Generating multiple PDF documents from spreadsheet and images

Question

I am looking for a free or low cost product that i can use to quickly create multiple PDF documents populated with text and images from a spreadsheet.

I have a background image which will the a common asset between all documents, a folder of images which have been numbered, and a spreadsheet with text i would like to populate the document with.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction so i can quickly generate documents ready for printing.

EDIT: Each document will have a common background. Each document will also have 1 image, and around 5-10 few short pieces of text which will be unique to each document.

I currently run Windows 10, but i have access to virtual machines running any free operating system, such as linux. I also have a WAMP web server if that helps.

Answer 1

If a programmatic solution is acceptable, Essential PDF and Essential XlsIO can be used to import content from Excel and generate PDF documents.

You need to write code (C# or any .NET language) to extract the data from the Excel file (XlsIO is used for this: sample code) and then creating the PDF documents by inserting the content (sample code).

The whole suite of controls is available for free (commercial applications also) through the community license program if you qualify. The community license is the full product with no limitations or watermarks.

Note: I work for Syncfusion.
