    Tutorial for automating document creation?

    mrdior

      Hi. I've finally weaved my way here from the PS and AI forums. I've been told InDesign is the best CS tool to use to auto-generate a series of personalized gift certificates from a data file.

       

      If I have a gift certificate blank created in AI and a CSV file populated with names, how do I go about reading in the CSV file and generating 1 PDF file per name (or record in the CSV file)? Is there a tutorial or reference anyone can point me at to get me up to speed asap??

       

      Thanks!!
