Hi All,
I currently have a legacy app which uses an Access database to do a
mail-merge with Word 2003. Due to upgrades, all of the Access 03 stuff
is getting its last rights. Since we are now SQL server with security,
mail-merges are a little harder than before, and not really practical.
(but maybe I'm missing something?)
A few questions:
- Any good advise/links on how to do a similar thing to mail-merges?
- I've been playing around with using System.Packaging to unzip the docx
and find/replace on the merge fields.
I'd like to be able to export the docx file to PDF without having Word
on the machine, I've had a look at Aspose.Words and it seems pricey for
what I want to do (docx->pdf on multiple client sites = ~$3000). Does
anyone have any advice or experience with one product over another?
I'm not 100% sure about what I am trying to do yet, so any
info/stories/links/whatever would be appreciated.
Thanks :)
