Service to merge & convert Microsoft Office documents

Hey there!

I have been building a service to merge Microsoft Office documents with data(json, xml) and convert them into pdf or jpeg.

I have thought of the following features, most of them are already implemented:

  1. Management and storage of templates
  2. Merge docx with json
  3. Conversion from docx to pdf, jpeg, plus any conversions added in the future.
  4. Dynamic images, HTML, loops in tables, and text.
  5. Search in all the reports by text
  6. Word components (Imagine if you have a footer in all the documents, or a logo, etc.., the idea is to be able to reference it from the template and be able to change it automatically without any pain )
  7. Batch processing (e.g I want to create 5000 reports within 2 hours)

Motivation:

The motivation is to separate the template design of the data. There are many people that use the word/excel so good and they could design it better than programmers. Why not give them the responsibility to do nice documents and make the programmer live better because he only needs to have the data? This is the main goal.

For now, I have the merge of a word document with JSON and the conversion from docx to pdf, jpeg. I'm finishing the landing and the management UI, and want it to be launched within 2 weeks.

Thanks for reading and I appreciate any feedback given!
