This plugin is a spin-off of our Docxpresso API library designed to generate all kind of dynamical documents on your web server (PDF, Word, ODT, RTF).

If you use our plugin we would be very thankful if you fulfill this simple online survery.

How to use it

NOTE: If you have updated to WP5.* or you are using the Gutenberg editor plugin you should also have a look at the Gutenberg – WP5 Block editor section of this page.

Create a standard document with the content that you want to insert in your Post or Page using your favourite Word Processor or Spreadsheet (MS Word, Libre Office or Open Office).
IMPORTANT: Save your document in .odt (or .ods format for spreadsheets) format. In MS Word choose OpenDocument (.odt) in your Save As dialogue (in Libre or Open Office is the default format). If you are working with Excel you may equivalently save it in Open Document Format (.ods in this case).
Create or edit a Post or Page in your WordPress interface.
Click the Insert Document button located over the text editor.
A standard WordPress media window will open. You may upload a new document with the required contents or use a previously uploaded document.
After choosing a file click on the Insert button.
A [docxpresso] shortcode will be included within your text editor.
You may then add or not any additional content to your post but do not try to modify by hand the contents of the Docxpresso shortcode unless you really know what you are doing.
You may insert as many documents as you wish in a single Post or Page.

NOTE: You may use also Docxpresso plugin in conjunction with other plugins that allow to retrieve documents from cloud storage repositories like Amazon S3.

Check this video tutorial where you will find a detailed example of all the above:

In case you want to make any of your tables sortable you also should:

Declare the first row of your table as a header row within your Office document
insert a “@” symbol as the first character in every column that you wish to be sortable
If you want to sort columns by numbers that do not follow the en-US standard, i.e. 3,576.45, you should modify the number format for sorting in your plugin options panel under the Settings section of your WordPress installation

You may check how to do it with the help of this video:

Since v2.1 you may also insert in your document a link to a yotube video, a Google form or a Google doc to render it in your WordPress post or page:

Go to youtube, Google forms or Google docs interfaces and copy the offered share link
Always use, if available, the short URL format
Insert it into your office document as a link
By default the videos are fluid and the forms and docs take all available width space. But you can set custom width and height by adding, for example, ‘?width=600&height=400’ to the link URL

You may see an example in the following video:

Gutenberg – WP5 Block editor

Since v2.3 this plugin is compatible with the new “WP block editor”, also known as Gutenberg:

Click on the Docxpresso block that is available together with all the standard widget blocks within your block editor interface.
A new block will appear in the editor interface with a button inviting you to select a file.
Clicking on that button a standard WordPress media window will open. You may upload a new document with the required contents or use a previously uploaded document.
After clicking on the “Select button” a shortcode will be inserted in your editor.
As before, if you wish, you may insert multiple documents with Docxpresso in the same page or post and combine them with all other available blocks.

NOTE: With this new editor you need to save the edition before being able to visualize the uploaded document in the preview page.

If you prefer to use the “Classical editor” in your WP5 installation you may proceed as described in the previous section.

Click the Docxpresso SaaS button located over the text editor.
A pop up will open with the a full directory tree of all the documet templates available in your Docxpresso cloud installation.
Click on the folder of your choice and a pop up will open with the list of available document templates.
Choose insert into WordPress if you want the document/form to be embedded within your post/page or print link if you just want to forward your visitors to your Docxpresso installation.
Navigate through the list and choose the desired template by clicking on the Insert button (for interactive documents) or Web Form button (for an standard web form).
A shortcode [docxpresso_document] will be inserted with the selected options.
Write any additional content if needed and save the post/page

Browse generated document and data directly from your WordPress interface:

Click on the Docxpreso SaaS button of your main WordPress admin menu.
Choose the Templates option.
You will be redirected to the Data Management interface where you will be able to filter by name and category the template data and generated documents that you wish to browse.
Click on the name of the desired template and you will be redirected to a page with all the uses of that template.
You may, if you wish, filter the data by dates or other associated fields.
You then may access bulk data in CSV format or access the data for a single use by clicking in the corresponding button.
You may also, at any time, download the associated documents by clicking on the Download button located at the right of each usage.

Of course, you may also access all this data and documents from your Docxpresso installation backoffice interface where you can enjoy more sophisticated filtering options and many other goodies.

WordPress users may access the documents generated by them via the plugin from their dashboard.
\nDepending of the type of access granted they may:

Download the generated document at any time.
Continue edition until the document is set as completed.

You may also learn how to anchor the generated documents to the Bitcoin blockchain with the following video:

Advanced users

You may now forward arbitrary data to a Docxpresso template by defining the function forwardDocxpressoData($data) somewhere in your WP installation:

The functions.php file of your theme or preferably a child theme to avoid issues when updating the theme.
The custom.php file that comes bundle within your plugin. In this case you should be carefully to backup it before updating the plugin.

Within this function you may request, for example, user and post data via wp_get_current_user() and get_post() native WordPress functions as well as
\nDocxpresso template data like the template id stored in $data[‘template’].

The function forwardDocxpressoData($data) should return the modified $data array including a ‘varData’ key that should follow the following structure:

\n
$data[‘varData’] = ‘{“varValues”:{“variable_1”:[“value_1″],”variable_2”:[“value_2”]}}’;
\n

Where variable_1 and variable_2 should correspond to variables in the Docxpresso template, otherwise they will be ignored.

You may see an example on how to do it in here: Export data to a template.
