Looking for a way to create/edit a newsletter online, then be able to generate a customized PDF file

I am looking for a way to be able to customize a newsletter online, then be able to export/generate a PDF file from that newsletter.
Basically this is for a friend that is a real estate agent, and currently she is creating the newsletters in MS Publisher. I'm hoping to find a way to be able to allow her to login to a secure area of her webpage(that part isn't a problem) but then be able to create/customize a monthly newsletter that needs to be customizable.
For example, the August Newsletter will be 2-sided, and most of the newsletter will be the same, but she needs to be able to have a newsletter for different apartment buildings so the customers can just go to their building link/area on the webpage and be able to download that month's custom PDF file that has a portion of the main newsletter that is a table/list of properties for that specific location.  The data will be stored in a database.
After writing the above, I can probably create a front-end to the database so she can enter everything that way, but I still need a way for her to generate the customized PDFs after she is done with that month's data.
I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
John

I think you will have to do the latter.  While you are thinking about writing the PDF file, don't overlook fpdf (google it)....

  • Looking for a way to create Contact Sheets in InDesign CS5..

    I am looking for an easy way to make a Contact Sheet template in InDesign CS5, I am wondering can it be done using Live Captions? What I essentially want to do is create a page with a grid, say 3 across 3 down, and be able to simply import the photos, and have the photo's name appear below it.
    Thanks in advance for your reply,

  • Looking for a way to create a liquid stream?

    I am trying to make it look like there is a liquid move through a bunch of pipes but am having trouble finding a way to make it move on a path maybe?  I thought i have seen something about a motion path but I'm not sure that's what I'm trying to do.  Is there an effect that I could use or a way to move an effect along a specific path to make this illusion?
    Thanks.

    Foam is intended to use greyscale images. Alpha map is just another term for it. Bogiesan and the rest of us are all talking about the same thing.
    There is actually quite a bit of information here. You should read up on it. It should explain a lot.

    How do I make an Alpha path in AE -- with grey scale sides -- say, in the shape of a snake (or vein)? Or do you know of a better AE tool to create blood flows through tubes?
    Foam is a pretty good tool for creating blood flow through tubes if you're wanting to see the individual blood cells.
    There are several ways to make the shape.
    One would be to use Vegas on a mask and set the number to 1 and set the mid point opacity to half and the color to white or black.
    Another would be to create a black to white gradient ramp and use the Puppet Tool on it.

    at what moment does the credit in the overpayment is used to pay the SA's?. for example if it is at bill completion then my guess is that there is a bill completion algorithm which creates the refund adjustment when all the SA's are paid, so probably you need to plug it out, I don't think there is any base process that creates the refund automatically(please correct me if I am wrong)

  • Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?

    Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?
    The requirement is - User should be able to enter comments in a edit box for a section in a dashboard and save it. For other users, this should show up as a non-editable comment while for the user it should be editable box.
    Example: In a report in a section on dashboard for Supplier Trends, a Purchase Manager should enter the commments -" This weeks trends show no issues. Next week watch out for supplier X". For everyone other than him, this should show up as comments.
    1. Is there a way to achieve this functionality?
    2. Can this be achived using write back option?
    3. Or will this require java scripting?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you want to have a better experience of your music files, how about just use WMP to enjoy all the songs, you can
    sort by Artists or Album or whatever you like. There, you can have a better and easier way to organize all your music
    files.
    For Windows Explorer, did you mean
    medium size icons in artist, while list icon in albums, you can just organize as you want like the following screenshot.
    If I'm missing something, please free contact me.

  • Looking for a Programmer to Create A YouTube "Embed" Plug In

    Hello everyone,
    I am Looking for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In based on the free YouTube API.
    The purpose of this is to be able to easily embed YouTube Video's within Acrobat documents so that It can stream the content into the PDF file.
    Many have suggested to download the content and embed it, but doing so will violate the user agreement with YouTube plus it would increase the size of the PDF file consideribly.
    If there are any Programmers out there that would be interested in taking this project on please let me know. I believe there is a real need for this tool which people would really like to have.
    The programming goals for the project would be as follows:
    1. Take the Free YouTube API and create a plug in for Acrobat that would allow you to easily embed content into any PDF.
    2. The "Embed Plug-In" Would essentially allow you to just copy and past the embed codes from YouTube, Hulu, or any other web source that provides an "Embed Code" so that the content can easily be placed within the PDF.  This embeded content could be videos, audio, playlist systems, ads, etc.. "anything with embed codes."
    3. You would be able to select an area of the PDF for the placement, paste the code and then be able to resize the content window. i.e. for YouTube Files.
    The Market for this is as follows:
    - Web Based Magazines, or Flash Magazines that were created with Indesign, Acrobat then Flash. They can easily then create interactive content, with ads and multimedia. Anyone cab be interactive publisher then, no need for Flash Programming Skills.
    - Educational Institutions that want to create lesson materials with Web Content.
    - Business's that wish to share media elements from the web within PDF presentations.
    If you need examples of how this might be used please contact me to discuss it further.
    Thanks for your assistance.
    Regards,

    Since I only found the plug in yesterday I've only played with it a little bit.
    First thoughts:
    It works.  It's easy to set up.  I followed the instructions and I had a link working to our promotional video on youtube in only a couple of minutes.
    Things I found:
    I am using layers extensively in my pdf and wanted the plug in window to show up on only one layer.  However as I mentioned before it doesn't do that so my workaround was to change the settings in the video to play in a floating window.  However the plugin window is still visible if you do this, so my workaround was to reduce it to essentially a dot on the page and hide it on something pale grey!  I created a button in InDesign and used that to fire the video.
    Security stuff:
    Obviously the pop up windows are somewhat frustrating but I see no way to get around them without doing what Joel suggested in his other blogs, which given the amount of users receiving my pdf and their varying competence levels with computers is not really an option.  My workaround for that was to include a note explaining what to expect and do when they did show up.
    For the future:
    See if Adobe would make this an option in InDesign and usable within it's layers section.  That would be awesome.  I haven't had a chance to check out the addin Joel mentioned that might help with this in Acrobat.  Have you?
    Thanks for the other tips on embeding html etc - always good to find new ways get around problems.

  • Looking for a way to broadcast a line in to the Airpot Express?

    Looking for a way to run line input into my macbook and broadcast it to the Airport Express to Play on my Stereo..

    It is discussed on the xfce forums but unfortunately that solution requires editing by hand. However it does seem relatively easy to automate. Writing a graphical program for those tasks is something you'd only have to do once.

  • Looking for a way to Export Still Image to iPhoto

    Hi I'm looking for a way to export a still image from iMovie 08 to iPhoto 08? The simple drag, help, web search etc doesn't seem to come up with an answer but it's been a long day.
    Thanks

    Find the still within an event clip, right mouse, select add still frame to project. Repeat for all the stills you want.
    In Finder under pictures, you should find files for all the stills you created. Import them into Iphoto and there you have it.
    There is probably an easier way but this is not too bad.

  • Looking for automated way to test print PnP printer after install then delete

    At times we test 20 to 30 printers in a day. I am looking for automated ways to increase the efficiency of this. I would like to simply have the printer install using PnP print a test page then delete itself after the test page or on removal. Are there any settings that can be changed on the computer to change the PnP process to make this possible. I am currently trying to learn and understand the Plug and play process so that I may find out how to get started. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I spent all day Googling and doing side by side comparisons of my old and new systems.
    My display is a Dell U2410. It has several presets, including sRGB and Adobe RGB. I've been using sRGB.
    On my OLD system, (Win XP, PsCS2, DwCS4) there seems to be no distinction between color managed and non color managed apps, even on this wide gamut display. I could capture (digital camera) in Adobe RGB, open and edit in PsCS2, save as .psd, convert to CMYK for print, or convert to sRGB for SFW. All images looked identical and they printed and displayed perfectly. I thought this was normal, and seemed logical. This also seems to be the source of my incorrect assumptions. I was trying to get my new machine to behave like my old one.
    So I get this new machine (Windows 7, PsCS5, DwCS5) and now (still in sRGB display mode) all color managed apps appear de-saturated. Non color managed apps are OK. If I switch the display to Adobe RGB, color managed apps are OK, but non color managed apps are way too saturated. From my investigation, I believe this is normal behavior on a wide gamut display. I've tried changing the Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution > Advanced settings > Color Management options, but to no avail. Either I'm missing something, or Windows 7 is doing color management differently.
    It seems my only option now is to use Adobe RGB display setting for Ps, etc. and switch to sRGB for Dw and non color managed apps. Or, have 2 separate files for print and web. I've Googled 'til my eyes are numb and still not sure I'm getting this. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
    Finally, I don't see an edit function here, so I can't remove my previous incorrect reply. Moderator, please feel free to do so.
    Thanks
