WPRobo DocuMerge Lite Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
WPRobo DocuMerge Lite is a free WordPress plugin that automates document generation from form submissions — no SaaS subscription, no monthly fees.
Upload a Word/DOCX template with merge tags like {client_name} or {email}, connect it to a form, and on every submission the plugin fills those tags with submitted data and delivers a completed document as DOCX or PDF.
Why DocuMerge Lite?
SaaS platforms like Formstack Documents and Gavel charge $1,000–$2,000/year for document automation. DocuMerge Lite gives you the core functionality completely free, self-hosted on your own WordPress site.
