Generate PDF from .docx generated by PHPWord

问题

I am creating .docx files from a template using PHPWord. It works fine but now I want to convert the generated file to PDF.

First I tried using tcpdf in combination with PHPWord

$wordPdf = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($filename.".docx");

\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererPath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../Office/tcpdf");
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('TCPDF');

$pdfWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($wordPdf , 'PDF');
if (file_exists($filename.".pdf")) unlink($filename.".pdf");
$pdfWriter->save($filename.".pdf");

~~but when I try to load the file to convert it to PDF I get the following exception while loading the file~~

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'BadMethodCallException' with message 'Cannot add PreserveText in Section.'

~~After some research I found that some others also have this bug (phpWord - Cannot add PreserveText in Section)~~

EDIT

After trying around some more I found out, that the Exception only occurs when I have some mail merge fields in my document. Once I removed them the Exception does not come up anymore, but the converted PDF files look horrible. All style information are gone and I can't use the result, so the need for an alternative stays.

I thought about using another way to generate the PDF, but I could only find 4 ways:

Using OpenOffice - Impossible as I cannot install any software on the Server. Also going the way mentioned here did not work either as my hoster (Strato) uses SunOS as the OS and this needs Linux
Using phpdocx - I do not have any budget to pay for it and the demo cannot create PDF
Using PHPLiveDocx - This works, but has the limitation of 250 documents per day and 20 per hour and I have to convert arround 300 documents at once, maybe even multiple times a day
Using PHP-Digital-Format-Convert - The output looks better than with PHPWord and tcpdf, but still not usable as images are missing, and most (not all!) of the styles

Is there a 5th way to generate the PDF? Or is there any solution to make the generated PDF documents look nice?

回答1:

I used Gears/pdf to convert the docx file generated by phpword to PDF:

$success = Gears\Pdf::convert(
            'file_path/file_name.docx',
            'file_path/file_name.pdf');

You're trying to unlink the PDF file before saving it, and you have also to unlink the DOCX document, not the PDF one.

Try this.

$pdfWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($wordPdf , 'PDF');    
$pdfWriter->save($filename.".pdf");
unlink($wordPdf);

Try this:

// get the name of the input PDF
$inputFile = "C:\\PHP\\Test1.docx";

// get the name of the output MS-WORD file
$outputFile = "C:\\PHP\\Test1.pdf";

try
    {
    $oLoader = new COM("easyPDF.Loader.8");
    $oPrinter = $oLoader->LoadObject("easyPDF.Printer.8");
    $oPrintJob = $oPrinter->PrintJob;
    $oPrintJob->PrintOut ($inputFile, $outputFile);
    print "Success";
    }


catch(com_exception $e)
    {
    Print "error code".$e->getcode(). "\n";
    print $e->getMessage();
    }
