Genereate Word Document with dynamic content

There are many ways to generate a Word document with the ivy ecosystem:

1. RTF Document generation with WebPages

RTF Document generation with WebPages removed in Axon Ivy 9.3!

WebPage elements in your Process can be linked with an RTF document that is stored in the webContent folder. This document can be easily designed with MS Word or any office tool you like and must be stored in *.RTF format. This document can contain ivy macro expressions (JSP like). The expressions will be evaluated at runtime and can for instance display your process data in a serial letter.

2. Office Document generation with Aspose Aspose lets you programatically create office documents. A licensed version is packed with ivyAddOns. The RichDialogDemos project which is shipped with the Designer [designer]/applications/samples/RichDialogDemos shows a usage example. The relevant Demo is called "Document Factory"

3. PDF/DOC/HTML generation with BIRT A community extension allows generation of documents with BIRT. The extension as well as the reporting technology is open source. The project is hosted on github.

4. Office Document generation with Apache POI An open source library to read and create office documents: POI Project website.

5. JSF Datatable export with Primefaces Datatables in Html Dialogs can be exported to Word,PDF or Excel Documents with the Primefaces DataExporter. Apache POI is working behind the scene to do that job.
