New That shouldn't be horribly bad
The API is not very extensive. Not only that, it looks like you can use the dll to trigger the photoshop and typesetting stuff using the void scEndOfJob(SCFILEINFO*) function. It looks like something you could hack out in C or C++ in a couple of hours, though that might depend on how the photoshop macro works. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about how photoshop can be automated, so I can't comment on what would be involved in getting that fired up.

Is the typesetting program TeX based?

New Photoshop piece is already taken care of
And I've already done enough the the typesetting piece (not LaTex) to be sure it is doable. I just need to work through the Softcopy automation.
