merging document with openoffice from flex (air)

Question

Hello, i'm searching a method to merge some data from an air application to a template made with word (.doc).
I've search on the web for exemple, look at the open office API, but did'nt find anything. 1- do you think it's possible from air to make a document (pdf as possible) from a existing template in .doc ?
If not, i read that livecycle can do pdf from template (template in pdf, with xsd to do the relation beetween data and template) but do know a simple way to convert existing template in .doc to template in pdf?
Every clues will be welcome to help us.
Thanks !

Answer 1

It's possible to make a pdf document with AlivePDF but I don't think it's currently possible to open a .doc file, maybe a .docx since its basically a xml in a zip file.

I don't think a word document as a template would be a good choice, I would recommend using an image.
