PDF layout is not as expected.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi all,

I used the sample code to generate a PDF document out of MS Word DOCX document. 
The PDF is generated fine. However, the font is not according as expected. It 
is bigger in the generated PDF document and the size of the document is 2 pages 
instead of 1 page. 

I am not really sure what to do to fix the issue and generate a single page PDF 
document that looks exactly like the attached word document. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the MS Word doc attachment
2. Run the code below to generate PDF

Code:
InputStream in=new FileInputStream(new File("C://Temp//xdoc-test.docx"));
        IXDocReport report = XDocReportRegistry.getRegistry().loadReport(
                in, TemplateEngineKind.Velocity);

        // 2) Create Java model context 
        IContext context = report.createContext();
        context.put("description", "Holla");
        context.put("agreement", "Amer");
        context.put("name", "Mori");
        context.put("last","Adams");
        context.put("imei","901232323");
        context.put("transactionId","445454545454");
        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File("C://Temp//xdoc-test_Out.pdf"));
        // report.process(context, out);
        Options options = Options.getTo(ConverterTypeTo.PDF).via(ConverterTypeVia.XWPF);
        report.convert(context, options, out);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is the same as the MS Word Document

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xdocreport: 1.04
iText: 2.1.7
poi: 3.9

Please provide any additional information below.

Your problem is about docx->pdf converter. Today Developping a docx converter 
is very hard and I have no time today to improve it.

Thank's for adding your docx. I will see that when I will have time.

I transformed the document to ODF. But I still have the same problem. 
Any recommendations about the layout of docx document? Is there something I can 
do to fix the issue?

Now your problem is about odt->pdf converter. As I said you, I have no time to 
improve it today.

I need to get this task done by this week. So my question is: is the issues 
going to be fixed anytime this week?

If not, then I might need to consider other solutions. 

Please let me know.

No it will be not fixed. We develop XDocReport in our spare time, so it's hard 
to find time as soon as possible.

You mean other solution than XDocReport?

Yes, other solution.

Ok, I suggest you to try to use other converter like docx4j, perhaps you could 
have better result?

If you wish to create your report with docx as template, it doesn't exist other 
open source project which done that. 

It seems that you wish to have quick support, so payed product like docmosis or 
aspose.word for java could be better for you.

> Hi, I have the same problem during converting odt to pdf

I suggest you create an other issue and you attach your odt as this issue is 
for docx.

> Did you find any solution? 

Your problem with odt is not the same than docx, because odt has not the same 
syntax than docx.

> Are you planning to manage with this problem?

I'm very busy for the moment. I don't know when I will have time to try to fix 
your problem.

Regards Angelo
