I'm currently working in personalised product design, I get a document with the customers name or date ect and I insert the information into the illustrator file and save it out as a pdf.

I've managed to find ways and create actions in all my other areas of work to speed everything up.

The thing that takes me the longest is getting a super long or really short name to personalise a product with.

I was wondering if you knew of a way where I could just paste in someones name, then the text resizes itself to fit. so like creating a fixed width/height for a design, then whatever name i paste in, it goes to that width?

thanks
