All OpenDocument Format (ODF) and Office Open XML (OOXML) can be merged with OpenTBS, and also XPS files (XPS is a PDF competitor provided by Microsoft).
In fact, all zip archives containing Xml/Html/Text files can be merged with OpenTBS.
OpenTBS basically extracts data from those two formats and delivers it as a ZIP archive.
Here are some key features of "OpenTBS":
· Design templates directly with OpenOffice or MS Office.
· No exe file needed to merge documents.
· No temporary files needed to merge documents.
· Output directly as an HTTP download, a new file on the disk, or as a string (for file attachment for example).
· Works with both PHP 4 and PHP 5.
· No PHP extension is required (If the Zlib extension is enabled it becomes easier to use templates, see more detail below)
· OpenTBS has automatic extension recognition
· Add and delete files in the archive.
Requirements:
· PHP 4.3 or higher
· TinyButStrong 3.7.0 or higher
· Zlib extension enabled in PHP
