    Hello,

    We are an existing client and potentially an upgrade client, but
    before we shell out $199 for the upgrade we need to know if a
    particular problem / bug was resolved.

    ...

    The problem is that when saving documents that have a header, extra
    carriage returns are added. This makes the software unusable and we
    want to know if it is fixed. In that case we will gladly upgrade. If
    you need more details on exactly how the problem occurs we would be
    glad to provide that info.

    Hello,

    Please send to contact[at]phpdocx.com the most simple script that illustrates the issue (this is without doing external connections such as databases or webservices) and we'll check it. Also, please attach the DOCX output after you run this same script.

    Regards.

    Hello,
    Thanks for your DOCX samples. We have checked it and the problem is that the headers in your base document has external styles, so you just need to import them using the importStyles method:
     
    if(file_exists($file_path.'/BaseHeaderTemplate.docx')){
    try{
        $docx->importHeadersAndFooters($file_path."/BaseHeaderTemplate.docx");
        $docx->importStyles($file_path."/BaseHeaderTemplate.docx", 'replace');
    }
    catch(Exception $e){
        print_r($e->getMessage());
    }
}

     

    The importHeadersAndFooters method doesn't import external styles. 
    Regards.
