First thanks for this lib. Using docx as a template is an awesome smart thing to do, great you made this stuff!
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.
Once again: This is an awesome module!
Docxtemplater has been a spectacular library to use for generating documents from custom templates. It contains a wide array of features, including styling with HTML, images, and merging multiple documents together, all of which we use extensively. Edgar has been quick to respond to any concerns or usecases that we wanted to support, and we appreciate all the work that he has done for this library. We greatly advocate the use of his library, for it is a awesome library backed by an awesome developer!
Thanks for your time and effort, I really appreciate it :)
I can highly recommend docxtemplater as a library for generating documents from custom templates. It is easily extendible, very fast and easy to use. Edgar has been extremely helpful and always available to get the most of the library. One of the best support experience I have ever made!
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
