Automatic Page Layout Question


  • Subject: Automatic Page Layout Question
  • From: Brent Deverman <email@hidden>

I need to create a script to automate a page layout process.

I need help choosing the program to do this.

Here is the process:

I have a text file with 20,000 names.

I want to take a pre drawn graphic that does not change and duplicate it
multiple times on a page for as many pages needed to get 20,000 instances of
this graphic. While I'm doing this, I need to place a different name
overlaying each graphic.

What would be the best program to script this?

- Freehand
- Illustrator (is this scriptable?)
- InDesign (is this scriptable?)
- QuarkExpress

Where can I find some scripts to use as a starting point?

Thanks in advance.
