Stop rebuilding Word documents with PDF libraries

Hi fellow coders,

I built TMPLVISION after repeatedly running into the same issue in projects.

Often legal, finance, or sales teams provide document templates as Word files. To automate document generation, developers usually rebuild the entire layout using PDF libraries.

This is tedious and fragile.

TMPLVISION takes a different approach:

• Create document templates directly in Microsoft Word (.docx) • Insert placeholders like {{my_test}} • Send JSON via a REST API • Receive a generated PDF or HTML document

DOCX + JSON → PDF / HTML

Curious how others here are currently solving document generation.

When did Word produce an Document in valid OOXML?
