Docx4j DrawingML and VML (docx to PDF)

I am a bit new to Docx4j and "wordML".

I want to convert this docx to a pdf :

enter image description here

But my research showed me that drawingML and VML wasn't supported, at least yet.

like : http://www.docx4java.org/forums/pdf-output-f27/drawingml-vml-to-pdf-t949.html

Is it true ? Is there a way out of this problem with Docx4j or should I think of using another technology ?

Thanks in advance !

Solution

  • Generally speaking, docx4j’s PDF output is suitable for documents which contain paragraphs, tables and images. It can’t handle more exotic features, such as equations, SmartArt, or WordArt (DrawingML or VML).

    I used the openoffice api : https://angelozerr.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/how-to-convert-docxodt-to-pdfhtml-with-java/

    For who it may concern !!!
