    Is it possible to save PDF file (converted from docx) to specif folder without direct download link provided? I'm asking for free version.

    Hi xox,

    You only need to replace in TransformDoc.inc file the following lines:

    $fileName = $this->getFileName() . '.pdf';
    $domPDF->stream($fileName);

    with:

    $pdf = $domPDF>output();
    file_put_contents("saved_pdf.pdf", $pdf);

    Remember to change saved_pdf to file name.

    Regards.

    It Doesn't work, all I get is
    [quote]Fatal error: Call to undefined function output() in C:\phpdocx\classes\TransformDoc.inc on line 280[/quote]

    [code] /**
    * Convert DOCX to PDF, using dompdf. DOCX->XHTML->PDF
    *
    * @access public
    */
    public function generatePDF()
    {
    $this->generateXHTML();
    $this->cleanXHTML();
    try {
    $domPDF = new DOMPDF();
    $domPDF->load_html($this->_xhtml);
    $domPDF->render();
    [b]$pdf = $domPDF>output();[/b]
    file_put_contents(”trytosave.pdf”, $pdf);
    }
    catch (Exception $err) {
    echo 'Unable to generate PDF file. ';
    echo $err;
    }

    Hi,

    Dompdf is used to generate PDF files. Please visit http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/ for more info.

    There's an example to save PDF in disk at this page: http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/FAQ.

    We have tested output method and is working ok. You must be doing something wrong in your code.

    Regards.

    I've contacted domPDF team and they say that they can't help because they support only html -> pdf and not docx-> pdf, this is why I'm posting here.

    Hi,

    Phpdocx uses a XSL file to do DOCX->HTML, and dompdf to do HTML->PDF. So if you want to save PDF as a file you should use dompdf functions.

    The example you request is not available in phpdocx free; you can buy phpdocx pro or get a ticket support.

    Regards.
