Java Mail Merge style TEMPLATES

Docmosis templates allow you to visually layout and format a document.

Docmosis templates are just regular documents, created using Microsoft Word or LibreOffice, with added placeholders for any dynamic content much like Mail Merge.

The Java Mail Merge process is simple:

  1. Your Java application passes data to Docmosis.
  2. Docmosis merges the data with your template, to produce the finished document.
  3. Docmosis delivers the document to the specified destinations.

The power of Docmosis comes from the combination of:

  • our simple plain-text templating placeholders (eg: <<name>>), plus
  • your templates inherit the powerful features of the editors used to create them.

Docmosis allows you to:

  • Develop and maintain documents faster than an “all code” solution.
  • Layout your documents visually using editors you already know.
  • Output in two or more formats – without writing any extra code.
  • Easily collaborate on document design with Business Teams and End Users
