Generate a Word Document out of Word Template on Server Side (with out using Silver light)
I know today OOTB we have couple of ways generate the document from Word Template.
1. using CreateandMergeDocument feature using Silverlight.
2. using Docx4J to create a document from work template and return the URL. (without silver light)
I am looking toward the option 2 but mainly not the URL just the content after populating the data into the template and return as pvzStream or HTLM so that i can convert that and attach it to the case than the URL.

Hi
When you actually want to convert it and attach then why dont you let the system generate the document and you take care of attaching the same ?
Refer this article to understand how you can attach a file thru activity.

Hi Santanu,
Thanks for responding, but through the Binary file I can get the plain vanilla document file which can be attached. I am looking at generating the document dynamically with some static text and some from Clipboard and then attach using insert "{pega:insert corr=SampleCorr}" with in the document.
Thanks,

You should be able to update the word document template to capture some content from clipboard and some static text.
If you are look at a pdf file, you need to create a section with static content with reference to clipboard properties as the way you want and pass that section to the create pdf smart shape.
Which format file you are looking at?

I am looking at DOC, Updating the Word Document template works today by using CreateandMergeDoc feauture (OOTB) which uses Silver Light.
I am looking for something which doesn't use silver light convert the document with clipboard properties and attach it to the case.

We faced the same issue. Silverlight option is not working in google chrome. There is no third party plugin support available in chrome. We generated the document through a html page and attached it to the case.
Step 1: create a new attachment page.
Step 2: Set the pxRejObjectKey, pxAttachName, pxAttachBy and mainly add the pyAttachStream as @Base64Encode(primary.TemplateAttachment).
Step 3: TemplateAttachment should be in the html format. something like "<HTML>primary.TemplateAttachment</HTML>"
Step 4: Save and commit the instance.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this.
