I need to generate different multi-page documents from some templates. I need to replace or insert some text and charts at specific locations in the template and then generate the final document. At the moment the templates are Microsoft Word documents. We use Windows as our OS and Java as the development technology. I looked at iReports but because the editor has limited capabilities, I cannot convert the Word templates into iReport documents.
I looked at using COM/OLE or other Microsoft technologies but I don't have enough knowledge of them to embark on that journey, specially calling them from Java. We want to use Java to be able to create a desktop app and a web app as well. I used iText before to generate a chart in PDF format that needs to be in some of the reports. It worked beautifully. I own the first edition of the iText book and it clearly states that iText is not designed for editing pdf documents. I'd like to know if there is a way to create the pdf templates and use iText to replace some of the text and charts (images) to produce the real documents. I thought about using form fields, but it probably would not work for replacing images (charts). Any suggestion would be appreciated.
