Question
Here's what I have:
Quarter Sheet Flyer (4 per page) as a PSD or JPG Text file with one entry of text per line.
What I want to do:
Print out 100 flyers (on 25 pieces of paper) Somehow automate the process of adding the text to the image, either via some scripting language or a Photoshop automated task. Then format the pages to print, either to generate a 25 page PDF file or generate four at a time and send them to the printer page by page.
Anyone have any experience with something like this or have any recommendations on how I should go about doing this?
Thanks for your help!
Solution
You can use Microsoft Word automation to generate a word file with the correct text and image, and then just print it. This would be one of the simpler solutions, you can implement the entire thing as a word macro (VBA).
A more complex solution would be to use VB6 or .net to print the text and the image into the form and then print the form.
You can write a script that will generate an html page with the image and the text, and then print out the html using a browser.
