This is more of a convenience feature than a necessity, but here goes.You can solve this using scripting.
I plan to personalize copies of an ebook in pdf format by putting the
string:
"This copy prepared for Joe Smith" on the page, perhaps in a footer.
This means I have to recompile the book for each separate customer. It
would save a minute if I could just pass a named string to pdfetex in
the same way one passes a mode to the program. I am looking for
something like:
texexec --mode=ebook --string="Joe Smith" mybook.tex
...and then have a way to pick up that string in the TeX file and use
it.
All this does is save me from editing the file in every instance. If
it is too big a deal forget it.
In your TeX file:
...\input{name}...
On the command line (in Windows): put then names in names.txt, then:
for /f %i in (names.txt) do @echo %i > name.tex && texexec --pdf foo.tex && ren foo.pdf "%i.pdf"
In the Bourne shell:
for i in `cat names.txt`; do echo $i > name.tex; texexec --pdf foo.tex; mv foo.pdf "$i.pdf"; done
