[Scribus] automatic form generation using scribus

[John Harrold]

Howdy,

I have something that I've been doing with latex and I was wondering if
scribus might be better to the job. We have an online application here
where students submit information in a web page. The information is stored
in a database and when the secretaries want it, a script pulls the info
from a database, does some search and replace on a latex template, compiles
the latex document and spits out a pdf for printing. 

Now for my silly question: Is it possible to create a template in scribus
and with scripts fill in the info for the template and produce a pdf file?

I guess this would require running scribus in a batch mode with no user
interaction. Is this possible?

I'm new to scribus, so I hope you can be patient with me.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans,

 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
