A beta of what will be docx4j 3.1.0 is now available for download. Please give it a try .. we anticipate releasing docx4j 3.1.0 around Easter.

See below for description of changes, but they are mainly:

- improvements to docx PDF output

- events infrastructure, allowing a listener to subscribe to track progress of time consuming tasks

The main reason for labelling it version 3.1.0 (as opposed to 3.0.2) is because an additional dependency mbassador ...

Hi,

I've been obtaining a ClassNotFound error, in a semi-random manner when I try to run a docx to pdf conversion using docx4j.

I'm deploying my app in a weblogic 10.3.5, and the exception is trown at runtime. And i'm using maven to handle the dependencies, the docx4j version is 3.0.0.

The weblogic.xml is reflecting the directive to prefer app jar uppon the weblogic ones. (I've tried to declered the preferences by package but Weblogic ...

Hi,

   return pdfOutFileName;


And I have below DocX4j libraries include in my class path ...

Good evening to all.
I'm using docx4j to generate and then print membership cards of my association. I thought I would use a template file with placeholders to be replaced with the member information (first name, last name, etc..).
If I have to print a single card there is no problem, everything is in position.
But if I have many I would create a page for each membership card.
I need to replicate the same ...

Hi,

I experience the following effect. I generate a Word document from an XHTML source. Using the same source string, one of my Java applications processes the content correctly and generates a nice Word document. My RCP application which processes exactly the same source string generates a different Word document where all formats are gone. I use the same code to generate the Word document in both applications:


this.wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new File(TEMPLATE_WORD_DOCUMENT));

String htmlString ...

Hi,
I use XHTMLImporter to generate a Word file from an existing HTML. It works fine, except when I want to indent a whole paragraph.

The following example works correctly:

Code: Select all

<div style="margin-left:15mm">
  Text ...
</div>

It is generated following (document.xml):

Code: Select all

. . .
<w:p>
         <w:pPr>
            <w:spacing w:after="0"/>
            <w:ind w:left="851"/>
            <w:jc w:val="left"/>
         </w:pPr>
         <w:r>
            <w:rPr>
               <w:b w:val="false"/>
               <w:i w:val="false"/>
               <w:color w:val="000000"/>
               <w:sz w:val="20"/>
            </w:rPr>
            <w:t>Text ...</w:t>

Hi Jason,

I am building a docx to pdf converter using docx4j for Appian. But when I deployed by jar in Appian Server it says "org.docx4j.openpackaging.exceptions.Docx4JException: Couldn't get .xml from ZipFile" at WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(inputStream).

This code is running fine as standalone java application when run from eclipse. Kindly suggest a solution

Hello Jason, I am now researching the feasibility of using docx4j to revamp our document generation system. There is a master document and a number of component documents. Depending on user inputs, the component documents may or may not be present in the master. The od:component tag seems to be a solution, but I cannot find an example of using it. Could you give some hints here? Do I need the paid extensions in order ...

A heads up that nightlies from http://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j- ... 140403.jar onwards require mbassador 1.1.10 jar, for the functionality committed at:

https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/commi ... 13d409ab58

See further https://github.com/bennidi/mbassador

You can get it from http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetail ... 0%7Cbundle

Largely because of this additional dependency, it is likely that the next release of docx4j (beta of which ...

I have been trying different things with content controls and docx4j. I added/removed couple of controls and now docx4j wont load the document anymore. Getting this error ar runtime.

org.docx4j.openpackaging.exceptions.Docx4JException: Failed to add parts from relationships'

This statement from the 'Getting started' guide caught my eye.

There is a limitation however: the xpath expressions are evaluated against the XML document as it was when first opened in docx4j. You can update the associated XML document ...
