News of PDF output

When I add watermark to the docx file and convert it to PDF file using Docx4j programmatically, I find that the resulting PDF file does not have the which is in the docx file. If I use Microsoft Word to do the conversion, the PDF file has the watermark. Please advise whether there is any solution to this.

Hi Jason,

I was trying to convert the docx (which has tables inside tables) into pdf using the below code but in the generated pdf document tables inside tables are missing.
PFA documents for your reference.

PhysicalFont font = PhysicalFonts.getPhysicalFonts().get("Comic Sans MS");
fontMapper.getFontMappings().put("Calibri", font);
wordMLPackage.setFontMapper(fontMapper);
PdfConversion c = new Conversion(wordMLPackage);
// Writing the pdf to the output stream
String pdfFile ="D:/testFiles/test.pdf"
wordMLPackage.save(new File(pdfFile));
OutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdfFile);
PdfSettings pdfSettings = new PdfSettings();
pdfSettings.setWmlPackage(wordMLPackage);
c.output(os, ...

I've been using docx4j for a while and it's really amazing! but recently I encounter a problem that I cant fix.. :shock:

I use docx4j 3.0.0 via sbt, and I try to get some sample pdf output using such code

FOSettings foSettings = Docx4J.createFOSettings();
foSettings.setWmlPackage(wordMLPackage);

Mapper fontMapper = new BestMatchingMapper();
fontMapper.getFontMappings().put("Simsun", PhysicalFonts.getPhysicalFonts().get("SimSun"));
wordMLPackage.setFontMapper(fontMapper);

/*
for ( String name:PhysicalFonts.getPhysicalFonts().keySet() ){
Logger.info("found font:" + name);
}*/

OutputStream os ...

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with getting the table caption and border to output in PDF. I'm using docx4j 3.0.0 but I also had the same issue with 2.8.1.

I have a xhtml fragment generated by TinyMCE. I do some processing to get it the way docx4j wants it, and convert it to openXML using XHTMLImporterImpl.
I use the marshaller to get the docx format working and Docx4j.toPDF for the pdf format.
It works ...

Hi,

we are using a lot of textboxes to get text into various positions at our docx files. The problem seems to be that these are not recognized during PDF output. I receive the following error:

30.12.2013 13:43:08 *WARN * AbstractConversionContext: NOT IMPLEMENTED: support for w:pict; without v:imagedata (AbstractMessageWriter.java, line 46)

When browsing the document.xml, I found that word seems to implement textboxes as follows:


<w:pict>
<v:shapetype id="_x0000_t202" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="202" path="m,l,21600r21600,l21600,xe">
<v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/>
<v:path ...

I'm using docx4j 3.0.0 with Word 2010 and trying to convert a document to pdf using the following sample code, ConvertPDF

public boolean convert(WordprocessingMLPackage wMLP) throws Docx4JException {

// Font regex (optional)
// Set regex if you want to restrict to some defined subset of fonts
// Here we have to do this before calling createContent,
// since that discovers fonts
// String regex = null;
// Windows:
String regex = ".*(calibri|cour|arial|times|comic|georgia|impact|LSANS|pala|tahoma|trebuc|verdana|symbol|webdings|wingding).*";
PhysicalFonts.setRegex(regex);

// ...

I'm using latest docx4j-3.0.0 with fop-1.1
I programatically generate a document using docx4j.
I set the following document defaults when generating the document.

Code: Select all

Styles styles = dleReportMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getStyleDefinitionsPart().getJaxbElement();   
        DocDefaults docDefaults = styles.getDocDefaults();
        RFonts defaultRPrRFonts = docDefaults.getRPrDefault().getRPr().getRFonts();
        defaultRPrRFonts.setAscii(TIMES_NEW_ROMAN);
        defaultRPrRFonts.setHAnsi(TIMES_NEW_ROMAN);     
        defaultRPrRFonts.setCs(TIMES_NEW_ROMAN);


I then run the sample ConvertToPDF code to convert the document, I get no errors.
public boolean convert(WordprocessingMLPackage wMLP) throws Docx4JException {

// Font regex (optional)
// Set regex if you want to restrict to some ...

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your docx4j.

I am converting docx (which is having symbols and multiple languages like hindi,kannda,tamil,telugu ..etc) to pdf.
But DOCX is generating properly with all symbols and languages. But pdf is generating with #### characters instead of different language characters.

Below is my conversion code.

Mapper fontMapper = new IdentityPlusMapper();
wordMLPackage.setFontMapper(fontMapper);
PdfConversion c = new Conversion(wordMLPackage);
String pdfFile ="C:/123.pdf";
wordMLPackage.save(new File(pdfFile));
OutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdfFile);
PdfSettings pdfSettings = new PdfSettings(); ...

Hi All,

I want to generate PDF/A document from a docx file using DocX4J. As i have understood that DocX4j uses Apache FOP for pdf document generation. FOP offers the possibility to generate a pdf/a-b see http://www.mail-archive.com/fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org/msg08328.html

but i could not find any possibility using DocX4J? Is this functionality not being exposed or i am missing some information???

Thanks.
