Documents & spreadsheets

VIKTOR offers several services that can be used to for example convert a file's extension (e.g. Word to PDF), or to dynamically fill a file where the content depends on other factors.

caution

Services need to be mocked within the context of (automated) testing.

Document conversion / merging

The following methods can be used to convert a file to PDF:

• Word to PDF (convert_word_to_pdf()).
• Excel to PDF (convert_excel_to_pdf()).
• SVG to PDF (convert_svg_to_pdf()).

Multiple PDF documents can easily be merged into a single document using merge_pdf_files().

Templating

Dynamically filling a document can be achieved by using one of the available templaters:

• Word (render_word_file()).
• Spreadsheet (render_spreadsheet()).
• Jinja (render_jinja_template()).

Furthermore, a spreadsheet can be used as calculator.
