i'm with eugene on this. data merge would work.

for argument's sake lets say that the newsletter is 8pp. produce the newsletter as you normally would EXCEPT for the parts which change which is where the data merge components would be placed, even if it is only on one page of the 8pp.

once the client approves the art, it is simply a case of rather than using the export to pdf in the file menu, use the export to pdf from the data merge flyout and export one record at a time. once exported to the desired PDF settings, you should find that one 8pp pdf is exported with one variety of customer's logo. it is simply a case of repeating this process through all the records.

it'd be nice if the entire file could be merged into the 20 separate 8pp pdfs in one hit but there is a bug in the data merge export to pdf which ought to allow this, so until it is fixed it is a case of exporting each record one at a time…
