PDF Product Catalogue Generator: Always-Current Catalogues, Zero Manual Effort

From Individual Datasheets to Full Catalogues

OneTimePIM's Catalogue Generator extends our automated datasheet capability into complete, multi-page product catalogues. Combine your PIM-generated product pages with custom-designed elements — cover pages, section dividers, back pages — into professional catalogues that update automatically.

How It Works

The Catalogue Generator brings together multiple components into a single, cohesive document:

📄 PIM-Generated Pages — Product datasheets created dynamically from your live product data

🎨 Custom Design Pages — Cover pages, section separators, and back pages created in InDesign or your design tool of choice

📑 Flexible Structure — Combine as many sections and pages as your catalogue requires

🔗 Channel-Linked — Each catalogue connects to a product channel, so content reflects your channel-specific data

Dynamic Organisation

Your catalogue structure stays as flexible as your business needs:

🔄 Reorder Sections — Move entire sections around as your catalogue structure evolves

📦 Reorder Products — Change product sequence within sections without rebuilding the catalogue

🏷️ Channel-Driven Content — Product information pulls from your linked channel, so regional or customer-specific catalogues use the right data automatically

Scheduled Updates: Set It and Forget It

Here's where the Catalogue Generator truly transforms your workflow:

⏱️ Scheduled Regeneration — Set your catalogue to rebuild automatically — daily, weekly, or on any schedule you choose

📁 Automatic Storage — Each fresh PDF saves directly to your Media Manager

🔗 Static Link Distribution — Share a permanent URL with customers. They always access the latest version, with no need to redistribute files.

The result: a comprehensive PDF catalogue that's always current, generated without manual intervention, and available to your customers at a consistent link.

Real-World Applications

Our clients use the Catalogue Generator for:

📚 Trade Catalogues — Full product ranges with professional cover pages and section organisation

🏢 Customer-Specific Catalogues — Channel-linked catalogues showing only the products and pricing relevant to each B2B customer

🌍 Regional Editions — Separate catalogues per market, each pulling from the appropriate language channel

📅 Seasonal Updates — Catalogues that refresh automatically as product availability and specifications change

Professional Results, Zero Manual Effort

Traditional catalogue production requires coordinating between PIM exports, design teams, and publishing workflows — with every product change triggering manual updates.

The Catalogue Generator eliminates this entirely:

🛡️ Always Accurate — Product data comes directly from your PIM, so specifications are never out of date

⚡ Instant Updates — Schedule daily regeneration and your catalogue reflects yesterday's changes by morning

🎨 Brand Consistency — Your custom-designed pages maintain visual standards while product pages generate automatically

💰 Resource Freedom — Redirect catalogue production time to more strategic work

Included With Your PIM

The Catalogue Generator is part of OneTimePIM's standard feature set — no premium add-on, no per-catalogue fees. Create as many catalogues as your business requires.

Ready to transform catalogue production from a quarterly project into an automated, always-current asset? The Catalogue Generator delivers professional results with zero ongoing effort.
