Integrating excel data into Adobe Illustrator
As I designer I'd love to see how this works, if you have any tips or advice? Though I was pleasantly suprised by Excel's formatting of graphs, it would be good to have the flexibility to edit in illustrator as vector-based output
RE: Integrating excel data into Adobe Illustrator
Hi James
Thanks for getting in touch. As good as this feature sounds, it's nowhere near as integrated as you would hope. You can export an Excel chart as PDF then embed in Illustrator, which can refresh dynamically, or copy and paste the table data into the Illustrator table.
That's pretty much the limit of the options. The data is best prepared in Excel, then pasted into Illustrator for maximum formatting options.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
