Before entering the world of document generation, it is important to note the main differences. Here, a distinction must be made between individual areas. An example is the area of print letters (generation of mass letters), which use structured data like that of invoice generation.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, there are individual letters which are to be additionally filled with free texts or information from the clerk (unstructured data). Here, the structured data is mixed with unstructured data.<\/p>\n
