I managed a project to sync a 300 page four-color print catalog (over
100,000 copies) and a web store based on a MS SQL db.
The requirements for commercial printing versus printing to a pc printer are
different. For instance, if you want to generate a version for a commercial
printer (like for a direct mail piece), you will need to generate using
high-resolution photos (around 266 ppi vs. 72 ppi for screen).
There are a few solutions for generating a print based catalog from a
database. The one I chose was to use Quark (www.quark.com) and Auto Price
(http://www.meadowsinfo.com/) because we had a look and feel for the print
catalog that could not be produced from a more automated process. But, if
you are looking for a more automated solution, you might want to look at
product called LinkUp! or Xdata (there is another highly automated package,
but I don't remember the name - I could find it if you wanted).
Please let me know if you need more information.

Still think pdf is a great way to go, but maybe PDF Lib will suite you
better
