Convert output to Word Document editor

Hi, I have this use case: I have multiple form which using RichTextEditor for input field and word document template file. I need to fill the input user type in those RichTextEditor to the word document template. I have research and found the only way to insert rich text input into word file is by insert data with SDFT format, but to do that I need to convert each input field value to SDFT which is not performance because there alot of field and I need to do that on the server. So is there anyway to convert output from RichTextEditor to SDFT in the client side after user submit

Hi Lý Quang Tùng,

Thank you for your patience.

We discussed your requirement with our Document Editor team regarding converting Rich Text Editor content to SFDT for Word template integration.

Currently, converting HTML/Rich Text Editor content to SFDT requires server-side processing. The Document Editor does not provide a client-side mechanism to directly convert HTML content into SFDT.

To achieve this, we recommend using the Document Editor Web Service and its server-side load functionality. The service can load HTML content and convert it into SFDT format, which can then be used for further Word document processing.

Once the web service is configured, you can pass the HTML content from your Rich Text Editor to the service and obtain the corresponding SFDT output.

Relevant resources:


Therefore, a purely client-side HTML-to-SFDT conversion approach is not supported at this time, and a server-side Document Editor service is required for this workflow.

Please let us know if you need any assistance in setting up the web service or implementing the conversion workflow.

Regards,
Kirupa.
