My graphic designer and I spent 78 minutes on the phone with Adobe yesterday to no avail. Here's the deal:
I work for an organization with a lot of sales people. I need to create flyers and other marketing materials for these people, and I need to personalize them with contact info, licensing info, etc. Right now the graphic designer has to do a lot of manual cut and pasting to achieve this, and as we hire more people this will become completely untenable (it almost is now). I want a plugin or something where I can populate everyone's info one time into a database, and have that somehow autopopulate into given fields, and somehow automatically create 30 iterations of the same flyer/brochure/whatever with different contact info. I can't make editable word docs/PDF overlays because they look like shit, and my field is so highly regulated that I can't have some moron salesperson messing with any of the ad copy.
I realize there are content management systems that do this, but they are expensive ($25k+, from what I've seen), and far more robust that what I need.
I've been banging my head into the wall on this for three days, so now I turn here.
