ONLYOFFICE Document Builder

ONLYOFFICE Document Builder allows you to build a document easily without the need to actually run a document processing editor. It also allows the developers to automate document building using the templates you create or inserting the data from some database of yours into a document or a set of documents. It has all the features of a common document editor but is lightweight and can be easily integrated into your document management system, CRM system, etc. using its JavaScript API.

Getting started

As any document is a composite object consisting of a tree of larger nodes (paragraphs and tables), where it is possible to insert smaller document elements (text runs, images, charts, shapes), ONLYOFFICE Document Builder allows to insert the content and format it to your liking quickly and easily.

ONLYOFFICE Document Builder is a C++ library used to create and edit Office Open XML format files (documents, spreadsheets and presentations) and save them to DOCX, XSLX, PPTX and PDF formats. You can integrate this library into your own presentation or use the provided executive binary wrapper for an easy start.

To launch ONLYOFFICE Document Builder binary run the following command: docbuilder.exe mydocument.docbuilder

Here docbuilder.exe is the name of ONLYOFFICE Document Builder (together with the path, if the command is run from the folder different from where the executive is placed) executive file (it will look like docbuilder.exe for Windows version, docbuilder_linux64 for Linux and docbuilder_mac64 for Mac OS), and the mydocument.docbuilder parameter is the name (again, together with the path, if needed) of the script file that will form the document contents.
