HELP! I've created a template for event badges and have been instructed by the client to insert the (200 ) names and relevant companies into it...Is there a script that can do this in illustrator? Should I be using Indesign?

An events client I'm working for have asked me to create a template for badges. Rather than ask the printers to insert the names and companies of the individuals present at the event though, they want me to create all of the pdf files for (200+) people!
I have an excel sheet of the people that will be present. My question is: is there a way to automate this? to define editable areas in a template and run some sort of batch processing script?
Thanks!

This would be a perfect job for Data Merge in InDesign. You can place your AI design into InDesign (minus the text fields), and then easily create a merge.

  • HT203167 I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

  • TS1398 After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet via the 3G network unless I turn it off and then on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this issue?

    After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet using a mobile 3G network unless I turn my phone off and then back on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this?

    Then I'm at a loss. Mine has switched automatically from the start, favoring Wi-Fi, any of its registered networks, whenever available. Only thing I can think of is trying a Force Restart and see if that clears things up: hold down Home and Sleep till the screen goes black and a white Apple logo pops up. Release and allow it to restart.
    May be similar, when I got the i5 about 16 months ago, the local carrier was starting to roll out 4G service. The phone would regularly lose all carrier connection, voice and data. Haphazardly would reconnect when it felt like it afterwards. Initially did the Off/On dance to speed things up, but discovered that using Airplane Mode would do the same without the lengthier power cycle. After awhile, the carrier 'fessed they were having capacity issues and later the problem went away. So yours too may also be a carrier issue.

  • Is there a script that will reset preferences in Illustrator?

    I'm using Illustrator CS6 and Illustrator CC on both Mac and PC. Holding down Ctrl-Alt-Shift or Command-Option-Shift while launching Illustrator does not work to reset the preferences.
    Does anyone know an easy way to reset preferences?

    Move the complete folder out of there:

    You can trash it immediately, but you can also wait if this move solves your proble and then maybe delete it afterwards.

  • Is there a utility that can do this?

    I have a few videos I watch every day for training purposes. What I'd love to be able to do is find some way where I black out everything else on my screen except the movie, so I can't see any other windows, can't see the desktop, nothing. I want to eliminate visual distractions.
    now some will say "just go full screen", but I don't want to go full screen. The resolution doesn't support it and that's just too big and fuzzy. I want to keep it at about a half to a third of the screen, but I want that size displayed and then nothing else.
    I seem to vaguely remember some utility that would do something like this but now I can't find it, and maybe I just dreamt it up. Anybody have any suggestions?

    I'm using QuickTime Player 10.0.
    Try the key sequence "Command-F" followed by "Command-1" to play the file at its "normal" size on a black screen.

  • Is there a script that can count 'How many points are used in an entire document and/or how many are used by placed graphics'?

    My company is having issues with artwork being used in it's creative that contains extremely high points counts.  This causes issues downstream and we want to be proactive rather than reactive.

    It's not possible (to the best of my knowledge) to access the points in
    a PDF or EPS that are placed in InDesign.
    However, an InDesign script could open the files in Illustrator (if Illy
    can open those files), get it to count the points, and return the result
    to InDesign via BridgeTalk.

  • I don't know why but I have Firefox optimized for Yahoo! and I hate Yahoo. Is there someway I can get rid of it and get another version

    Not much to add. I hadn't used Firefox for sometime. It was already on my MAC laptop and I had so much trouble with Safari recently that I decided to go back to Firefox. However, I just realized it is called FirefoxOptimized for Yahoo. And I hate it.
    Is there some way I can get a plain Firefox ?

  • How to create custom template for webcenter portal application

    Hi,
    I created webcenter portal application in my jdev using the webcenter portal application template provided by the webcenter framework.
    I tried to create custom template for my application by following steps:
    1. Created new application using webcenter portal application template with all default package structure.
    2. Right click pagetemplates folder under webcontent package and select new option.
    3. New gallery opens up.
    4. Selected JSF under webtier and JSF Page Template under items in the right hand side and clicked Ok button.
    5. New wizard opens up for creating new JSF page template.
    6. Gave template name(file name) and Page Template Name(template def name).
    7. Selected checkbox staing start a Quick Start Layout and selected three column layout and selected Ok.
    8. Selected checkbox for Create Associated ADFm Page Defination(so that page templates can be changes at run time).
    9. Created some Facet Definations (header, footer, content1, content2, LHN, RHN).
    10. Clicked Ok button which will create custom template.
    11. Added some Panel Group Layout component from Component Palette.
    12. Created new page (.jspx) with this template.
    Now when I try to add producer portlets created using Producer Portlet application template and connected to the above application using WSRP2.0, I'm facing problem.
    The prolem is that I'm not able to add more than one portlet in one single page?
    Kindly let me know whether the steps followed by me is wrong some where and needs to corrected and let me know how I can add more than one portlet to page?
    Basically I cant see more than one placeholders in my page to add portlets.

    Thanks Yannick.
    In the step 9 I had mentioned that I created various facet definations (header, footer, content, content1 RHN and LHN).
    Is this is not facet you are talking about or should I drop facet ref from the resource palette?
    Can't I add moer than one portlet to my page at design time itself?
    Annoying since in weblogic portal we do this at design time(.portal).

  • RFC Sender error could not create function template for...

    Hi,
    I am trying to send an async RFC to XI. Since I use IN BACKGROUND TASK and COMMIT WORK I got following error in the SM58 of the back end system
    Server repository could not create function

    In the XI, I see nothing (no message, no error)
    How can I fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Thomas,
      You may need to have logical destinatio types for sender RFC. (and in the refernce entry you need to provide the actual destination)
    may be some other errors also, Check this link and see if you have followed all the steps.

    I have an iPad 2 and want to be able to design my own templates for invitations, labels, and such. What do I need to do to be able to do this? Apps??

    Take a look at these three sites and you might find something in one that will work for you.

    I downloaded iDraw - which is an Adobe Illustrator wannabe for the iPad. You can export to PDF and other formats using iDraw. iDraw also supports file sharing. File Sharing is the iPad/iTunes way to send files back and forth from the iPad to your computer and back again.
    This site will tell you about iDraw.
    http://www.indeeo.com/idraw/
    This is a link to iOS File Sharing which you will find useful as well.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    There are third party apps in the app store that will allow you to use virtually any printer even if you don't have one of the HP AirPrint compatible printers.
    You can even use an app like Pages to create your templates. You can insert art and photos into Pages and it supports file sharing as well. Pages is a Word Processing app and I would be inclined to not use it for your purposes but it will work for some basic designs however it's certainly not ideal for creating artwork.

  • I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
    8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.
