Re: Variable Data Printing/Exporting
The information given by Mike is correct and it is the best way to do it. However you can do it in Xara if you have some sort of number generator or have a look at this site as I have used this quite a lot in a previous job: http://www.raffleprinter.com/Printing.aspx (use explorer 7 for this site). The way to do it Design Pro 7 and above is to set up a page size for you printed ticket or use multiples if your are doing your own printing and use "Live Copies" with a blank linked text box for the numbering to create your template then with your numbers which are generated in Excel or something like that paste in your data. The text box size must be the right size to fit your font size and I would do the numbering from 001,002,003........
This method is still only a work around but for a small number of tickets works fine. I still do a small amount of tickets for the local community shows and like Mike I use PagePlus using PDF files made in Design Pro and it works so easily.
Design is thinking made visual.
