Ver.2 New Version Released – Added HTML Preview Feature, etc.

We've released a new version of Office File Creator Ver.2.

Revision Details

Added the HTML Preview feature. Templates are created in Word. This feature is available in Office File Creator Pro.

By using the ofcHtml component, you can display a preview on the record detail page.
The preview is also available from the custom buttons, Lightning component buttons, and flows.
You can save a PDF using the browser's print function. Conventional PDF generation with Visualforce has various limitations, but a PDF created with the browser's print function is not subject to these limitations.
