help OpenTBS FAQ

Which file formats can OpenTBS generate from templates?

OpenTBS merges data into Microsoft Office and LibreOffice templates, producing native docx, xlsx, and pptx files plus OpenDocument formats like odt and ods. You can chain a converter such as headless LibreOffice to output PDF as a second step.

Is OpenTBS free for commercial use?

Yes, it is an open-source plug-in for the TinyButStrong PHP template engine and is commonly used commercially without license fees. Donations to the author support continued development.

What environment does it need to run?

It is a PHP library, so any standard PHP hosting or server that can run TinyButStrong will do. Check the version notes on the TinyButStrong site for the PHP minimum your host must meet.

What are the alternatives to OpenTBS in PHP?

PhpSpreadsheet, the community successor to PHPExcel, handles Excel generation, while PhpWord covers Word documents. OpenTBS's edge is letting non-programmers edit templates directly in Word or Excel rather than building documents purely in code.
