Illustrator Variable Data - The EASY way!

[pokieydamnit]

Okay, I did this once, twice, three times a.... and I ran into an issue, went for a walk and came back to watch this again and realized I needed to change the NUMBer on the artboard to a digit and not a name. You have been very instrumental in helping me develop a new process for manufacturing. You are the BEST! Oh yes I subscribed too!!

I swear, at first i was getting confused on how to make things work but then i started changing all the headings and object names to the same names then it all worked out. YOU SAVED ME A TONS OF HOURS!!! I was working with 200 names for a certificate as well as an ID and this video helped me tons! if i could like this video more than once, i would've done it already. :)

Thank you so much! I watched this video a while back and lo-and-behold I find myself using this process a few months later. Thank you for being so thorough with your explanation. I had a little difficulty with the image dataset but I figured it out. Thank you!

Here is a note: I had been trying to do this for hours with no success - somehow the variables would not be assigned to the objects. That is until I removed the capital letters in the variable names and objects. I guess they were considered "special characters".

BINGO. IT WORKS.

Thanks for the tutorial, although it took me a whole day to make this technique work, next time it'll save me heaps of time!

Thanks John and Vas, this worked perfectly for us. Even easier than before. Keep up the good work!

This video was great! I do suggest you make a more modern one. The script has been updated so the GUI looks different.

Amazing Tutorial dude!! Really, it saved me a lot of work, finally i find another way to do this without Indesign, thanks a LOT!! I just have a question, is it possible to save all the bunch of "cards" into a single PDF file? it helps a lot when you need to share the file and to print, i will really appreciate if you have a tip for do this, again thanks a lot

Does the image place holder accept any type of file such as a .pdf or .ai file?

[nicoleleftakes]

Thank you so much! Do you know if there is something similar for InDesign with the exporting of specific file names?
