. The text fields are no issue. The email screenshots are all the same width, but have different height values. Each page has one screenshot.

When I perform the merge, all the images get pulled in as expected, but the software can't seem to compensate for the different heights so some images are cutoff or not fully within the bounds of the image frame. "Size Frame To Content" works, but doesn't seem to auto adjust across pages.

I've made a master page 600px wide, and made the height extra long to ensure all messages fit. I have multiple ways to go back in and remove the empty spaces later.

Hi @jaybray, as far as I'm aware there is no automatic size picture frame to content option, this I believe is a manual process that you have to undertake after the data merge. I would make the picture frame on the source page tall enough to accomodate the longest email and select scale to min fit in the picture frame properties, setting the anchor to top... that way you shouldn't get any cropping when merging your emails. It's then up to you whether or not you actually need to size the picture frame to the content which will be a decision based on the layout of your page in respect of any additional content.
