Unfortunately it looks like it's usage promotes the use of proprietary formats. Does something similar exist for an open standard format like ODF? > I personally am not familiar with the inner working of the Scribus > format, hence, I cannot say whether it is possible to manipulate the > source files, either directly or via the CLI. > > Can anyone else shed some light on this? It looks like Scribus uses an XML format. It should be possible to manipulate the DOM and insert your values. Rendering out a PDF of the Scribus document would be the tricky part. I see this bug/request which looks like it has not been implemented: http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=238 So perhaps it's a show stopper unless you patch Scribus yourself. One idea: If you are exporting the Scribus files as PDFs for use server side, why not try exporting them as SVG instead. Then use those SVGs sever side to insert the values and render out PDFs. http://documentation.scribus.net/index.php/Vector_Export -- HTH
