What each one is
exportPDF for CorelDRAW is a VBA macro that creates print-ready PDFs from a template and a CSV file, one per row. Its site describes a Group Mode that duplicates size groups on one page, graphic numbers scaled per size, sponsor logos, rotated text, cutting contours, and support for CorelDRAW X6 and later. It is installed remotely by the author and works offline.
AJILE 2026 is a CorelDRAW add-on built for jersey and sportswear printers. It takes rosters pasted from Excel or CSV, builds front, back, shorts and sleeve pieces per player, fits names per size, makes size charts and stickers, and exports JPG files sorted by size or category. It also makes photo ID cards with the PI module.
