The link at the top of the post pointing to an example is no longer valid.


Currently, we are manually creating PDFs on a Windows PC using Excel.

I'd like to create a PDF template that I can use on a Unix server and populate the 
template from a database to create new PDFs for future editions of this report.  I do 
have Perl and DBI installed, though probably not the versions required by 
Template-Toolkit.


Thanks for your reply in advance,
Anna
