Question

Is it possible to make a page of different labels for a list of images, automatically?

I have a small business that makes custom design art kits. Most of my time is devoted to copy and pasting images into label templates in photoshop, and was wondering if there is any way I can get it done automaticaly? I'm looking for a program that will take a list of images and automatically copy and paste onto a label template. Is Illustrator capable of doing this? I haven't needed it so far and don't want to invest in it if it won't help.

I've attached two files to hopefully show what I'm trying to do. The first is the list of symbols I want to insert into the template for the labels, second file. At this time I'm copying and pasting each and would like to automate it.

You may also take a deeper look at Illustrator variables (see Variables palette).

 

Probably you will need some assistance to understand the concept.

Thanks Kurt,

I'm in the process of upgrading from the Photoshop and Acrobat plans to the All Apps plan. Once Adobe gets that straightened out, I'll need to check out both Illustrator and InDesign. I may be back with more questions if I ever get them.

It seems you are using a word or excel list. This is best done in InDesign using  InDesign's Data Merge feature.

Actually this is a list I've made up in Photoshop, from a PDF or Tiff file.

So it's just those texts and you want to keep the formatting?

 

It would be necessary youtell us exactly what you have and thenexactly what you expect to get from it.
