Overview

Generating PDF or DOCX documents is often a critical feature of business software applications. Laying out the documents and styling them to achieve a professional appearance can be challenging, especially if you have data that runs over multiple pages. This module allows you to add template based document generation to your Mendix app using Docmosis:

• Create templates, using the well-known WYSIWYG editors Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer.
• Add simple plain-text placeholders for all dynamic content.
• Insert: text/images/tables; conditionally add/remove content; loop over repeating data; perform calculations; format dates/numbers and more.
• Leverage these richly featured editors to control: page size/margins; header/footers; layout tables and images; control numbered/bullet lists; add page numbering or table of contents.
• Merge data from your Mendix application with the template to generate your document.
• Output the final documents as PDF, DOCX, ODT, TXT.
