Why Templater exists
For years, we used Office automation with tags to generate documents. Early versions of Templater were limited and dependent on Microsoft Office.
Over time, we simplified the interface into a single method call and removed the Office automation dependency entirely.
Recognizing that our approach to reporting was unique, we decided to share it with the world in 2011.
How Templater evolved
Over the years, Templater has become faster, smarter and more feature-rich, supporting a wide range of use cases out of the box:
- Version 1: Introduced core tag replacement and resizing, supporting images, tables, lists and basic reflection
- Version 2: Made the extensibility API public, enabling custom plugins and dynamic types for more flexible use cases
- Version 3: Added high-performance CSV streaming and Android support
- Version 4: Full Microsoft Office format support, including PowerPoint
- Version 5: Templater became Enterprise-friendly, with Templater Editor improving template design, debugging and workflow efficiency
- Version 6: Advanced Excel support, document signing with certificates and embedded Word documents with tag support
- Version 7: XML refactored for performance and memory improvements ; introduced native XML streaming
- Version 8: Expanded Excel Form Controls and improved XML/Text behavior for even more complex use cases
Continuous performance improvements now allow Templater to handle large-scale document exports efficiently. Customer feedback from around the world has helped make it a truly Enterprise-ready product.
Note: PDF conversion is not built-in and requires external solutions like Microsoft Office, Aspose or LibreOffice
