Component Generator

[preetigupta]

Hello,

I need to use a document generator with Alfresco. That is, a template to be pre filled dynamically with input data provided. We want output in rtf/doc format.
Please let me know which open source product will work best with Alfresco

Thanks and Regards

Hi, you can have an ODT template with variables. At the end, you can still transform the ODT into a Word document

Hi,

Thanks for helping.

But, I dont have any background on ODT templates. So, could you please explain in detail what I would require to do and how?

Also, while searching the web I came across Open Source Document generator JCOPIST/ freemarker. Do you have idea on these, how can they be leverage for achieving the functionality.

Thanks and Regards

I'm using JodReports (http://jodreports.sourceforge.net/)
Although it is integrated as a component inside Alfresco, I had to download the source code and make some forks in order to get it work perfectly on Alfresco 3.1, and to suit my needs.
The website is quite clear, and will provide you with valuable examples

hope this helps
