Hi,

I'm making a header in my document using the code from the example http://www.docx4java.org/trac/docx4j/br ... reate.java with the following code added in main():

wordMLPackage.save(new File(filename + ".docx"));
// mainDocumentPart.marshal(new FileOutputStream(new File(System
// .getProperty("user.dir"), "headerfooter.xml")));

// PDF export starts here
Mapper font_mapper = new IdentityPlusMapper();
wordMLPackage.setFontMapper(font_mapper);

org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.PdfConversion c = new org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.Conversion(wordMLPackage);

c.output(new java.io.FileOutputStream(filename + ".pdf"), new org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.PdfSettings());

System.out.println("done");

In the resulting PDF the header image is not present. What to do to generate a proper header ?

Actually it works for me already (2.8.1).

Which docx4j are you using? What image format?

Please post your docx and I will take a look.

Hi,

I'm running docx-2.8.1 downloaded from your webside on a Mac OS X 10.7.5.

I'm posting the code I've been running, the docx and PDF files generated. The logo is a jpeg image. I have also attached the output of the run. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the clear description of the issue

The problem is that docx4j maintains an internal model of the sections in your docx, including the headers/footers in each section.

Adding a header/footer as your code does does not update the model, so when the PDF is generated, docx4j does not know there is a header present.

Just fixed as https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/commi ... 1f5d93e0a8

Compiled new version and it works ! Thanks a lot.

Jason,

You mentioned that the way that mgrela was creating headers/footers does not update the model...Can you give a code example of how one should create headers/footers so that they are included when generating PDF?

Thank you.

As from https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/commi ... 462ba3c233 this is done automatically before generating a PDF.

Prior to that commit, you should invoke wordMLPackage.getDocumentModel().refresh()

Thank you so much Jason! That worked perfectly.
