Howdy, I have something that I've been doing with latex and I was wondering if scribus might be better to the job. We have an online application here where students submit information in a web page. The information is stored in a database and when the secretaries want it, a script pulls the info from a database, does some search and replace on a latex template, compiles the latex document and spits out a pdf for printing.
Now for my silly question: Is it possible to create a template in scribus and with scripts fill in the info for the template and produce a pdf file? I guess this would require running scribus in a batch mode with no user interaction. Is this possible? I'm new to scribus, so I hope you can be patient with me. -- ---------------------------------------------------------- | /"\ john harrold | \ / ASCII ribbon campaign jmh at member.fsf.org | X against HTML mail the most useful idiot | / \ ---------------------------------------------------------- What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? --Gandhi ---------------------------------------------------------- gpg --keyserver keys.indymedia.org --recv-key F65A739E ---------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
