Given that scribus is XMl is it not perhaps possible to fudge it like this:
Create the "Master Document", with some place holders in the text = something that will be unique = I am thinking along the lines of a seperate text box for *Name* *Address* Etc. Perhaps using *Name* as the place holder (would need to check that * isn't wildcard later!) Use some scripting to duplicate that master document 500 times within its self - not sure exactly the detail of how that would be done - but I'm sure someone here knows. Then write some script in something like perl that would do this, in pseudoscript: (I don't do perl etc sorry!) Open scribus sla file as a text document Open the database for n = 1 to 500 Read record 1 from the database Search from start for *placeholder1* Replace *placeholder1* with record from database relating to palceholder Search for *placeholder2* Replace *placeholder2* Next n Save sla file as sla file (new name?) Then you open the sla and convert to PDF? Just a thought?
