    Moving forward, the issue involving the JRE not found error is likely a Ubuntu issue. Is it necessary to run the version of OpenOffice packaged with PHPDocx, or can I run the version packaged for our OS on with the correct parameters? This would simplify things.

    Hello,

    You can use any openoffice version, just indicate it's path to run openoffice as service.

    Regards.

    OpenOffice is now running launched by the commandline:
    soffice -headless -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -nofirststartwizard
    and responding on localhost:8100:
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    `ø'com.sun.star.bridge.XProtocolPropertiesUrpProtocolPropertiesFø3)F)¾#
    \!üC

    When we test by pointing a browser at
    phpdocx/examples/advanced/Transform.php
    it creates
    phpdocx/examples/advanced/example_text.docx. However, it does not create
    example_text.pdf, it displays a blank
    screen. We verified that the file does not exist.

    When I write my own version of this, the same thing happens: I create the
    .docx file on the server, and call transformDocx, which executes, displays a
    blank screen, and generates nothing.

    What is our next step in debugging the problem? Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Regards,
    -Len

    Hello,

    Please try creating an instance of this class: 'classes/TransformDocAdv.inc'. A simple example:

    $transform = new TransformDocAdv();
    $transform->transformDocument('from.docx', 'to.pdf');

    run it using PHP CLI and paste here any error or message.

    Regards.

    Hi,

    Len and I are working on this together. We created a simple test php program (tst.php, shown below), and copied the example_text.docx from the examples/docx directory to 'tst.docx'.

    Here's the output of displaying the tst.php program followed by running it. We have tried this with 4 different .docx files from the examples/docx directory, and they all produce the same result.

    Please advise.

    Thank you,
    Gary Hillerson and Len Burns

    Which version of openoffice are you using?.

    Seems:

    Exception in thread “main” com.artofsolving.jodconverter.openoffice.connection.OpenOfficeException: conversion failed: could not load input document

    DOCX files are not supported.

    hi

    I've a similar problem; but I don't get any error messages. It's the latest version of phpdocx

    my code is:
    $docx->createDocx('/tmp/example_header');
    $docx->enableCompatibilityMode();
    $docx -> transformDocx('example_header.docx','example_header.pdf');

    the docx is created fine but not the pdf file.
    my soffice -headless is up and running

    if I run the code 'java -jar <path to the jar> docx pdf on command line it works fine.

    if I run the above php code with php-cli it works fine.

    If I run the php file via web the docs is created but not the pdf. I changed the system call and added the second param. @system(command,$retval)
    The $retval is not zero which indicates an error, in this case 127. That could if I understand it correct be an indication of an permission problem.

    so I logged in with another user; who has the "other" permission. The above tests works fine with this user.



    any suggestions?

    HI Gary and Len,
