Section Setting MarginTop Inneffective on DomPDF PDF

[soupwell]

As far as I can tell, the marginTop section setting has no effect when generating a pdf through DomPDF.

I've never submitted a bug on a community project before. I apologize if I have failed to use best practices. Please feel free to educate me.

<?php

require_once 'vendor/phpoffice/phpword/src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Autoloader::register();

$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();

$section = $phpWord->addSection();

$section->getSettings()->setMarginTop(5440);

$textrun = $section->addTextRun();

$textrun->addText('Test');

$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('test.docx');

$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'PDF');
$objWriter->save('test.pdf');

Hi @soupwell, You see the described behaviour because of lack of feature. We use intermediary conversion into HTML to get PDF document. Currently our HTML writer implements only basic functionality and doesn't support so called "Sections". Don't panic, it's not a bug.

Thanks for the feedback. :+1:

can I ask why marginTop and marginLeft is not working on addImage, I use 0.13.* version of PHPWord.

Sorry pal, I think you contacted the wrong person. I am not one of the developers of PHPWord.
