Create Online Document, Save & Edit It, Print In Specific Format

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

I am trying to create a simple process for someone to create a business plan online.

I have been looking at either WP or Joomla with a form maker and WP seems to have the stronger options for the document (form) creation, but I am trying to find something to also output it in a nice format (pdf, word?) rather than plain.

I am not tied to using these platforms, but also want a relatively simple solution to deploy that has user functionality.

Any one with thoughts?.

Not sure what you are attempting here. MS Word 2016 online will allow you to create a business plan in the cloud. Just sign up for a free Outlook.com account and you are away. Print to a local printer or PDF - your choice. You can also do Power Point presentation pages if you prefer.
Google Apps will allow you to do similar using Google Docs, also prints to PDF if you want it.

Google sites will allow you to build a web page with a full range of fonts and colours, it will allow you to publish to a URL that is linkable and will also print to PDF using local client print drivers.

Come back if you want more than this.

I want people registered to a site to be able to create their own documents e.g. a business plan.

As good as these are, O365 and Gmail are not for this!

I am currently looking at Joomla/Chronoforms which might work.

Personally I use Gravity forms with the PDF addon. See https://gravitypdf.com/

That's the best wordpress way I know of.

Not Gmail and/or O365, Google Sites and/or OneDrive. Both will allow you to launch an online template where users can 'fill in the blanks'. In this way the users will be working with an online word processor document and not a structured form.

If you really need an online form try Google Forms.

It's a bit belated, I know. But, Microsoft have just rolled out a Forms function for Office 365. You have to be an Office 365 subscriber, but I just tested it and it looks very useful.
