Plutext

i copied the pdf output from an example from the internet. All examples that i could find use the same method:

Code: Select all

         org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.PdfConversion c = new org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.Conversion(wordMLPackage);
         OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(new File(outputfilepath + ".pdf"));
         c.output ( os , new PdfSettings() );


whenever i use this method i get a pdf without any layouting and tons of

Code: Select all

NOT IMPLEMENTED: support for w:pict - without v:imagedata


errors in the text. I saw that there where possiblities to convert via itext but the api does not seem to carry these possibilities anymore, if i'm not mistaken. The version of docx4j that i used was 3.0.1. since i saw that 3.1.0 should have a lot of pdf output improvements i imported the jar and tried with that but i still get the same errors. Also the functions i use are marked deprecated. Is there a newer example or could somebody give me a basic idea of what to look for to get the conversion working.
Thanks

edit: i also should mention that i try to replace some strings in a pdf, which works good with the VariableReplace example that is provided and i simply put the above code in the save part in addition to the given docx putput. The docx addition works fine.

docx4j's PDF output supports normal images, but it does not support "Shapes" or "Drawing Canvas". Supporting this would require VML to SVG conversion, which is do-able, but not something we've done.

For more background, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/VML

You might try using LibreOffice or OpenOffice for your docx to PDF conversion. If it is satisfactory, you could drive it from Java via JODConverter.
