Hello. I'm using the PrintMerge feature to make signs for a retail store. I have two separate files--one with the entire sign except the price, and a separate CDR file with just the prices. When the prices change, I would like to create just the CDR with the prices and then merge them with the other sign file.The "merge" is where I'm having problems. This isn't importing/appending one CDR behind the other. I need the two files to blend together with the CDR prices file layering into the main file. The macro would have to, I think, step through both files, find the prices, then copy or move them into the other CDR file in a page-to-page process.I hope I've explained everything clearly. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish this? Thanks!MWHarris

As for your monthly project, I could probably come up with an idea for you, but I'd need to know more about that project.
When creating Merge Document I would place each regional price on separate layer (price for region1 on layer1, etc). After PrintMegre to new document I would have all prices on page (each on separate layer) and then you can make layers enable/disable for export by using macro.
See attached sample file - contains macro “hidelayers” to publish pdf for each region (4 regions= 4 pdf files) to the same directory as cdr file is saved.
