G'day Word document lovers!

I'm using org.docx4j.Docx4J.toHTML() to convert a .docx file to HTML, but have become a tad saddened by how lists in the source .docx file are converted, especially nested lists. They come in as a single "flat" list, with inline styling that attempts to use indentation to reconstruct the nesting (*yuck!*). HTML directly supports nested lists (via nesting of <ol> and/or <ul> tags), and I'm a little surprised that the toHTML method ...

Hi All,

I tried to convert the attached .docx to .pdf (using Docx4J.toPDF(wordMLPackage, os);) but the alignment in pdf is not as the one in .docx.
Anything I have to adjust in the docx / code in order to generate a pretty pdf?

Appreciate your input.
Thanks.

Hello,

I have some strange behavior with finding merge fields in a table row. I have a Word docx with several tables, each with merge fields to define the table title, header titles and cell values.

The code works fine, but when ...

Hello, first to thank you guy, Docx2j is a very awesome artifact.
I use Docx4J.toFO to convert docx to png, it's fine when the original content is single page except is a bit slow.
It show the warning:"No filename information available. Stopping early after the first page." when I convert more pages, and only one page content is generated. I don't know how to provide filename information. I am really new to docx2j.

The second ...

I have a table which is right alligned in the docx template. when I merge it with XML the resulting docx file has proper alignment of all content containers but when saved as pdf the table is left aligned instead of being aligned to the right. And I also have border ...

I am trying to implement a Signature Block in a docx file using DocX4J. We have already implemented the rest of the document generation based on content using DocX4J and now we would like to add signature blocks. In docx a signature block looks like the following:

<w:p w:rsidR="00A82DB1" w:rsidRDefault="006071C7">
<w:r>
<w:pict>
<v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
<v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/>
<v:formulas>
<v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/>
<v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/>
<v:f eqn="sum ...

I created the repeating content controls as mentioned in this https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... nDoPE.docx file. But I am not able to merge XML data into the table. I can merge other field data but not the tabular. If I add data for the table in the XML I juts get the header row of the table in output docx file all other rows will disappear.

CTFFCheckbox c=new CTFFCheckbox();
run.getContent().add(factory.createcTFFDatacheckbox(c));

I'm building an application which reads in a docx template, modifies it, and then writes the modified docx file out. All that works fine. However, I also need to export it to pdf which is where the proverbial "wheels come off". I am using Mac OS X El Capitan and JBoss Developer Studio 9. The problem seems to involve fonts but I'm not sure what. One message that logs out is to delete the fop-font.cache ...
