Hello,

We don't recommend using the generatePDF method. It's a very old method that was replaced by the conversion plugin since phpdocx 4 (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin); as you have an Advanced license, please use the conversion plugin to transform DOCX to PDF.

If you still want to use that old method, we recommend you to hide deprecated messages in the PHP configuration; it's not an error but a deprecated notice. That deprecated messaged with PHP 7.2 was removed in phpdocx 8.

Regards.

actually getting an error now. my code:

require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/office/_libs/PHPDocx/classes/TransformDoc.inc';
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/office/_libs/PHPDocx/classes/CreateDocx.inc';


$docx = new TransformDocAdvLibreOffice();
$docx->transformDocument($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/office/_tmp/example_text5.docx', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/office/_tmp/example_text5.pdf');

 

ERROR:
Warning: rename(/home/snterp/public_html/office/_tmp/example_text5.pdf,/home/snterp/public_html/office/_tmp/example_text5.pdf): No such file or directory in /home/snterp/public_html/office/_libs/PHPDocx/classes/TransformDocAdvLibreOffice.inc on line 134

and no file is generated

Hello,

You need to install and configure the conversion plugin correctly, it seems there's some missing rw access; the rename error is a generic problem when the document can't be generated. Please read the information available on:

https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/conversion-plugin-installation-and-set-up

https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/common-problems-and-possible-errors

https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin/debugging-libreoffice

to install, debug and solve the most common issues.

After config the conversion plugin, we recommend (as the debugging page explains), to test it using PHP CLI mode.

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I figured it out. We needed to update libreoffice path in phpdocxconfig.ini file, which was kinda hard to find in any documentation
