How do you fill dynamically contents of template documents or forms during runtime?

[adb]

Just curious how you fill dynamically contents of template documents or forms during runtime, like field contents of invoice forms or office forms? Does Lianja able to do them? Can you show samples, please. Thank you.

Hi Adb
I did not understand what you meant..

Hi adb,

I was also puzzled. The "template" in Lianja is for saved section or page to be reused in other apps.

Now I believe you are talking about Microsoft Office forms and templates. I didn't find that someone is using them with Lianja.
There were only some examples of writing data to excel sheets:

Excel document can be open:

oExcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.application")
cExcelPath = SYS(2003) + "\Excel\abc.xls"
oWorkbook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(cExcelPath)

What I am after is how formatted documents in PDF, Word, Open Office or whichever application it was developed could be filled out. Like for example, registration documents or certifications, how do you fill out the demographics data of employees (name, gender, age, area, city, interests, etc.) for instance when you want to generate them from your application.

Hi adb,
look this post:

With Lianja you can interact with Excel and, I think, also with other application can support "application".

Hi adb,

The most straight-forward approach is to make your application an application.

So, instead of a PDF you collect the answers right in a Lianja application users can access from their phone or browser.
