Hi,
I'm using the "DOCX From Dynamic Template" plugin to create docx files and it works well. With this is one I can add some fixed images in the generated document.
Unfortunately, with this later, I can not add any type of attached file, and can not not choose dynamically the position of my images.(I've tried to attach a docx Word file but it is unreadable when i try to open it in the generated document)
So maybe would you know another plugin that could do this please ?
I would like Appian to be able to add any attached files on any types (ex : pdf, zip, docx...) in my document, and need this plugin to let me add those attached filed in the position I've chosen (for example in the 2nd row and 3rd column of an array, or after a specific text)...
Regards

Consider exploring the Apache POI library for Java. It allows versatile handling of various file types within DOCX files, enabling you to add attachments dynamically in specified locations within the document.

Thanks a lot Nehak for your advises. After exploring the forums and Youtube video, I was just considering to explore a java solution...
Thanks a lot.
for the an Appian Cloud environnement (we are not on-Premise), do I need to install an SDK or a specific Apache POI plugin ?
You do not directly install an SDK or a specific Apache POI plugin, as you might in an on-premise environment. You need to make a custom plug-in that includes Apache POI for your needs. Then, package and use this plug-in in Appian Cloud, making sure it follows Appian's security and performance rules.
That was what I feared, it will not a turnkey solution but that seems logic...
Thank you Nehak for your confirmation.
