PDF generated from Docx lacks graphics and horizontal line

[alexand...@gmail.com]

Hey guys,

Fist of all thanks for your great work! I really like working with Xdocreport. But I ran into a problem, which I can't seem to fix.

I replace some placeholders in a template via Freemarker. The template was created with Office 2013. That works like a charm and the resulting Docx looks great. However when I create a PDF from it, some elements from the template are missing in the PDF:
- a watermark (please ignore the incorrect scaling in the template)
- a horizontal line
- a jpeg image (not in the attached template but I tried it)

Maybe it's a misconfiguration on my part. Here's my code:

ConvertibleOutputStream createPdfFrom(CreateDocRequest request) throws IOException, XDocReportException {

        IXDocReport report = XDocReportRegistry.getRegistry().loadReport(request.getTemplate(), TemplateEngineKind.Freemarker);

        IContext context = report.createContext();

        context.put("bill", request.getContents());

        ConvertibleOutputStream docx = new ConvertibleOutputStream();

        report.process(context, docx);

        XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(docx.toInputStream());


        PdfOptions options = PdfOptions.create();

        ConvertibleOutputStream pdf = new ConvertibleOutputStream();

        PdfConverter.getInstance().convert(document, pdf, options);


        /* This gives the same result:
        ConvertibleOutputStream pdf = new ConvertibleOutputStream();

        Options options = Options.getTo(ConverterTypeTo.PDF).via(ConverterTypeVia.XWPF);

        report.convert(context, options, pdf);
*/
        return pdf;
    }

ConvertibleOutputStream is a simple wrapper:

public class ConvertibleOutputStream extends ByteArrayOutputStream {
    //Craetes InputStream without actually copying the buffer and using up mem for that.
    public InputStream toInputStream(){
        return new ByteArrayInputStream(buf);
    }

    public long getLength() {
        return buf.length;
    }
}

Here's an excerpt from my pom.xml:

<properties>
    <xdocreport.version>1.0.5</xdocreport.version>
</properties>

<dependency>
    <groupId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport</groupId>
    <artifactId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport.document.docx</artifactId>
    <version>${xdocreport.version}</version>

    <artifactId>fr.opensagres.xdocreport.converter.docx.xwpf</artifactId>
    <version>${xdocreport.version}</version>
</dependency>

This is a Dropwizard app with embedded Jetty running on Java 8. The problem occurs on Windows 7 and Amazon Linux (CentOS). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Hi Alex,

Your problem is about our docx->pdf converter which is not perfect. It should be cool if you could attach your generated docx+pdf an dexplain more your problems in https://github.com/opensagres/xdocreport/issues

We wil try to fix your problem (if it's possible, because converter is very hard to developp) when we will find time.
