Placing variable
elements on InDesign
CS3 pages
Darwin CoPilot Overview
After defining the fields for your Darwin job and creating rules, charts,
or barcodes, you use Darwin CoPilot to apply the variable content to
InDesign CS3 pages and save them as Darwin documents.
Darwin CoPilot consists of four panels: Variable Elements, AutoFit,
Darwin Preflight, and Frame Elements. You can access the Darwin
CoPilot panels from the InDesign CS3 Window menu.
Darwin CoPilot enables you to specify where to place variable data on
each page. You can place certain types of data in text boxes and other
types of data in image boxes. Text boxes can hold Darwin fields
(containing text, numbers, dates, or times), color rules, text rules, and
non-variable (fixed) text. Image boxes can hold image rules and charts.
Darwin CoPilot also enables you to preview your pages on the screen to
see how they will look when printed with the varaible data.
