The information to build our ads is starting to come in digitally. we would like to use some automation to change the prices and store logo's  

Has anyone used creator server?

or have some ad creation automation that works?

Let’s consider a less interactive example. Many real estate companies and car dealers produce daily or weekly ads that are in a very rigid format; usually a grid of photographs with associated description and pricing information in a set format. This grid, in turn, is placed on a background image or template that does not change from day to day.

Such ads are excellent candidates for automation. Since the pictures, descriptions, and prices are, in all likelihood, stored in a database anyway, no user interaction is needed once the database data becomes available.

In this instance, the client module would not interact with the user at all; it would merely extract the information from the database, have Creator Server open the proper template, populate the ad with the database data, and have Creator Server export the output directly to EPS, PDF, or whatever other form was required. This could be done on command, or completely automated to run at a particular time every day.

If customization of the final output was desirable, the automated process could produce a native Creator document as its output, and the user could modify it as desired, using the MultiAd Creator desktop application.
