Save a template for data-driven graphics
When you define variables in an Illustrator document, you are creating a template for data-driven graphics. You can
save the template in SVG
format for use with other Adobe products, such as Adobe® Graphics Server and Adobe®
GoLive®. For example, a GoLive user can place an SVG template in a page layout, bind its variables to a database using
dynamic links, and then use Adobe Graphics Server to generate iterations of the artwork. Likewise, a developer
working with Adobe Graphics Server can bind the variables in the SVG file directly to a database or another data
source.
1 Choose File > Save As, enter a file name, select SVG as the file format, and click Save.
2 Click More Options, and select Include Adobe Graphics Server Data. This option includes all information needed
for variable substitution in the SVG file.
3 Click OK.
