Is Drawloop available for Nintex installed on SharePoint 2013 (On Premise)? If not, is there a similar product?

Like Haley said, it is only available for Salesforce, while there is a doc gen action available for Office 365.
That being said, I attended the Nintex InspireX conference and they did announce plans to bring document generation to on-prem 2016, which will mean it should also be available in 2013. When that will be, I don't know.
It is possible however to do some basic document generation using Nintex Workflow 2013 for On-Prem. There are two actions you can look at called "Read Document" and "Update Document".
Here is a link to a PDF on how to use the action for basic document generation. It is for 2010, but it should still apply for 2013 I believe.
The main issue I've ran into while using the Read and Update Document actions is formatting within the document. Inserting content would often cause a loss in formatting for the specific content. This was an issue related to the version of Word the company was using, so if you're using a more recent version it should be okay.
Hi Matt
Thanks for this - however the Document read and Update actions are not available in Nintex 2013 Standard (which is the version I have).

What is the actual state of "Document Generation Action" for Workflow On-Premises?
