follow up question for the answer :

as pdfjs is already installed package in JSreport why do we need to use jsreport.npm.require ?

Yes ,
The json body is encrypted, for that i cannot use beforeRender.
first action is to decrypt the req.body and then start ..

When using the API route Im expecting to get the a valid request but the json will be encrypted.
I cannot use beforeRender or decode the json, i need to use an express middleware.
Can you please provide some guide for this ? TY

You can see the example from the documentation,
https://jsreport.net/learn/docx#docximage

to make it works with multiple images just add a loop around the image placeholder.

Another wild option is using Docx as the base template, so Page number + TOC will be cover ,
The content will be html that will be create in a beforeRender script ..

I want to create document structure that will include:

1. Cover Page
2. TOC
3. Page numbers

the actual content of the document is a dynamic Template so using Components/childTemplate looks like the best option.

Another requirement is that the Component/childTemplate body will be provided from a API call .
Using the playground example for Components/childTemplate looks like the actual content is store in the DB.
Here are my questions ?

1. Use Components OR childTemplate ? what will be the best option
2. Use beforeRender script to update the Component/childTemplate ? for the budy
3. How to create the Page numbers
4. How to create the TOC

Thank you for the help

@jan_blaha same code ,then i just add this line :

async function afterRender(req, res) {}

and got the error ..

@jan_blaha still having issue.. not working using API

Cannot set property offset of [object Object] which has only a getter

@jan_blaha TY for the quick response 🙏 Working now
A better option is to implement this in the unoconv extension as additional input and use unoconv password option (although it is deprecated )
