    Hi,

    I've used phpdocx to create a Word Document.  I've done this using the merge docx feature so that I can have multiple headers and footers in the document. Now I need to take the merged document and transform it into a PDF.  I'm doing this by doing the following...

    $docx = new CreateDocx();

$docx->transformDocument("myfile.docx", "myfile.pdf");

    When doing this, I get the following error and the PDF is not created. Any ideas?

    Running in compatibility mode. Unsupported method.

    Okay... I think I found the problem.  In CreateDocx.inc on line 5331 (in the transformDocument() function) there is this line.

    if (!$this->_compatibilityMode) {
    throw new \Exception('Running in compatibility mode. Unsupported method.');
}

    Why is the "!" negation operator there?  If _compatibilityMode is set to false it is going to throw an Exception that says it is running in compatibility mode.  That doesn't make any sense to me.
