You can turn an Artistic text or a Paragraph text frame into a variable field so the users can input their own text in your web-to-print template.

A sample CDR file can be downloaded from your Sample Stationery catalog (go to Summary page).

Example

To turn a text frame into a variable field you need to select the text frame, open Object Manager (Window/Dockers/Object Manager) and rename the object.

You have two options for renaming the object.

Option 1

/

Renaming the object to # will instruct the system to take an input field name from the text inside the frame.

/

/

/

/

If the text inside the paragraph frame is “Full Name”, the system will take that text as the name for the input field in the input form.

Option 2

/

You can also manualy set the input field name by typing it as the object’s name inside Object Manager in CorelDRAW.

/

/

/

The name you set to the object inside Object Manager will show up as the name of the input field in the input form.

/

Note: You can always change the input field names from Field Editor on the site after you have uploaded the template. Read more about it here.
