Question
populate an Indesign template from DB and convert it to PDF on a spot!!!
Greetings,
Is there a way to populate an Indesign template file (which is stored in a server) with a data that comes from a database, then it converts it to PDF on a spot by clicking a link on a website?
Ive been doing some research. I found a plug-in for Indesign called easycatalog which enables indesign to get data from a database. But what im trying to do is to have a link on a website where people can view a pdf file, but once clicked, the pdf is updated on a spot.
I found also something called fdf that get data from databse to a pdf file. But I don't know which fits better for my problem.
Please help!!!!
Thanks
