Looking for suggestions

[elentz]

I have a small company and we send quotes by email to our customers.  Some of our products have a feature list of over 100 things that it does.  Handing a brochure that shows everything sometimes produces a "Deer in Headlights" reaction.  What I am looking for is a system (open source) that will let me list all of those features with an explanation (100 words or less) and from a page select which features I want and create a PDF with just those features within it.  That way I can customize a brochure for a specific customer and tailor it to what I think will make them want to purchase.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could use?

 

Thanks in Advance!

I would personally recommend a custom built solution, given your specific requirements, but there again, I would have a vested interest in that recommendation.

You could do a form with checkboxes next to each feature.  Submitting the form would return a web page populated with only those features you checked.  Then simply save the web page as a pdf (built into print function on a mac but can be done on win with a pdf-maker utility.

 

This approach would have the added benefit of being able to create a url that could be entered to call up the same feature-specific page on your site.  The various features would be in the url as parameters like http://www.mystore.com/brochure.php?features=1_6_7_11.
