Word Merge Functionality
In my application in one of the scenario wherein we generate the Resume for the user. This functionality is implemented using Word Merge functionality. I wanted to know can the merge document action be done in the background. So that when the user clicks on some action they can directly view the generated document.

I referred few docs available for word merge and for performing it in background didn't got any info. I think there is no straight forward approach to perform it.

Can you expand more on what you mean by "in the background"?
The way it works now, it will do it in a sense "in the background". It will pull and merge property values into your word merge template. Then Word will pop up for the user automatically with fields filled out for them with whatever property references you have configured.
At that point, they don't have to make any inputs if they do not want to.
