[Scribus] scribus + bash

[Karl Sinn]

Hi,

This looks like a perfect job for OpenOffice.

You have your invoice-information in a database.
Make the invoice-template, connect the Database, put in the fields you wish, 
and print all your 1000 letters in one go.

What's the reason that you can not do like this?
