Component for generating Word/PDF docs?

[Klaus Jensen]

Hi!

I need to...:
- Have a word-template
- Fill certain placeholders with data on the fly
- Insert images into placeholders
- Save/stream the doc
- Export to PDF (save/stream)
- Must not require an office-installation on server

My pricelimit is something like 2000$.

Any inputs on which components are the best for these requirements will be
greatly appreciated! :)

If you think there is another newsgroup, where I would be more likely to get
good answers, please let me know. :)

Thanks in advance

- Klaus
