I just switch my consulting company to have all our documents (Statement of Work, proposals, NDA, MSA, etc) in LaTeX.
It has worked amazing well. For a few reasons:
1. We easily can typeset all our documents the same and if we do something like change the letterhead we can easily update them all.
2. Auto-generating documents (forms letters) is a snap.
3. Everything is source controlled.
3a. If a client needs customizations we can give them their own branch and easily diff the branch with master. Very useful for documents that have legal side effects.
- greggyb 9y agoCurious about clients that ask you to execute these items in their own templates? We run into this fairly often.
- throwaway2016a 9y agoUnfortunately we're stuck with whatever format they use in that case. Haven't found a good way around it yet. Fortunately for our documentation system, Git does allow binary files.
- greggyb 9y agoThanks. I was hoping you'd have the magic answer to that, as we face the same.
