Publisher Data Merge preview selects and shows master page with placeholder text.


Recommended Posts

Publisher on Windows 10/11 64 bit, hardware acceleration on/off.

When using data merge manager with a master page set, previewing a record selects/shows the master page with placeholder text rather than the page you were looking at. I think this has been a problem since about 2.0.4 but is still there in 2.1.1. I'm sure this worked as expected in 2.0.0-2.0.3.

Images are correctly updated on the master page but the text is shown as the field placeholder text. Reselecting page 1 shows all the substituted data correctly but changing record reselects the master again. Now that I know what the problem is, it's easy enough to work around but would be nice for speed of workflow if this could be looked at. I think in previous versions of the issue some text data was substituted in the master but not all so it was a little harder to understand what was happening. Generating files always worked as expected so I just lived with it until now.

I made a little video of the problem:

Thanks
