: Illustrator plug-in to create artboards from Excel file I am searching for Adobe Illustrator plug-in that can read data from a MS Excel file and create many artboards with text data from that

You can use a script to import data from csv file, but you would have to do some action-engineering when batch-processing the data to do your extra stuff. After data is imported, it's inside the AI document as variable datasets. You batch-process the datasets using the Batch command inside the Actions flyout menu. Then, the fun part is to rig an action to create your artboards. It can be done by pasting a rectangle and converting to artboards. You can also have a max of 100 artboards in a single document. Learn about the script here:

Ended up with built-in Illustrator functionality, that is described in details in this video.

Have checked, it works.
