I have a template in .odt extension and want to populate data in the same by replacing patterned text and save it into pdf or doc.
Have no issue in replacing text by the text and saving into doc/pdf but having trouble to replace text by an image.
For example:
Template having following patterns to be replaced by image and text
//------some static content-------
**&<**signature will be replaced by image.png**>&**
**&<**name of person will be replaced by normal text**>&**
*&<* , *>&* are pattern identifiers in template.
Sample java code to replace text with image (Signature) in odt template and generate doc/pdf file.
