Converting to pdf

[pascual]

Hello,

I'm trying to convert a docx file to pdf but it is not working. The document has text and images.
The command I'm using is:

Code: Select all

java -cp docx4j-2.8.1.jar:log4j-1.2.15.jar:xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar:commons-logging-1.1.1.jar:xalan-2.7.1.jar:fop-1.0.jar:commons-io-1.3.1.jar:serializer-2.7.1.jar:avalon-framework-impl-4.3.1.jar:avalon-framework-api-4.3.1.jar org.docx4j.samples.ConvertOutPDF myfile.docx

and the error I get is:

Code: Select all

Has anybody tried to save a pdf from a docxfile?

Thank you!

It should work.

To identify the problem, you'll need to upload as an attachment a docx exhibiting the issue, please.

I would recommend to check the xml inside the docx file. I did this every time i had similar problems as you did.
