Well, we have a custom build ordersystem, build by one of my colleguas. the system creates orders, invoices, work orders and letters of content. This systems creates csv or txt files when printing one of these forms. these text files are formated to print on company paper. Now to backup these forms and to cut back on paper use we would like these forms to be in pdf format so that if we need to print them we can but also have them stored on the network.

Now the idea we have is to have some kind of 'watch' directory where the exported csv/txt files are stored/printed to. Then a script can pick it up, merge the text file with a logo form (already in pdf) and move it to a directory on the network.

the server the program runs on is suse linux enterprise 11
