with code

InputStream in= new FileInputStream(new File("src/main/resources/demoOffice.odt"));
IXDocReport report = XDocReportRegistry.getRegistry().loadReport(
    in, TemplateEngineKind.Freemarker);

// 2) Create Java model context 
IContext context = report.createContext();
context.put("name", "world");

// 3) Set PDF as format converter
Options options = Options.getTo(ConverterTypeTo.PDF);

// 4) Generate report by merging Java model with the ODT and convert it to PDF
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File("src/main/resources/demoOffice_Out.odt"));
report.convert(context, options, outputStream);

in demoOffice.odt :

hello ${name}!

I don't understand your problem. You can call repeatedly report.convert, no? — Angelo, Sep 25 '14 at 23:03
You say you try to convert a `odt` file, and first line of stacktrace says converter only support `docx` format. It may be the reason of the error (`odt` format is **not** `docx` format) — Serge Ballesta, Sep 26 '14 at 14:12
i was getting error because of this dependency : fr.opensagres.xdocreport fr.opensagres.xdocreport.document.odt 1.0.4 now solved but now getting another exception: fr.opensagres.xdocreport.core.XDocReportException: Null template engine. Set template engine IXDocReport#setTemplateEngine. here --> IContext context = report.createContext(); — user3865046, Sep 26 '14 at 14:30
as explained it misses fr.opensagres.xdocreport fr.opensagres.xdocreport.template.freemarker 1.0.4 — Angelo, Sep 26 '14 at 17:11
yes i added this and removed earlier exception now getting new exception edited above also:: fr.opensagres.xdocreport.core.XDocReportException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: freemarker.template.Configuration.setTagSyntax(I)V java.io.FileNotFoundException: Template fr.opensagres.xdocreport.document.odt.ODTReport@fbe57c!content.xml not found. — user3865046, Sep 27 '14 at 08:21
I think you have not the well Freemarker version. I suggest you to see our odt+freemarker sample which is a maven project https://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/source/browse?repo=samples#git%2Fsamples%2Ffr.opensagres.xdocreport.samples.odtandfreemarker — Angelo, Sep 30 '14 at 08:12

XDocReport is modular, so you must choose :

your template engine implementation. In your case you wish to use Freemarker so you must declare in your pom :

<dependency>
  <groupId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport</groupId>
  <artifactId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport.template.freemarker</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.4</version>
</dependency>

the document kind (doc, odt, etc). In your case you wish to use odt so you must declare in your pom :

<dependency>
  <groupId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport</groupId>
  <artifactId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport.document.odt</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.4</version>
</dependency>

the converter if you wish to convert report to other format than original. In your case you wish to convert ODT to PDF, so you must declare in your pom :

<dependency>
  <groupId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport</groupId>
  <artifactId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport.converter.odt.odfdom</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.4</version>
</dependency>

Those dependencies are explained here

thx for reply ...i already added this and removed earlier exception but now i m getting this error ...edited above — user3865046, Sep 26 '14 at 15:36
