    <p>I do not have code for converting DocX to PDF, but it appears your requirement for DocX is not firm. Your last bullet says:</p> <blockquote> <p>Or create template document with other file format that can export it to DocX and PDF file format. Moreover, end-users should easily edit this file. If you know, please tell me.</p> </blockquote> <p>I read this to mean you want to be able to create a template document, fill it with data and covert it to PDF, yet allow the template to be maintained, right? </p> <p><strong>Solution: XSL-FO</strong></p> <p>XSL-FO is a W3C standard like HTML and can be transformed by a number of open source and commercial products into PDF, WordML, XPS, PS, PCL, SVG, TIFF, etc. I have used this to deliver hundreds of thousands of documents per month, both online as PDFs and offline (things like bulk check printing).</p> <p>To get you started, here is the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/" rel="noreferrer">W3C page for XML-FO</a>. There is a lot of good information there, including a list of software (both open source and commecial) down the left side. I have personally used two commercial products called <a href="http://www.xmlpdf.com/" rel="noreferrer">IBEX PDF Creator</a> and <a href="http://www.renderx.com/" rel="noreferrer">XEP by RenderX</a>. Both are excellent products, and there is a 100% managed C# implementation to get to PDF called <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/fonet" rel="noreferrer">FO.NET</a> up on CodePlex. I have not tried this, but it should satisfy your "free" criterion.</p> <p>There are a number of ways you can edit the template for documents to be created in XSL-FO. Typically this template is XSLT that you apply to your XML data, but this is not a requirement. I have built these by hand, but it is a bit of a learning curve. You can start with a document in XSL-FO and fill in sections of it with code, just as you could HTML. The good news is that <a href="http://www.stylusstudio.com/xsl_fo_processing.html" rel="noreferrer">there</a> <a href="http://www.editix.com/features/xslfo_editor.html" rel="noreferrer">are</a> <a href="http://www.oxygenxml.com/fo_editor.html" rel="noreferrer">a number of</a> <a href="http://www.renderx.com/tools/datastyler.html" rel="noreferrer">XSL-FO editors</a> out there. The bad news is that none I know of are free, but several of them are cheap and you may find something that meets the free criterion with a bit of Googling. However, one option is that you can convert from Word using a stylesheet (<a href="http://www.antennahouse.com/product/wordmltofo.htm" rel="noreferrer">commercial</a> &amp; <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537167(office.11).aspx" rel="noreferrer">free</a>).</p>

    2. COAbsolutely. You can embed bitmaps using the external-graphic element. They are typically referenced by URL as in an HTML document. Most (if not all) XSL-FO renderers also support scalable vector graphics using svg in a document. Here is a link to a nice XSL-FO reference: http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/xslfo_reference.asp

    3. COHere is another commercial product that claims to convert from DocX to XML-FO: http://www.alt-soft.com/Products_Word2PDF.aspx And another free one that goes from RTF to XSL-FO: http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Network_and_Internet/Web_Server_Components/RTF_TO_XML.html And another free one on SourceForge call html2fo that converts from HTML to XSL-FO: http://sourceforge.net/projects/html2fo/ However, please keep in mind quality of the conversion will vary depending on the source and the transformation method.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
