Hi all,
is there someone with good Latex customisation knowledge? If so perhaps you can help me with this problem.
At the moment we make our leaflets with Scribus. While this is good if one person is working on the leaflets, it becomes difficult if more people are working on the leaflets with different versions of scribus (you cannot edit it after someone with a never version edited the file).
Now we also start putting all our leaflets online, e.g.: http://www.fsfeurope.org/documents/leaflets/leaflet-SELF-about.en.html
I want to generate leaflets (perhaps even autogenerate them) looking like our current Scribus leaflets, e.g.: http://download.fsfeurope.org/leaflets/leaflet-SELF-about-en-G-A.pdf + leaflets without the graphics so we can print them on our preprinted paper: http://download.fsfeurope.org/leaflets/leaflet-SELF-about-en-0-A.pdf
The metrics of the version with abstract are here: http://www.difficulties.de/tmp/info-flyer-metrics.txt
I thought that Latex might be a good solution here.
Someone here who want to help with this task? Or can you give some pointers?
Best wishes, Matthias

Yes, this would be the right choice.

I would suggest to write a style file with all the different layouts as option. So it is easy to switch the layout. And with minipages it should be no problem to position the contents on the right place. The font could be a problem as I don't have much experience in intergrating custom fonts to Latex.
I am willing to help with this stuff.
Best wishes, Matthias
