Create a counter

You can create documents with variable data without using a data source. You can simply use a counter in combination with static text and the print date and print time. You can use the counter in text frames and barcode frames.

1. Click [Variable data] - [New counter].

2. In the [Start at] box, enter the number you want to start with.

3. In the [Increment] box, enter the incremental value for the counter.

4. Enter the number of rows.

   This setting defines the number of variable data documents that will be created using this counter.

5. Configure the format of the counter.

   Enter the number of digits and specify the padding character. You cannot use a TAB as padding character. The preview displays how the counter is formatted.

6. Click [OK].
