Document template

0
Im currently looking for an easy way to create a pdf (template). However, the “document template” in mendix is a bit cumbersome. Does anyone know a good tool to create custom templates in an easy way?  → Preferably, a tool that can be integrated in mendix.

I would say that the PDF parser in the Appstore would probably be to your liking. If not, there are several others. Try J-Reports second.

There are options in the AppStore to use Word templates to generate PDF documents, but most of them require a license of some sort (i.e. they are not free). The only free one seems to be the Word Exporter module, but it doesn't list a PDF export.

Mendix doesn't offer alternatives, and the Idea to improve this area of Mendix was unfortuntaly shot down.

There are some in the appstore:

https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/109927/Daywize/TemplaterForMendix

https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/106722/JAM-IT/WordTemplater

https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/2971/Black-Opal-Systems/Word-Document-Generation-for-Mendix

https://appstore.home.mendix.com/link/app/2026/Appronto/Document-Generation-for-Mendix

Note though that these are all paid application. Some are very modest (like a one time fee) so do look around. All have their advantages and disadvantages.

By the way, is it possible to secure a pdf with a password?
