: Software Recommendation for Card Layout I am looking to design many unique study cards, with text and some images on the front and back, to be printed on a professional digital press. Right
I am looking to design many unique study cards, with text and some images on the front and back, to be printed on a professional digital press. Right now, I have the material in a table, with one row per card to be printed.
My question is: what tool can I use to convert a long list of source material into mostly-laid-out cards? I may have to do some manual tweaking, but is there some tool to bulk-import these card lists into a layout document?
Note that this is a different problem than a mail merge or greeting-card run, because each of the cards I am making is unique, in a set of about 1000. I don't want the same card 1000 times; rather, I want to bulk-import many unique cards and then adjust by hand.

I've been messing around with Flat and Even from xxyxyz.org/. Flat is a graphics toolkit written in Python. Even is a presentation gui and python editor. It's very handy for mocking up pdf documents programatically.
If you are an inDesign user, you can use Adobe's scripting features or basil.js, a plugin that uses a more processing-like syntax for manipulating inDesign documents.
