Although I haven't looked at LaTex for some time (if ever), and it might
provide a very good solution, let me chime in to reinforce the earlier
reference to Tony G's description of Print Wizard, our product.
In a nutshell, you could program your UV to output HTML-like page
descriptions. In fact, much of it could be HTML, although there is some
HTML we don't support. Conversely, there are things we support that HTML
doesn't such as specifying:
* Generation of barcodes
* Paper size, orientation, etc.
* Precise placement of text and graphics on the page.
* Form overlays
* and more.
The output of Print Wizard can go to:
* Any Windows-supported printer
* Windows-only printers
* TIFF
* Fax
* PDF
When you generate a PDF, you can also:
* Create a table of contents
* Attach other documents
* Create internal or external links
* Certify the document
* Email it, interactively, semi-interactively, or automatically
We're talking $300.
