Why use docxtemplater?

Template-based approach

docxtemplater relies on a template-based approach, anyone that knows how to use Word can modify the look of the generated documents.

You can let your own customers edit the Word template!

Reports, contracts and documents

With docxtemplater, you write a document template using Word or Powerpoint and filling it with tags such as `{user}`. You can call docxtemplater using Node.JS or in the browser with Javascript. The engine will take your input data as JSON and generate a document with all fields replaced by their values.

Support < 48h

If you buy a license for docxtemplater paid software, you get support per email within 48 hours to help you for any problems you may have.

For the Entreprise Plan, the response time is of 24 hours.

The image can be loaded from base64, from the filesystem or from an http request.

Conditions

    {/}

Our current mutation testing score measured by Stryker Mutator is at 90%, which is very high and allows us to develop features without fearing of breaking existing usecases.

Without docxtemplater we would'nt have been able to ensure data consistency which is what our clients expect. Any time we had an issue, the support team was alway present to respond quickly.

The docxtemplater module helped our company a lot - it works well, even with a complex setup. I would personally like to thank the author, Edgar Hipp, for quick responses and fixes if they were needed. Edgar generally responded to our emails within a working day and fixed most bugs within 2 working days.

Dwight Kelly President at Apago Inc

We needed a comprehensive templating engine for Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint that allowed us to modify existing documents. Our requirements included updating styles for any element and replacing images & text placeholders. After testing all available commercial and open-source libraries we selected docxtemplater. The docxtemplater team has provided awesome support - answering our questions, fixing problems and continuously improving the product's capabilities. We couldn't ask for a better partner!

We've been working with Docxtemplater to automate Word document generation for our client projects. The ease of creating templates in a simple no-fuss tool has saved us significant time and complexity. The support team is outstanding. Docxtemplater is an invaluable tool, and we're extremely satisfied with both the product and the excellent support.

Paulo Castagnari CTO - Azume

One of our core features is business proposals generation, which previously we were able to by using the browser's native print for saving an HTML template as a PDF file, however with a very limited degree of customization.

Now, with docxtemplater we are able to offer our customers much more customized business proposals. All of that with an affordable price and unlimited document generation (differently than many other SDKs out there, which are extremely expensive and have really restrictive monthly requests limits).

If you're are looking for a file templating solution with easy implementation, good support and fair prices, look no further. 100% recommend docxtemplater.

We have been using docxtemplater to generate Word documents for quite a while and it has been a joy to use. Besides this awesome library, the support by the docxtemplater team is one of the best, replying to our question within the hour and even including a fix!

From a technolgy perspective the software is nice and lightweight, as it just needs to be brought in as a nodejs dependency. Most of the other solutions we looked at required loading a whole application stacking including base operating system, open office, plus bloated Java libraries, which I wasn't keen on.

Andrew Dravucz Senior Product Developer - Athennian

My team and I primarily work on building and maintaining document generation in Athennian. Thanks to all of docxtemplaters tools available, we are able to have document syntax thats easy to use for both internal and external users. Support has been very responsive and have been able to implement fixes within a day or two of bugs being reported. Would highly recommend docxtemplater for generating documents from templates!

Frequently asked questions

Is there a way to test the software or have a free trial ?

  1. If you're not sure if our product is right for you, we offer a two-week 100% money-back guarantee.
  2. We also have a live demo site with all modules enabled, so you can test out for example the HTML module and also upload your own templates.
  3. If you need more information, we can arrange a video call to show you what you need. Just send us an email.

What is the difference between plans and modules ?

Docxtemplater is an open-source project, which has basic features for templating. All paid features are available in modules, for example the HTML module allows inserting formatted text with bold, italic, links. All modules can be bought separately for a yearly fee. There are also three plans, the PRO plan, the ENTREPRISE plan and the PREMIUM plan that gives you access to a set of modules.

Does the license allow me to use the software in a SaaS product ?

Yes, the license model is suitable for Software as a Service businesses. As long as you are the entity running docxtemplater software, you can use the standard licenses.

If you need to redistribute the software by installing it on your customers servers, this will need a specific "appliance" license. The standard license does not allow to redistribute the software. The Appliance license plan is 4500€ per year for PRO and 10000€ per year for ENTREPRISE version. It allows you to distribute the modules contained in the PRO or ENTREPRISE module as part of your application. You are not allowed to resell the modules as is.

What kind of support will I get ?

For any purchase that you make (Plan or Module), you will get included support per email to answer all your questions. Usually, we respond in 24 hours, on business days. Bugfixes are also included in the support plan. For new features, it depends whether the feature makes sense for other customers and if the time required to implement it is not too long.

To have faster answers, please include the used modules, the template document, the generated document, or the expected output, your JSON data, and code relevant to the generation.

How will I get access to the modules ?

The modules are installed via npm, you'll have to run : npm install --save <secret-url> That url will be unique for your account.

The compiled files for browser usage are also bundled inside the package.

Can I convert the generated document to a PDF file ?

It is not possible to convert docx to PDF with docxtemplater, because docxtemplater is a templating engine and doesn’t know how to render a given document. We recommend to use libreoffice headless for a free tool or PDFTron for a paid alternative.
