I want to convert a docx file to pdf using phpword
my code looks like this:
$FilePath = APPPATH."media/Documentos/Facturas/Factura ".$FacturaId.".docx";
$FilePathPdf = APPPATH."media/Documentos/Facturas/Factura ".$FacturaId.".pdf";
//DOCX TO PDF
require_once APPPATH.'third_party/phpword/bootstrap.php';
$rendererLibraryPath = PHPWORD_BASE_DIR . '/vendor/dompdf/dompdf';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererPath($rendererLibraryPath);
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('DomPDF');
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
//Load temp file
$phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($FilePath);
//Save it
$xmlWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord , 'PDF');
$xmlWriter->save($FilePathPdf, true);
But i generate an empty pdf file: LINK TO FILE
Paths are correct and .docx have content
I try with tcpdf render:
$rendererLibraryPath = PHPWORD_BASE_DIR . '/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererPath($rendererLibraryPath);
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('TCPDF');
and my pdf file have 2 pages without content: LINK TO 2ND FILE
Finally i found a free alternative solution installing libreoffice:
$FilePath = APPPATH."media/Documentos/Facturas/Factura ".$FacturaId.".docx";
$FilePathPdf = APPPATH."media/Documentos/Facturas/Factura ".$FacturaId.".pdf";
require_once APPPATH.'third_party/phpword/bootstrap.php';
$template = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor(APPPATH.'media/Plantillas/Factura/Factura.docx');
foreach($data as $key => $value){
$template->setValue($key, $value);
}
$template->saveAs($FilePath);
shell_exec($this->CI->config->item('libreoffice_exec')." --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir \"".$Path."\" \"$FilePath\"");
Calling soffice.exe CLI with this parameters:
soffice.exe --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir "C:/media/Documentos/Facturas/pdf" "C:/media/Documentos/Facturas/Factura1.docx";
