    We are generating a Word File and then converting it to PDF via ``transformDocxUsingMSWord``. This works perfectly on our local environment, however fails in production. Here's what happens: 1. Word File is generated correctly 2. $docx->transformDocxUsingMSWord() is executed 3. In MSWordInterface.inc, the transformFormat() method tries to open the file via: $MSWordInstance->Documents->Open($docSource); 4. The class tries to save the document as a pdf via: $MSWordInstance->Documents[1]->SaveAs($docDestination, $code[$extension]); however $MSWordInstance->Documents[1] does not exist. 5. Exception thrown: CRITICAL: Uncaught PHP Exception com_exception: "Source: Microsoft Word
    Description: The requested member of the collection does not exist." at C:\[...]\Classes\Phpdocx\Converters\MSWordInterface.inc line 62 {"exception":"[object] (com_exception(code: -2147352567): Source: Microsoft Word
    Description: The requested member of the collection does not exist. at C:\\[...]\\Classes\\Phpdocx\\Converters\\MSWordInterface.inc:62)"} [] So the method to open the Word file does not return any error, however doesn't open the file as well.. The server is a Windows Server 2012R2 Standard, running Apache2.4 with Word2010 installed. I reckon that it's something about privileges of the user, however can't find any solution. Any ideas?
