    Hi,



    Is it possible to convert a DOCX to a PDF without losing the line numbers? They're quite important so we can't afford to lose them.



    Thanks,

    Harry

    Hello,



    What do you mean by 'line numbers'? Please post a screenshot or a docx example.



    Regards.

    Hi again,



    To save some time, I will just show the code that generates it. If you NEED a screenshot/file, I will upload in due course.




    
    $lineNumberingOptions = array(
    
        'countBy' => 5,
    
        'start' => 1,
    
        'restart' => 'newPage'
    
        );
    
    $docx->addLineNumbering($lineNumberingOptions);


    Thanks,

    Harry

    Hi,



    I have uploaded the file here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/r7izks



    I edited the text to lorem ipsum as I cannot share, but it's only to show the line numbers.



    Thanks,

    Harry

    Hi,



    If you don't use Odfconverter to do the transformation:



    $docx->transformDocx('pages-word2-output-1-This-is-my-amazing-title.docx', 'example_text.pdf', null, array('odfconverter' => false));



    The PDF will include the line numbering. We're going to check OdfConverter to find any issue but this is a quick solution if your documents don't use complex tables.



    Regards.
