I can't quite conclude what documents you are trying to manage. What
formats will they be? Assuming PDF's, you should be able to manage,
generate, and distribute documents among your colleagues in a Web-based
fashion. Have a look at Mambo server where documents in PDF generation can
be customised. Some PDF enhancements can also be strapped on top of CMS's
such as PHP-Nuke, or WordPress, or Drupal though it involves a bit of
'stitching'. What I have in mind here is a corporate intranet where a pool
of documents exists. I don't know any of the programs you mentioned above,
so I can't think of of the whole 'shebang' can be integrated seamlessly.
Best wishes,
Roy
