Hello!

After merging some docx files, I am trying to transform the document to HTML format, but I am getting this error:

Call to undefined method DOMText::getElementsByTagNameNS()

file: phpdocx/Classes/Phpdocx/Transform/TransformDocAdvHTML.php:2529

The merge function is as follows:

$docxMerger = new Phpdocx\Utilities\MultiMerge();

$result = $docxMerger->mergeDocx($firstDocument, $docArray, $destination, ['mergeType'=> 1,'preserveStyleDefaults' => true, 'enforceSectionPageBreak' => true, 'numbering' => 'continue']);

The transform function is the same as your example.

The issue dissapears if I open the file with MSWord and save it again.

Thank you

Hello,

What version and license of phpdocx are you using? Maybe the DOCX is using a not supported content or style by Word to HTML feature (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/word-to-html-PHP) in the version you are using.

As your username doesn't have a license tied, please send to contact[at]phpdocx.com the username or email of the user that purchased the license and the DOCX that returns the error so we can check it.

Regards.
