What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
 - A pdf file

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
  - POI 3.8, xdocreport-1.0.4.jar, itext2.1.7.jar

Please provide any additional information below.

Although POI is modifying doc, I think that process poi is adding some wrong, 
because I try convert to PDF i catch error.
If I open the document with microsoft office and remove image and insert the 
same image and save, after the process run fine.

This is a very old post. But still in 2020 i faced the same issue and i struggled to find a single answer. Hence thought of posting so that someone might get benefit.

I did a reverse engineer by going into the 3rd party jar where this error was occurring and added the "food" in respective Word document generator code that solved the pdf converter's hunger. :-)

Surprisingly, this issue was shown only to the word document that was created using Apache POI...! If you try to use a word document that was created using MS Office, there wont be any issue.. :-)

So, while we create table in a word document via POI, we need to add a line immediately after the createTable() statement

XWPFTable table = outputDoc.createTable(); table.getCTTbl().addNewTblGrid();

Hi, I am facing the same issue. But in my case I am using only paragraphs and images. Were you able to find the solution in those cases.

This is the complete error I am getting

Try upgrading to latest poi versions and see. Else, as i have mentioned above, you need to decompile the poi jar file and look at PdfConverter.java:71 to see why that error is occurring. Then find the function in poi that supplies that required item and use it (Sadly, not an easy task. but no other go)
