how to convert docx to pdf?

[sp2801]

Hi,

I am using this api to generate PDF from a word document. When my word document contains bold bullet point I am getting # in the output. Also, the indentation changes in the PDF. Just want to know what is this normal or I am committing some sort of mistake.

What version of docx4j?

If not 3.2.0, please try that.

If 3.2.0, you can attach your docx and I will take a look.

Thanks for your reply Jason. I will test this and let you know. I have attached the word document for the reference. I was using earlier version. Below is the code which I am using
Ones in Red are showing as Deprecated. Seems this can be the issue.

public void generatePDF(WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage, String fileName,String objectName,String baseLocation) throws Exception
{
inputfilepath = baseLocation + "Report/"+objectName+"/"+fileName;
wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new java.io.File(inputfilepath+".docx"));
org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.PdfConversion c = new org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.Conversion(wordMLPackage);
((org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.Conversion)c).setSaveFO(new java.io.File(inputfilepath+".fo"));
((org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.Conversion)c).setSaveFO(new java.io.File(inputfilepath + ".fo"));
OutputStream os = new java.io.FileOutputStream(inputfilepath.substring(0,inputfilepath.length()-2) + ".pdf");
c.output(os, new PdfSettings());
System.out.println("Saved " + inputfilepath + ".pdf");
}

Tested your docx with 3.2.0; looks ok to me.

The updated ConvertOutPDF sample uses Docx4J.toFO(foSettings, os, Docx4J.FLAG_EXPORT_PREFER_XSL)
but the older deprecated interface should still be fine.

Hi Shashank,

That public setter was added 19 August:

https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/commi ... c86a1fb131

and is in docx4j 3.2.0, so could you please double check you don't have an old docx4j jar on your classpath?

Since this involves com.plutext.merge.DocumentBuilder, if you continue to have problems, please contact support@plutext.com

Did you remove the old docx4j jar from your class path?
