Hi,
I just found a bug, when trying to convert a docx file to a pdf file, which has before added newLines through the replaceText (with option parseLineBreaks) method. In MS Word 2006, the document looks fine. But when I try to save the document as an pdf, the new inserted newLines are ignored.


The problem only appears when using the replaceText method from Bulk Processing.
When I use the replaceVariableByText method from the CreateDoxcFromTemplate Class the exported pdf file looks fine.
I compared both word sources and indeed the resulting source code is different:
Bulk Processing:

<w:t xml:space="preserve">Herr<w:br/>Harry Bittner<w:br/>ImNebelloch 18<w:br/>71034 Böblingen</w:t>

CreateDoxcFromTemplate:

<w:t xml:space="preserve">Herr</w:t><w:br/><w:t xml:space="preserve">Harry Bittner</w:t><w:br/><w:t xml:space="preserve">ImNebelloch 18</w:t><w:br/><w:t xml:space="preserve">71034 B&#xF6;blingen</w:t>

I hope you can help me with a fixed for that.
Greetings
Michael

Hello,

Thanks for sending the requested information Your e-mail was replied two hours ago by the support team, this is a copy of the answer:

Thanks for sending the requested information. Please edit Classes/Phpdocx/Utilities/BulkProcessing.php and in the method replaceTextContents (around line 898), replace:

$stringDoc = str_replace('__LINEBREAK__', '<w:br />', $dom->saveXML());

by:

$stringDoc = str_replace('__LINEBREAK__', '</w:t><w:br /><w:t xml:space="preserve">', $dom->saveXML());

And try again, this change should fix the issue with LibreOffice and BulkProcessing when parseLineBreaks is enabled. The same change has been applied to the current testing branch.

Regards.
