Datylon for Illustrator is an Adobe Illustrator plugin that adds a professional charting and data visualization workflow inside Illustrator. It provides 130+ chart templates across 14 categories, extensive styling controls for every chart element, and integrated data management for xls, xlsx, and csv files organized in workbooks and sheets. Designers can build on‑brand, reusable chart templates that update instantly when data changes, and they can export templates for automated reporting via Datylon’s web app and Report Server API to render charts/pages/reports as SVG, PNG, or PDF.
