Read and rewrited word2007 document and original document have a lot of differents

[dmitryfar]

When I read docx and then save it, it doesn't look like original document. It has no equal styles for text block and tables and there are new line breaks.
Example with simple tables:

    $objReader = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createReader('Word2007');
    $phpWord = $objReader->load("with_table_macros.docx");

    $phpWord->save("re_with_table_macros.docx");

Same bug:

$filling = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor($template); // $template file is docx
$filling->setValue('foo', 'bar');
$filling->saveAs($tempFile); // Save as docx, match perfectly

// Opening $tempFile (docx) to export in PDF (and in Word2007, html and odt to test)
phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($tempFile, "Word2007");
$xmlWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'PDF');
$xmlWriter->save($finalPDF);

$xmlWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$xmlWriter->save($finalWord);

unlink($tempFile);

Regardless of the exported format, the document loses its formatting (it's not the PDF lib) :

• No header
• No footer
• No tabulations
• No text style

It seems that the save processus for \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter isn't the same that \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor save processus.

My template filled is exactly the same and match perfectly! :)

Hopefully a fix soon :)
Many thanks guys!

PHPWord version dev-master 38cb04d

I don't know if the problem I was having was the same as this but this fixed the problem for me

#1043

I have the same problem

$PHPWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($filePath, "Word2007");
$sections = $PHPWord->getSections();
foreach ($sections as $section){
			// Add footer
			$footer = $section->addFooter();
			$footer->addPreserveText('Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}.', array('align'=>'center'));
}
$PHPWord->save($filePath);

this is changing completly the file, and all the style are missed. The footer is added

@Piuliss @kichetof please try with the dev-develop, parsing of docx document has been improved.

[Piuliss]

should I link to develop repo to composer?
because
composer require phpoffice/phpword:dev-develop
it is not working

[Piuliss]

@troosan finally I could install dev-develop version. Well, now styles look much better, but still are not perfect. Specially with margin and font sizes. I will take look in the code if I can fix it. Thanks.

@troosan I am using dev-develop and still experiencing this bug. The template processor can open and save the file without issues but using IOFactory causes the loss of all images, styles and header/footer formatting.

I also have this problem. Using IOFactory to load a .docx file and wanted to save it into type of html, but lost all the images. Dose this problem solved?

[Piuliss]

If you use the developer version of PHPWord, it solves it partially , for me still not acceptable. Unfortunately I have no time to take a look on the code to find the bug . I had to change to another library temporally.

@Piuliss OK thanks i'll try developer version later but can u tell me what library u are using now?

[ammarax]

No one fixed this?? is possible that nobody create an exporter from 2017 to 2020 from word to PDF starting from template object??
