https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3919/is-the-documentfactory-able-to-convert-docx-to-pdf<p>For a curernt application, we have the requirement to convert <em>.docx and </em>.doc files to a *.pdf file and append a page. Can this be done with the DocumentFactory or do we have to implement this by utilizing other tools?</p> <p>The Aspose API should be able to do that, but I couldn't find an example on the Jira page for the DocumentFactory.</p> <p>Edit - due to a <a href="https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2526/aspose-evaluation-only-message">related question</a>, I could answer it myself. Both scenarios are possible by utilizing Aspose directly.</p> <pre><code> Document doc = new Document("C:\\Users\\m.hoffmann\\Documents\\Die Kultur im Sudetenland.docx"); DocumentBuilder docBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); docBuilder.moveToDocumentEnd(); docBuilder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK); docBuilder.writeln("Dies ist ein Beispielausgabetext, welcher mit Aspose eingefügt wurde"); docBuilder.getDocument().save("C:\\Users\\m.hoffmann\\Documents\\asposeOutputEdited.pdf", SaveFormat.PDF); </code></pre>enWed, 14 Aug 2019 08:41:22 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3919/is-the-documentfactory-able-to-convert-docx-to-pdf/3920<p>Hi,</p> <p>This is pretty simple to convert doc/docx to pdf with the DocFactory, even if it is not its "first" purpose. Just consider the following unit test:</p> <pre><code> File docxToBeConverted = new File(TEST_DIRECTORY_RELATIVE_PATH + "/singleAppendedFileContinuous.docx"); DocumentTemplate docTemplate = DocumentTemplate.withTemplate(docxToBeConverted); docTemplate.setOutputFormat(DocFactoryConstants.PDF_EXTENSION); docTemplate.setOutputName("docxConvertedToPdf"); docTemplate.setOutputPath(TEST_DIRECTORY_RELATIVE_PATH); FileOperationMessage result = docTemplate.generateDocument(); File pdfFile = result.getFiles().get(0); assertThat(result.isSuccess(), is(true)); assertThat(result.getFiles(), hasSize(1)); assertTrue(pdfFile.isFile()); </code></pre> <p>Here we use the ch.ivyteam.ivy.addons.docfactory.DocumentTemplate Object which gets a template for doing the mail merge. As we only give a plain doc or docx without any mergefields and data to fill, the doc or docx remains untouched during the mail merge operation and the result is only saved as PDF.</p>Emmanuel CombaWed, 14 Aug 2019 08:41:22 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3919/is-the-documentfactory-able-to-convert-docx-to-pdf/3920
