Topic: Generated docx and pdf vastly differ

Posted by acunnington · 12-05-2014 - 16:17

Hi,

I'm generating both of my documents. The DOCX from a template, and PDF from the newly created DOCX.

For some reason unbeknownst to me, the PDF doesn't carry across the formatting that the word document had. Any ideas? It's lacking images, font sizes (the sub/superscript on 2nd), converting black underlines to gray font etc etc.

This is my PDF code;



    $document = new TransformDoc();

    $document->setStrFile($filename .'.docx');

    $document->generatePDF($filename . '.pdf');

Thanks,

Harry

Hello,

You need to use the conversion plugin instead of the TransformDoc class.

Please check this pages:

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Debug info from gdb:


=================================================================

Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates

a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries

used by your application.

=================================================================

Any known issues for this? I can't have a look at this for a few hours unfortunately.

Thanks,

Harry

Hello,

You need to create this folder:

/var/www/.wapi

And set rwx access to the user that runs the program and Apache.

Regards.

Posted by acunnington · 13-05-2014 - 14:08

I'm not using the /var/www folder, I'm using;



/mnt/utils/

So I created that directory, and did this command.


[root@util ~]# chown -R apache:apache /mnt/utils/.wapi/

It's still giving the same error message. Any advice?

I can't find an edit button, but here is the output of the error log when I run the script;

Posted by acunnington · 13-05-2014 - 14:12

I did the chown for /var/www.

Figured it out. I was specifiying the output directory absolutely, although that was trying to go from the document root.

My next problem is it's not using the correct font even though I just installed it.

Posted by jorgelj · 14-05-2014 - 09:47

Hello,

Can you use the font in other programs?

You could do a custom installation downloading OpenOffice from openoffice.org or from you distro repository.

Regards.

Posted by acunnington · 14-05-2014 - 10:07

Hi,

I was just able to use the font in gedit, successfully.

When you say a custom installation, what exactly do you mean?

Thanks,

Harry

Posted by jorgelj · 14-05-2014 - 15:24

Hello,

I mean to download OpenOffice from openoffice.org and install it.

Regards.

It's all sorted now. I tried lots of things, rebooted and it worked!

Thanks for the help.
