From Word template and data to finished PDF.
Your documents. Your workflow.
Integrate easily.
Convert automatically.
Combine reusable Word templates with business data to create invoices, reports, and correspondence. Choose direct HTTP delivery or Oracle storage, and convert existing PDFs for long-term archiving.
Convert with a single call
Send a Base64-encoded Word DOCX BLOB and JSON data in one HTTP POST request. dragon.PDF fills the template, generates PDF/A-2 or PDF/A-3, and returns the file as binary content or Base64 in JSON.
Process BLOBs directly
Load a Word template BLOB directly from an Oracle source table and fill it with JSON data from the request. Store the generated PDF BLOB in a selected target table using UPDATE or INSERT.
Select specific PDF/A variants
Convert documents to PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2, or PDF/A-3 for long-term archiving.
Fill templates automatically
Populate text fields, repeating table rows, and images from JSON. Use placeholders in document text, tables, headers, footers, and Word text boxes to create personalized documents.
01 / Apex Office Print
Extend AOP output.
Integrate archiving.
Extend your Apex Office Print (AOP) output with PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 support. The converter processes standard PDFs into PDF/A-2b or PDF/A-3b directly within your Oracle APEX workflow.
Keep your existing AOP workflow and add PDF/A conversion, or generate documents from Word templates and JSON directly through dragon.PDF. Both paths connect document creation with your archiving process.
02 / Two integration paths
Send request.
Receive result.
Choose direct HTTP delivery or Oracle storage. Send the Word template in your request and receive the generated PDF, or let dragon.PDF retrieve the template from Oracle and store the result in your target table.
Send POST request
For direct delivery, send a Base64-encoded DOCX template, JSON data, and the desired PDF/A version. For Oracle processing, provide source and target tables, BLOB columns, record IDs, and JSON template data.
Fill and convert
dragon.PDF fills the Word template with your data, expands repeating rows, inserts images, and converts the completed document to PDF. Select PDF/A-2 or PDF/A-3 for archival output.
Receive or store the PDF
The direct-response workflow returns the PDF as binary content or Base64 in JSON. The Oracle workflow updates or inserts the PDF BLOB in the target table and returns a JSON status response.
