    I'm trying to convert docx templates to pdf on a Linux server using OpenOffice ("transformDocument()" method of new phpdocx 4). The template includes a table in the header. When converted, this table is positioned completely worng, the resulting pdf is unusable. I tried many things, but couldn't get a result as expected. On the test server, wich is running Windows + MS Word, the converted odf is perfect. I understand, that OpenOffice doesn't work 100% as MS Word does, but my question is how to solve the issue? Can the conversion result with OpenOffice be improved? If not, is there an online service (API) running on a windows server, where the docx can be sent to and a pdf is returned? Thanks for your suggestions.
