How it works

Section titled “How it works”

  1. Write the document in Word. Put tags where the data goes: <<client.name>>, a table row repeated per line, a section shown only for some customers.

  2. Add it to the DocIbis library. The console checks the template, keeps its versions and publishes the one your applications use.

  3. Send the data, get the PDF. Your application sends JSON to DocIbis and receives the finished document, usually in a fraction of a second.

Terminal window
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOCIBIS_API_KEY" \
  -F templateName=exemples/03-facture.docx \
  -F data=@invoice.json \
  -o invoice.pdf https://docs.example.com/v1/render

Why DocIbis

Business teams design documents in Word. Developers only send data.

Docmosis-compatible

Same tag syntax and a compatible /api/render call: existing templates and clients keep working.

Self-hosted

One command installs it with Docker on your server. Documents and data stay with you.

Safe publishing

Versions, checks at import, comparison with reference PDFs, scheduled publication and rollback.
