Illustrator already has basic data merge support which you should investigate first.
 
Here are a couple (free/paid) tutorial videos:

    So you want to combine imposition and data merge, and the imposition part is giving the trouble? That does not seem to be how Illustrator is made to work.

    So what did you already try?

    There is the variable function in Illustrator and there is the VariableImporter script to go with it.

    And if those two can do what you need, you might want to consider using InDesign's data merge.

     

    In order to help you better: please post your exact needs and an example of your design, so we don't have to watch lengthy tutorials. Thank you.

      So you need QR codes and what else?

       

      The more details you provide, the better and faster the help. Since you know how variables work: what have you already tried and what exactly did not work? The QR codes can't work - I'm not quite sure if there's a solution to make them work using the variable importer script. https://prepression.blogspot.com/2015/03/illustrator-introducing.html

       

      You might want to take a look at InDesign's Data Merge where variable QR codes are possible.
