Hello,

At work we create bucket loads of test documents and I am looking for ways
to reduce the amount of work spent on doing revision bumping and changing
minor things. Currently we simply use Microsoft Word. So if I have to bump a
revision number, i typically use a macro to do a search and replace and I
execute it on each document. Then I have to add stuff to the revision
history. Plus some other steps. All in all, I should have to manually do
this!

I am looking for an Open Source CMS that has the capability of exporting
documents to a PDF format. So it can be a web based CMS where I fill out
forms and such, as long as I have the option to convert. Note that it needs
to be somewhat flexible on this. I need to be able to design the cover page
layout, the header, and the footer. So simply saying print page to PDF will
not do.

Ideally I would like to be able to do batch jobs like global search and
replace, preferably something with regexp capabilities. Also it would be
nice if one content portion could be divided into two printed documents.

It would be nice to some how have documents refer to other documents.
Example, a test procedure would say: "This test procedure executes this test
case." If the test case name changes, then that field is updated as it would
print the test case name.

Any suggestions?
