When i batch export my data sets (using a saved/recorded action) I get the correct number of files with correct names, etc. If I can solve them everything will work as intended. They are all showing correctly in the project file and with the desired data set names. If so, I have never used scripts before and would like some help setting this up.

Normally I would achieve something like this using recorded actions, however, I don't know how to do this using datasets with a custom name for each as explained above: Seems like it will only let me name them as the dataset name, or filename + number, etc. However, I do not know how to batch export these with a custom name for each.

I can import my csv sheet and see my different datasets which are all showing correctly as I cycle through them. However, ideally I would want 2 subfolders in "export" called "pdf" and "png" - but not necessary. It is fine if this is the same folder each time, say called "export" in some specific path. If I can export as pdf and png with name = HeadlineVariable (object name) for each dataset - that would be ideal:Īll exports can go to the same folder. See the example below where I have imported the variable library. I want to be able to batch export these as both pdf and png (png = zoom 300%, clipped to arboard) as individual files (2 for each dataset) with a custom name for each dataset based on some variable. of datasets with different headlines, images and a source/text. csv spreadsheet as a variable library that creates x no. I want to automate some tasks and thus, be able to import a. I'm still fairly new to Illustrator, so hope someone can help me out.
