Doxey

Document Automation

Doxey creates PDF, Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice documents by merging your data into your templates while retaining the formatting.

Simple and clean templates

Doxey comes with a simple yet powerful template language that we have designed from scratch to keep your templates simple and clean.

Editing templates is easy

Templates are just Google Docs, Word or LibreOffice documents. Users can edit them with the tools they know and love.

Developers first

Doxey has been created from developers for developers. The hand-crafted online documentation will help you to get up and running quickly.

Pixel-perfect layout with LibreOffice

LibreOffice is a free office suite that is available for various operating systems. It has many advanced formatting capabilities that cannot be found in Google Docs like using background images, rotated text, sophisticated tables and more.

No matter if you are generating LibreOffce or PDF documents from your template - your layout will be preserved 100%.

        }
    ] 
}

Native support for MS Word

With Doxey you can create both native Word or PDF documents from your Word templates.

When creating Word documents, all layout details will be preserved as you can see in this example that we have taken from the Word template library.

As Word does not provide native PDF support we will do the conversion for you. The resulting document may not preserve all layout details and fonts, but it should be quite close.

{
    "name" : "Cora Nilson", 
    "presenter" : "Daniel Florey", 
    "date" : "2019-09-23T18:25:00.000Z" 
}

Catalog merge with Google Docs

Start right away without installing any software by creating templates with Google Docs in your web browser. We will export your template from Google Docs in OpenDocument format to merge the data and generate the PDF.

This example shows how you can build a large document like a catalog by merging a large dataset into a simple template that contains nested loops to create sections that contain a list of images.

It also features advanced image rendering by scaling all images to the same height while maintaing the aspect-ratio.

Create fillable PDF documents

With LibreOffice you can create templates with various form fields that will then be converted to fillable PDF documents.

When generating PDF documents with Doxey from your LibreOffice template you can create fillable PDF documents, even with pre-populated values!

Note: If you just want to fill out a given fillable PDF document, check out Ultradox instead.

    "givenName" : "Cora", 
    "familyName" : "Nilson", 
    "addressLine1" : "Brahmsalle", 
    "addressLine2" : "Telemannstrasse", 
    "zip" : "20144",
    "city" : "Hamburg",
    "country" : "Germany", 
    "gender" : "Female",
    "dobMonth" : "March",
    "dobDay" : 23,
    "dobYear" : 1970
}

Debugging made easy

You can merge your documents in debug mode to get detailed embedded error messages if something is not working as expected.
