pdf output does not match word

[fachhoch]

I tried pdf generation and never it created one similar to word , pdf is adding lot of minus signs, some places it removes the blank line .... etc.

does pdf works for all others? what is work around to make pdf right ?

You'll need to post your input docx (or preferably a simplified test case) and the resulting pdf.

"Lots of minus signs" doesn't sound normal...

The "dashes" actually look to be underlines, coming from an empty paragraph:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

    <w:p w:rsidRDefault="005A0D87" w:rsidP="005A0D87" w:rsidR="005A0D87" w:rsidRPr="00A73B79">
      <w:pPr>
        <w:rPr>
          <w:b/>
          <w:u w:val="single"/>
        </w:rPr>
      </w:pPr>
    </w:p>

This is because in the case of an empty paragraph, Conversion.java is adding a space:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

                        // Handle empty case - want the block to be preserved!
                        if (n.getChildNodes().getLength()==0) {
                               
                                ((Element)foBlockElement).setAttribute( "white-space-treatment", "preserve");
                                foBlockElement.setTextContent(" ");

Jason,

So, how to add a new line (blank one)?

Jasaon/Lucas,
any updates on this ? is this something whihc can fixed by overriding some method ?

You can work around this issue by removing the underline from the empty paragraphs in Word.

The correct fix will require a change to docx4j.
