Hello,

phpdocx can overwrite all styles, but the type to be customized may change depending on the style. For example, a font size or a font family can be applied as global style (setDefaultFont or setDocumentDefaultStyles methods), as a custom paragraph/character style (DocxCustomizer/sample_9.php example), as a paragraph style (DocxCustomizer/sample_1.php example) or as a run style (DocxCustomizer/sample_8.php example).

If some style is not being changed is because the correct target/type (https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/docxcustomizer/customize-docx-Word-documents-PHP target and type options) are not being selected.

Please check the samples included in examples/DocxCustomizer. If you post the code you are using to change the styles we'll check it.

Regards.

It seem to be not working. Phpdocx can only change color of text. But not font. We have tried all of your suggestions with no result. What can i do? 

Hello,

phpdocx can change all styles explained on https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/docxcustomizer/customize-docx-Word-documents-PHP , not only the color of the text. As requested in our previous reply, please post the code you are using to change the styles so we can check it.

If you attach the DOCX (using a link to the document) or send it to contact[at]phpdocx.com we'll generate a custom sample to illustrate how to do it using your DOCX.

Regards.

Original DOCX:

My code:

$docxFinal->importContents('ArticoloClelia.docx', ['type' => 'paragraph']);
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/roboto.ttf', 'Roboto');
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/robotoi.ttf', 'Roboto', ['styleEmbeding' => 'Italic']);
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/robotob.ttf', 'Roboto', ['styleEmbeding' => 'Bold']);
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/robotobi.ttf', 'Roboto', ['styleEmbeding' => 'BoldItalic']);
$docxFinal->setDefaultFont('Roboto');

$defaultStyle = [

Note:
The script change color of text but not the font. I tried to change the "type" and "target" in all possible values but no changes.

Hello,

Running the following code Roboto font is applied to the text contents in the document body correctly (that uses a very similar code than the samples included in the package):

$docxFinal = new CreateDocx();

$docxFinal->importContents('ArticoloClelia.docx', ['type' => 'paragraph']);
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/roboto.ttf', 'Roboto');
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/robotoi.ttf', 'Roboto', ['styleEmbeding' => 'Italic']);
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/robotob.ttf', 'Roboto', ['styleEmbeding' => 'Bold']);
$docxFinal->embedFont('fonts/Roboto/robotobi.ttf', 'Roboto', ['styleEmbeding' => 'BoldItalic']);
$docxFinal->setDefaultFont('Roboto');

$defaultStyle = [
    'font' => 'Roboto',
];
$docxFinal->setDocumentDefaultStyles($defaultStyle);

foreach (array('paragraph', 'run', 'list', 'style') as $type) {
        $docxFinal->customizeWordContent(['target' => 'document', 'type' => $type], ['font' => 'Roboto']);
}

$docxFinal->createDocx('output.docx');

We have checked the output with MS Word 2007, MS Word 2010, MS Word 2013, MS Word 2016, MS Word 2019, LibreOffice 5 and LibreOffice 6 and in all cases Roboto is applied to all existing contents in the document body content.

Also please note that your code has some errors, for example:

• 'attributes' => ['w:*'

w:* is not a valid attribute, you need to set a specific attribute name, not a wildcard, to get the correct attribute to be changed.

• [ 'type' => 'style', 'target' => 'style', 'customAttribute' => '//w:body/w:r[1=1 and descendant::w:rFonts[contains(@w:ascii, "*")]]' ]

you are trying to change the style target (style file) with the customAttribute //w:body/w:r that is a tag (not an attribute) that only exists in the document.xml file.

Also please note that your DOCX contains footnotes that aren't supported in the current version of DOCXCustomizer (https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/docxcustomizer/customize-docx-Word-documents-PHP):

target  string  document (default), style, lastSection, header, footer.

Regards.

ok thanks, now it works but on the documentation the wildcard seems to be accepted so we use that.
For the footnotes what can we fix? how can we use them correctly?

Hello,

Only the type option allows a wildcard, as the documentation details:

type  string  * (all), break, image, list, paragraph, run, section, style, table, table-row, table-cell.

The attributes option needs a specific key and value:

attributes  array  Contains a specific attribute key and value.

Sorry but as explained in our previous reply, footnotes aren't supported yet as target with customizeWordContents. These are the supported targets:

target string document (default), style, lastSection, header, footer

Supporting other targets such as footnotes and comments with customizeWordContents are a work in progress that isn't yet ready to be used in production servers.

Regards.
