    Im using Coporate 5.5. My code goes like this :

    if (isset($_GET['output']))
{
    if ($_GET['output'] == "pdf")
    {
        $docx->enableCompatibilityMode();
        $docx->createDocx('temp/Business Plan');
        $docx->transformDocument('temp/Business Plan.docx', 'temp/Business Plan.pdf');
    }
    else
     $docx->createDocxAndDownload('temp/Business Plan');
}
else
 $docx->createDocxAndDownload('temp/Business Plan');

    1. No PDF found in temp folder.

    2. Is there a transformDocumentAndDownload like in createDocxAndDownload ?

    Hello,

    Please follow the steps explained on:

    http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin

    to install and debug the conversion plugin.

    About transformDocumentAndDownload, there's no method. I have added a task to consider adding it, but it can be done easily using a PHP header, this is something like:

    header('Content-type:application/pdf');

header('Content-Disposition:attachment;filename="file.pdf"');

readfile('file_src.pdf');

    Regards.

    Im looking at http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/conversion-plugin-installation-and-set-up

    For example, type this configuration to use LibreOffice:

    Where ? Where is this file and what is the name of it ?

    Hello,

    It's explained on that same page:

    If you choose LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice, you must modify the config/phpdocxconfig.ini configuration file after installing the conversion plugin.

    Regards.

    Ok, thanks, I got to know where the file is.

    Im testing this on my localhost, I have temp_path, code, value set including

    method = "libreoffice"

    path = "/usr/bin/libreoffice"

    But now I get this :

    Warning: rename(temp/Business Plan.pdf,temp/Business Plan.pdf): No such file or directory in /home/username/www/3rdParty/phpdocx-corporate-5.5/classes/TransformDocAdvLibreOffice.inc on line 131

    I've chmod'd 777 the temp directory.

    The sample code at http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/running-the-first-example-and-available-options works in CLI mode. The rename error occurs only in the browser.

    I found out what the problem was. I had a space in the filename which was giving the error.

    $docx->enableCompatibilityMode();
$docx->createDocx('temp/Business Plan');
$docx->transformDocument('temp/Business Plan.docx', 'temp/Business Plan.pdf');

    Once I changed the name to Business-Plan, it all worked fine.
