I am trying to convert files with .docx extension to PDF using Java. I need to convert files with shapes and drawings in MS Word. Which libraries(open source or licensed) will serve the purpose?
Currently I have been using "org.apache.poi.xwpf.converter.pdf.PdfConverter" for the purpose, but it skips to convert the shapes or drawings in my Word Document. I am unable to test it using Aspose.words. Any help with that will also be appreciated.
The method I used for conversion is:
public static void createPDFFromIMG(String sSourceFilePath,String sFileName, String sDestinationFilePath) throws Exception {
logger.debug("Entered into createPDFFromIMG()\n");
logger.info("### Started PDF Conversion..");
System.out.println("### Started PDF Conversion..");
try {
if(sFileName.contains(".docx")) {
InputStream doc = new FileInputStream(new File(sSourceFilePath));
XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(doc);
PdfOptions options = PdfOptions.create();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(
new File(sDestinationFilePath + "/" + sFileName.split("\\.")[0] + ".pdf"));
PdfConverter.getInstance().convert(document, out, options);
doc.close();
out.close();
System.out.println("### Completed PDF Conversion..");
logger.info("### Completed PDF Conversion..");
logger.debug("Exited from createPDFFromIMG()");
return;
}
}
I expect the complete Word file to be converted to PDF, but the file converted using the mentioned Java library does not contain drawings or shapes present in the docx file.
