The best way to automate adding text to an image and formatting for printing?
Here I have:
Quarter sheet of leaflets (4 per page) in PSD or JPG format Text file with one text entry per line.
What I want to do:
Print 100 flyers (on 25 sheets of paper) Somehow automate the process of adding text to an image, either using some scripting language or from an automated Photoshop task. Then format the pages for printing to generate a 25-page PDF file or create four at a time and send them to the printer page by page.
Does anyone have any experience with something similar or have any recommendations on how I should go about doing this?
Thank you for your help!

You can use Microsoft Word automation to create a text file with the correct text and image, and then just print it out. This would be one simple solution, you can implement the whole thing as a word macro (VBA).
A more complex solution would be to use VB6 or .net to print text and image on the form and then print the form.
You can write a script that will generate an html page with an image and text and then print the html using the browser.
