In Which Formats Can Documents Be Generated?

What Do You Get at the End?

SmartDocuments supports document generation in a variety of formats, depending on the intended use case:

  • PDF – for legally compliant document distribution and archiving
    • PDF 1.5 / 1.7 – standard formats for general use
    • PDF/A-1a / 1b – long-term archiving formats compliant with legal retention requirements
    • PDF/A-2a / 2u – modern archival formats with enhanced compatibility
    • PDF/UA-1 – accessible PDF format optimized for use with screen readers
  • DOCX – for further editing in Microsoft Word
  • ODT – for users of OpenOffice or LibreOffice
  • HTML – for display in web applications or email templates
  • XML (when used with system integrations) – for the structured transfer of all data collected in the SmartWizard to connected third-party systems


You can decide which output format, or combination of formats, should be generated. This flexibility allows documents to be used exactly as needed, whether for further editing, compliant archiving, digital delivery, or integration with third-party applications.
