What the priint:comet plug-in for Adobe Illustrator is all about
API (customer specific functions)
Automated language adaptation
Interfaces to over 50 content systems
Support of XML / Excel files in stand alone mode
For the automated creation of packaging, labels and diagrams
We’ve added another tool to the priint:suite with the priint:comet Illustrator plug-in. The goal of the newest component in the priint:suite family of solutions is to enable automated creation of expanded print touchpoints like packaging and labels based in Adobe Illustrator. The intelligent placeholder logic and the connection to external content systems enables the highly automated creation of Illustrator documents in dozens of variants across countries and languages. Additional applications include generation and updating of diagrams and technical drawings.
No more copy paste with seamless data integration into Adobe Illustrator
A graphic designer designs and creates an Illustrator file with text and image elements. The created frames are linked ("tagged") with the priint:comet placeholders and the product information behind them. With just one click, the open Illustrator document is now connected to any data records or data from the content systems. Since this procedure can also be used for several data sets, a large number of Illustrator files are created automatically in a batch operation.
- Document creation in Adobe Illustrator
- Connection to content systems via priint:comet placeholder
- Automated filling with text and images at the push of a button
- Automatic creation of language variants
- Avoidance of manual, error-prone processes
Database publishing functionality
Text and image frames can be easily linked by the user with data fields from the connected systems.
Design rules in turn define dependencies. Whether content adapts to a frame or the frame adapts to the content. Especially in the latter case it is absolutely necessary to set frames in dependencies to each other and to define corresponding conditions in advance.
- Design rules define relationships and To Do's (ex. how to deal with overspeak)
- Generation of Illustrator files in batch mode#
- Automated adaptation in national and language versions
Easily generate and modify Tables in Adobe® Illustrator®?
Until now, the only way to create tables in Adobe® Illustrator® was to use a grid and make elaborate styling changes. Every change to positioning and style had to be made manually, sometimes over several documents.
In discussions with customers and partners, this has proven to be one of the core effort drivers in projects, along with the automated filling & updating of data from external sources. With our new plug-in we want to solve this problem. Since we have already solved the data supply from external sources with our priint:comet AI plug-in, we have focused here entirely on the simple creation of tables.
One of the great strengths of Adobe's Creative Cloud tools is their extensibility. Today, Illustrator is used for many applications that require the creation, editing or design of tabular representations. With our priint:illustrator tables plug-in, we enable a particularly high level of ease and automation for many actions that today are only possible in Illustrator with great difficulty. This is made possible by our own tools and masks that our plug-in brings with it.
- Create real tables including text frames automatically
- Automatically convert graphic & text frames without rebuilding the table
- Direct placement of image elements in tables
- Direct work with frame, cell and column contours
- Easy scaling of tables using the specially created tool
- Automatic adaptation of cell contents when changing table geometry
- Simple joining of cells
- Full control over table appearance as well as table and cell formats
