Question

"The filter cannot complete because of a bad parameter error"

I design badges and in an effort to speed things up I import data using variable libraries.

 

In the past this hasnt been a problem, However I seem to get en error after importing my CSV data.

 

I have no idea how to fix this.

 

Please help 🙂

Try if the Variable Importer script fixes that. https://github.com/Silly-V/Adobe-Illustrator/blob/master/Variable%20Importer/VariableImporter.jsx

 

Are you on a Mac? Mac Excel can do inexplicable things when exporting CSV.

There are several tutorials more or less advanced. You could check out this one: https://www.hypertransitory.com/blog/2015/04/26/illustrator-variable-data/
