    Hi.

    Hi installed phpdoc the trial version to see if it fits my needs. I created a document, but when I save it and I ant to open it it tells me that the file is corrupt.

    If I download the file via FTP I don't get this error. I also noted that the downloaded file has a bigger size than the file via FTP

    I use the following code to perform a download

    =====

    header('Content-type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
        header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="document.docx"');
        header('Expires: 0');
        header("Content-Length: " . filesize('document.docx'));
        header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
        header('Pragma: public');
        ob_clean();
        flush();
        readfile('document.docx');

     Can you please give some help in how to solve this issue, its really blocking my evaluation of your software

    Kind regards Hans

    Hello,

    The most common problem when getting a corrupted DOCX is that your server is not returning a correct mime type or your server is adding information to the document.

    Please check the documentation available about how to download a DOCX file using phpdocx:

    https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/download-generated-docx

    phpdocx includes a createDocxAndDownload method to generate and download the documents, and you can try the alternative code available on the previous page. Premium licenses also include a stream mode to download the DOCX directly without saving the document to the filesystem.

    And also please check this recent issue and how it was resolved:
