Report Builder is a plugin for WordPress that instantly creates documents and spreadsheets filling your templates with actual data.
Overview of Report Builder for wpDataTables
The Report Builder plugin transforms your WordPress site into a dynamic document generation platform. Designed for businesses, consultants, educators, and developers, it seamlessly pulls data from posts, pages, custom fields, user profiles, forms, or databases to create customized, data-driven reports, invoices, certificates, lists, and summaries.
With an intuitive template editor inside WordPress, you design the structure and layout once, and the plugin populates it with live data upon each export. Documents are generated in the true, editable Office Open XML formats (DOCX and XLSX), ensuring full compatibility with Microsoft Office, Google Docs, and other popular office suites.
Eliminate manual copy-pasting and create branded, accurate documents in seconds, all automated within your WordPress workflow.
