Topic: Convert docx to pdf whilst not losing line number

Posted by acunnington · 15-05-2014 - 13:57

Hi,

Is it possible to convert a DOCX to a PDF without losing the line numbers? They're quite important so we can't afford to lose them.

Thanks,

Harry

Hello,

What do you mean by 'line numbers'? Please post a screenshot or a docx example.

Regards.

Hi again,

To save some time, I will just show the code that generates it. If you NEED a screenshot/file, I will upload in due course.



    $lineNumberingOptions = array(

        'countBy' => 5,

        'start' => 1,

        'restart' => 'newPage'

        );

    $docx->addLineNumbering($lineNumberingOptions);

Thanks,

Harry

Hi,

I have uploaded the file here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/r7izks

I edited the text to lorem ipsum as I cannot share, but it's only to show the line numbers.

Thanks,

Harry

Hi,

If you don't use Odfconverter to do the transformation:

$docx->transformDocx('pages-word2-output-1-This-is-my-amazing-title.docx', 'example_text.pdf', null, array('odfconverter' => false));

The PDF will include the line numbering. We're going to check OdfConverter to find any issue but this is a quick solution if your documents don't use complex tables.

Regards.
