public class ExampleCode
{
    static void Main()
    {
        HotDocs.Server.Interop.Application app = new HotDocs.Server.Interop.Application();
         
        string templatePath = @"C:\temp\Demo Employment Agreement.docx";
        HotDocs.Server.Interop.HDAssemblyOptions options = HotDocs.Server.Interop.HDAssemblyOptions.asmOptNone;
        HotDocs.Server.Interop.AnswerCollection ansColl = new HotDocs.Server.Interop.AnswerCollection();
        ansColl.Open(@"C:\temp\EmployeeAnswers.anx");
        string documentPath = @"C:\temp\EmployeeOutput.pdf";
        HotDocs.Server.Interop.PdfOutputOptions outputOptions = new HotDocs.Server.Interop.PdfOutputOptions();
         
        app.AssembleDocument2(templatePath, options, ansColl, documentPath, outputOptions);
    }
