Variable data, text and images in Adobe Illustrator CC

[@PrimoTutorials]

For those who are wondering how to create more useful filenames, like filenames according to your sheet. Go watch my new tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHjQn2Z4ha-be5Y

[@thepiyushkumar]

You've saved my life! Thanks to you I finished created 25000 of such files within a few days and without any errors!!

[@sdscode]

this is one of the best video tutorials that I have ever seen related to data - graphics. It is very appreciated, thank you so much.

[@midorner]

Ok. Honestly, this was the most useful video on Illustrator I’ve seen in the past 10 years. Thank you champ!!

[@PrimoTutorials]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@elliotbaker3757]

Back here again after several visits to say thank you! I have made 17,000 image mockups using this! Absolute game changer. Thank you

[@PrimoTutorials]

Wow thats a decent project. Glad to be of help!

[@XenoMorph-t9w]

Thanks a Lot! This save me a lot of time for my work! Now I can just set back an wait for the batch to finish 2000 cards that would've take me the whole day to manually type them. Thank you so much!

[@mleonardgy]

This is such a time saver and removes the likelihood of errors. I watched the video and was cursing you because it wasn't working - then I realized I clicked the wrong button when I was making the text dynamic. :D Good tutorial. Thanks

[@PrimoTutorials]

Always easy to blame the youtube guy haha

[@jasonwarren597]

Great tutorial. straight forward and no extra fluff. Much appreciated!!!

[@scharyu]

Bro a pure genius. I had to make 250 named badges and instead of filling names manually, I need just a few minutes.

[@PrimoTutorials]

Thanks bro!

[@DDILOOK-ig2md]

Sir. you saved my life. i almost f**ked up at my office!!! but you saved me. thank you so much!!!

[@andresdearmas2703]

Thank you very much! great explanation. One point: when linking the text to variables, it worked selecting the text with the text tool, not the textbox. Thanks for your help!

[@kieransimmer]

My problem as well, glad I came by this!

[@Don-xy8cy]

What a great tutorial. I wont need to look anywhere else for this topic, you explained it perfectly. Thank you.

[@Rafa.mudo.]

wow man you saved me a solid hour of copy pasting names for an event's name tags haha, thanks a lot

[@whatthevideos4599]

Out of 100 videos ! you are the MAN! such an amazing video simple and very understandable

[@geralddc]

Watched many on AI variables & multiple PDF saving, this was the BEST! Tq. You really save me hours of work!!!

[@valeria_flores]

This is so helpful!!! I work with infographics all the time, and every few months they need to be updated with new data. This will help me save so much time, thank you!

[@PrimoTutorials]

You're welcome! Do you work with graphs as well? Making a new video on that subject soon.

[@valeria_flores]

@@PrimoTutorials Yes, I do actually! 🙂In that case, I'll subscribe and keep an eye open for that video. Thanks!

[@ChrJahnsen]

Very well executed guide, my friend. Not too long and not too short.

[@senthisri4137]

Great Video! helped me creating a monthly Calendar with different variables. if you want to bulk delete all the imported datasets, you might indeed find that the default functionality only allows for deleting them one by one! So, if anyone want to delete them you can use script function.

[@Jysq]

This helped me setting up QR for vendors on an event! Thank you so much!

[@PrimoTutorials]

What did you use to generate the qr?

[@renettahill2816]

Great video. You explained everything beautifully and was straight to the point. I greatly appreciate that marked your video in sections so I can go to exactly the part I may need at the time... Other vides are 10-15 minutes long and leave you confused. Thanks for posting awesome content.

[@tonnatang]

[@DMH69]

Thank you for posting such important lesson.

[@djh3214]

the solution for "The incoming variable library is invalid" is by changing the ( ; ) to ( , ) in the SEPARATED LIST in windowns control panel language and region --- First change the decimal symbole from ( , ) to ( . ) and then the SEPARTED LIST

[@floy61]

Thanks Bro. :')

[@DailyReminder313]

Thanks Bro ....... short and sweet explanation/.............

[@DigitalDesignDude]

Do the following if you want to make images scale to fit within the area of the original linked image regardless of aspect ratio: 1. Window Tab>Links 2. Select your linked image from the panel and from the top-right 3 dashes menu select "Placement Options" 3. Set the "preserve" option to "Fit" Hope that helps :)

[@JigarVavadia]

Very helpful for creating batch Social Media Post.

[@Rocky4u]

[@augustszarins8636]

[@JamiltonMacedo]

To copy the flag paths, you just select all images, hold shift, right click and select Path Copy

[@spanno6140]

for anyone that wants an image file instead of pdf, on the batch menu check "override action "Export" on the export folder to save different files, i didnt check and it was just replacing the same img file over and over :(

[@deddywirata3719]

you are right, I did not notice this, and as my batch consists of 100 different files, I need to click 100 times :(

[@yutikashindolkar9547]

This needs to be pinned to the top

[@joshuarileymagic]

should have read this! Spent the last few minutes trying to work out why it didn't work properly 😂

[@M-cr5ek]

Thank you for the tutorial. My texts worked but the image just doesn't change, I did exactly what you instructed. image data column used: C:\Users\61432\Desktop\Icecream2 (no any space) could you advise anything wrong in this? Much appreciated.

You can use Dirlister to get list of name of your files in second. I also using Advanced Renamer when I have to remove the black spaces or any symbol in the file name.

At 4:36 you could have used =CONCATENATE with a little bit of tweaking and you would have finished it in 2 seconds hehe You basically do =CONCATENATE hold CTRL and click on the cells you want to merge the text.

[@PrimoTutorials]

Thanks for the tip! You can also copy al the paths at ones by holding down shift and rightclick the documents. But I also learned that after this video haha.
