I wrote an open source application that can transfer data from a FileMaker Pro database to an Adobe InDesign document. It is called MLS DataBase Publisher (DBP) and it can also handle pictures and even modify them 'on the fly' using Photoshop. If you want to produce database driven publications like catalogs, brochures, mail merges, address books, etc. DBP can be used to automate the process and prevent double data entry. DBP was written with AppleScript Studio on Mac OS X. Application, source code and more info is available at <http://www.warande.net/~pneerin/>

happy database publishing!
