The Datasets into Layers

I am not sure what you are tying to do here. Normally with data driven graphic the template document is already a multilayer document where the contents of some of the artLayers and/or textLayers contents are controlled by the dataset. Each dataset creates a different multilayered document when exported. All of that can be done without scripting.

You could use a script to check and correct the text layers of each psd after the batch export. That would be the easiest thing to do for someone not experienced with scripting.

It is possible to use Action Manager to apply a dataset, adjust the text, then save either as a psd or some other format.

But the setting up of the template document needs to be done manually.

Thanks for your reply. & Sorry if I have confused you,

I think I will explain the complete procedure of what currently we are following and you suggest us that which would a easy method to automate it.

• We receive a Translated Xlsx sheet that has a Translation of an ENGLISH text into 30 or more Languages.
• I need this data to get synch with my PSD text field, and create editable layers for all the languages.
• I also need these layersets to be named as per their respective languages.
• And then export those as jpgs (Like ABC_esLA.jpg here “ABC” stands for the file name, “esLA” stands for the language i.e. spanish )
