import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.STPageOrientation;

public class DocumentHelper {

     public static XWPFDocument getXwpfDocument() {
        XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();
        CTBody body = document.getDocument().getBody();
        if (!body.isSetSectPr()) {
            body.addNewSectPr();
        }
        CTSectPr section = body.getSectPr();
        if (!section.isSetPgSz()) {
            section.addNewPgSz();
        }
        return document;
    }

    }

Following code is using to generate the report

public void generateReport(ReportParameters reportParameters, OutputStream outputStream) throws XDocConverterException, IOException {
        val document = getXwpfDocument();
        createParagraph(document, "RESTRICTED", 12, CENTER, true, SINGLE);
        document.write(outputStream);
    }

When I am trying to deploy the application, I am getting this exception :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fr.opensagres.xdocreport.converter.XDocConverterException Any leads to solve the issue.

You can refer to this link: https://github.com/zkh152/xdocreport/issues/40 Summarize: Maybe you should try to upgrade dependencies -> itext -> version to 2.1.7
