Question: Creating artboards at different sizes from CSV file

Question

Hello!

I'm not sure if this is even possible or if there's a way to create something like this but is it possible to create multiple artboards in an illustrator document at a variety of different sizes perhaps from a built-in illustrator tool or a script using a CSV file? similar to how you import variable data but using width and height data from an excel document to tell Illustrator the size to make the new artboard/artboards. I have little knowledge of how to script but if there is a way I could create one any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hope I've worded the question okay. Please and thank you for your help.

All the very best,

Ashley

Hi Ashley! You could also try the Multiple Artboard Generator for Adobe Illustrator script I created:https://iamharm.gumroad.com/l/MultipleArtboardsFromCSVThis script generates multiple artboards in Adobe Illustrator for you from a csv file. You specify the names for the artboards and their dimensions in the csv file and the script will do the rest. When you run the script there is a dialogue box that will allow you to specify the units (pt, px, mm, in) as well as the spacing between the artboards.I also made a video showing how it works: Multiple Artboard Generator for Adobe Illustrator
