From orbeon form to docx with formatted elements

[Terezia]

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way how to convert form output into docx
or rtf format. In case that answers in forms are formatted (ex: using bold
style or different type of font or colour)?

I am using Orbeon version 2019.2 CE. Output of forms is xml.


Thanks for your help.

Terezia

Hi Terezia,

Exporting to the Word format isn't currently supported, however we have a
request for enhancement for this (see 1st link below), and I added a +1 from
you. I am not sure if you have seen this already, but an alternative might
be to generate a PDF instead of a Word document (see 2nd link below).

I hope this helps,

‑Alex

Hi Alessandro,

Pdf format is not suitable for my case, because I need to have possibility of editing generated file.

thanks for your answer I will try to find another way.

Hi Terezia,

I understand, so it looks like you would really need issue #2643 to be
implemented. In the meantime, I hope you will still find some work around.
