CompExporter VD batch-exports artwork variants from Adobe\u00ae Illustrator\u00ae. Put simple category:value tags in your top-level layer names, and the script exports every combination of those variations. Use it for logo packages, greeting cards, packaging variants and other artwork with several layouts, colors or themes.<\/p>\n

Its actions let you:<\/p>\n The validation report lists managed layers, parse errors and the number of export combinations. It is written beside the saved Adobe\u00ae Illustrator\u00ae document. Validate before exporting, especially when working with several categories.<\/p>\n CompExporter restores managed layers to their original visibility after the run, including if a run fails or is interrupted.
