New Plugin - Generate and Download .doc Files

Showcase
1

Hello everyone,

we released a new plugin: Generate and Download .doc Files

This plugin allows you to generate and download .doc files containing dynamic text from your bubble application. The generation takes place completely within the browser and no external libraries/services are required. You can simple enter the text that the word document should contain and the .doc file will be generated in a few seconds. The text in the document will not be styled.

For a demo of this plugin please visit:https://seodemo2.bubbleapps.io/version-test/word2

For a demo of this plugin in the bubble editor please visit:Seodemo2 | Bubble Editor

Plugin page: Generate and Download .doc Files Plugin | Bubble

Please offer a once off purchase price. I need this function but I don’t do monthly payments.

Ok we just added the option.

Thanks. A few last questions: Does the Word file generated recognize paragraph breaks and also does it recognize bullet/number points?

Also can it generate docx. or only doc.?

5

Hello,

no it does not recognize any style, only plain text ist exported.

Right now only .doc is exported, but we’ll try to make .docx work as well

6

When are you able to add the styling as well?

7

Hi,

styling is supported if you format the text as html. So basically if you export HTML with styling it will be recognized

8

@Anticode Has this ever worked with Pages (builtin Mac application that can read word docs)?

hi, does it work downloading from RichText to word?

Do you have an example of how to do it?

12

Is there any update on the .docx?
The .doc files don’t open on a Mac

13

.doc won’t open on mac. It will need to be .docx but it looks like they don’t support .docx yet.

This is great. Documents finally open.
Is there a way to export with the styling intact?
Right now it exports with the HTML code exposed.

@bryan8 here is the developer team feedback:

Currently, the plugin creates the .doc or .docx file format and inserts the text only, with no formatting applied.
An improvement might be possible, but that would take a lot of time and effort, because in this case a lot of things should be taken into consideration, like font style, font weight, font size, lists, colors, etc.

The less that we can do now aside from the existing field documentation within the plugin action - we will add a warning within the plugin marketplace page description.

In case there will be any improvements or updates on the matter, we will announce them within this thread.

Rapid Dev Support Team
