LiveDocx

Overview
This module integrates with the livedocx
third party service for generating dynamic microsoft word and pdf
documents.  For templates, this module uses a docx file supplied
by the user.  This module integrates docx template mail merge
fields with drupal content type fields to generate dynamic docx and pdf
files.  The files are generated and downloadable on the fly.
 User's docx and pdf files are downloaded at the point of
generation are not stored on the server.

    #help on creating microsoft docx mail merge templates
    #note: refer to the README.txt for the latest install instructions.
    #note: Updating templates -- you
can make changes to the Microsoft template docx file and ftp
(overwrite) the existing template on the server.  You can add
new mail merge variables, and make formating changes without having to
delete the template from the livedocx module.  If you add new mail
merge variables, you'll need to update the associated content type and
update the variable mappings in the livedocx configuration settings.
 If you are experiencing spacing issues in your final pdf/docx
output, change the cursor type from insert to overwrite in the
template's at the point of the mail merge variable.
