I regularly have to make PDF-documents based upon some templates and configuration or data files.
As templating engine I use Template Toolkit, as lay-out engine I use LaTeX. My Perl script reads the configuration file, collects the data (from spreadsheets, text files or a database), the templating engine combines data and template and produces a LaTeX file that gets compiled into a PDF-file thanks to the LaTeX processor.
