Practical examples of features in Adobe Illustrator
Graphic Numbers — inserting digits 0–9 as individual graphic symbols with scaling for different sizes
Logo in Numbers — automatic logo embedding directly into digits with dynamic positioning + optional graphics from CSV
Manual Diacritics — automatic placement of diacritical marks using symbols for fonts without CZ, SK, DE, PL localization
An alternative mode for keychains, stickers, tags and name badges — the script arranges dozens of personalised items on a single sheet and exports them as one PDF.
By default, the Illustrator script generates one PDF per CSV row — each jersey, hoodie or shirt as its own file. For small items printed in large quantities on a single sheet, this approach is inefficient — hundreds of tiny PDFs that are painful to RIP at the print shop.
For these cases the script offers an advanced sheet-layout mode. It works like an assembly line: you prepare as many small artboards with text fields as fit on your print sheet (for example 17 keychains on an A4), plus one large final artboard that visually overlaps them. You just name them with the keywords ‑donotexport and ‑donotoverwrite. The script fills all positions with CSV data and finally exports the whole sheet as a single PDF containing all personalised items.
One PDF instead of hundreds — huge time savings when RIPping at the print shop
Any number of items per sheet — depends only on the size of your print sheet
Works for anything small — keychains, stickers, tags, name badges, pins
Compatible with all features — graphic numbers, diacritics, optional graphics work as usual
Keyring sheet imposition — 2 sets of 17 pieces per sheet | Product 1: diacritics in names + graphic numbers (curves), Product 2: diacritics in names and nicknames
From bulk export to sheet layout for small items — all automatic
Automatic detection of encoding and delimiter. Intelligent column mapping. Hundreds of PDFs in minutes instead of hours of manual work.
Alternative mode — dozens of keychains, stickers or tags on a single print sheet as one PDF instead of hundreds of files. Keywords ‑donotexport and ‑donotoverwrite.
Set up the script for any combination — hoodies and caps, mugs and coasters, tags and ribbons. The interface adapts to your terminology.
Replace text numbers with graphic symbols from a library. Each digit 0–9 mapped separately with automatic scaling based on size.
Hybrid system for inserting sponsor logos directly into graphic numbers with dynamic placement via reference frames.
Show a sponsor, certificate or anniversary mark on selected products only? Just put the name in CSV — the script finds and displays the matching graphic.
Font doesn't support CZ Ř/Š/Ů, DE ß/Ü, PL Ł/Ż or SK Ľ? The script adds them manually. 10 symbol types for 4 languages. Automatic glyph validation.
First name above surname? Use || as separator in CSV. Chemical formulas H₂O or m²? The script turns H_2O into correct typography.
Text rotated 90°, 180° or −90°? The script reliably places diacritics and logo-in-numbers correctly even on rotated fields.
Jerseys in the morning, business cards in the afternoon? Save configurations as profiles. One click loads the complete setup for a different type of order.
Logos, diacritics and graphic numbers automatically adjust to product size based on a reference field. No manual adjustments for each size.
Automatic recovery from Illustrator errors, font validation before export, missing glyph detection. Ready for production use.
Every action logged in ExportPDF_Log.txt. Export issue? Attach the log to an email and we'll solve it quickly.
English, Czech, Slovak, German, Polish. Automatic system language detection. Ideal for international teams.
I develop the script based on real user needs. Write to me — if it makes sense, I'll implement the new feature.

I have been developing the exportPDF script since 2025. It was born from my own need to automate the creation of personalized printed materials — and I use it daily in my own production.
