[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMREPORTS-10) Dynamic reporting from customer template

[George Gastaldi (JIRA)]

George Gastaldi commented on SEAMREPORTS-10:
--------------------------------------------

I have used JODConverter library some time ago, and it is really useful. The only thing I regret is the need of running open office as a service. Maybe an alternative should be generating Microsoft Word´s DOCX format, as they are a zipped XML.

> Would be nice to see a solution for dynamic reporting using customer templates. Many times customers give us a template (OpenOffice or Word document), and we are supposed to produce reports based on them, maybe adding some other images, signature etc.
> So I suggest a Seam Report API able to read a customer template (odt etc), manipulate this document (set fields, adding table rows, adding images, etc) and produce PDF. For example an API that hides all the complexity of UNO (http://udk.openoffice.org/) or some other tool for document manipulation.
> The key part is existent document manipulation.
