If you plan to publish PDFs to the Internet then Scribus is fine that you can use to place links to Amazon and other websites in addition to embedding some Javascript in the PDF documents. However, if you'd like to have your stuff in HTML (generated by a PHP generated CMS presumably) then I would suggest that you use a CMS which is PHP5 compliant as php.net is going to drop support for versions below 5.0 end of this year. I don't think Joomla is compliant. Further, you need to use a tool that generates clean HTML/XHTML with appropriate standards-based CSS to increase your chances of being found in search engine results. I would suggest that you use DreamWeaver (which generates clean HTML) and either, preferably, hand-code CSS or use a third-party CSS editor (westciv people for example). As a last resort, you can use DreamWeaver's own CSS facilities which are pretty good as well. In that case, I would suggest that you use DreamWeaver Page Templates to easily enter your content. -Asif
