I am using the Docx Html Editor which was using 3.0.0. Is it possible to migrate to 3.3.0? The RoundtripXHTMLImporter class seems to have problems overriding certain methods.

Also, I have some problems using PDF converter in v3.0.0. Footers were not rendered correctly. Does the latest version handles Footers when converting docx to PDF?

Somebody else reported to me that they had migrated it to 3.3.0. Shouldn't be a problem. Let me try it a bit later.

Regarding PDF: as per announces/docx4j-3-3-0-released-t2381.html

default PDF converter changed from XSL FO + Apache FOP to Plutext's commercial PDF Converter. XSL FO based PDF output moved to new/separate project docx4j-export-fo


See the release announcement for more.

The default PDF Converter in 3.3.0 should certainly handle footers. As to the XSL FO method, there may well have been improvements between v3.0.0 and v3.2, but I don't think there were any subsequent improvements.
