Greetings,

I wonder if anyone can help and has an idea how to make it happen.

We have for a example 500 signs and we have to insert a different QR code file in a specific corner of all of 500 sings.

Is there a way to do it?

Will be grateful to all the ideas how to implement it.

I would suggest that this would be better set up in InDesign which has pages rather than artboards and Master Pages that can control content on each document page. What you are trying to do would also probably need a script to accomplish so the InDesign Scripting Forum InDesign Scripting would, I think, be the best place to seek out a solution to your needs.

Thanks Bill, I don't know InDesign as well as AI but thank you for you input.

I will research that option also.

I wonder if i can use variables for this project.

[ryan_edwards]

yes I would use variable data, or write a script that loops thru a collection of qr codes/files to insert to.

variable data is the easiest method though

Thanks Ryan.

I finally figured it out.

Thank you all for your help.

Also here is a link to a description how to do it in case someone needs.

If you are generating a QR code from your variable data, you may be interested in using this super-advanced technique.
