fill table from dotx file before genereting pdf file with aspose

Question

I have to do the followings:

1. use a .dotx template with header, footer, table, all marked with bookmarks at placeholders that will be filled with data
2. fill with data the header and the table
3. generate a pdf file

What should be the steps to accomplish this from the coding perspective?

• To create the document with the dotx. template?
• to create grammatically a table?
• to find the bookmarks and fill them?

Please give some hints; I saw a lot of examples, but I don’t understand how to use the template and to fill it with data. Thanks!

Answer 1

Please do not use the form fields in the template document. I suggest you please use LINQ Reporting to populate the template document with data that comes from database. The LINQ Reporting Engine is a part of the Aspose.Words API that enables you to build reports using an extended set of reporting features.
