Apache POI XWPFDocument to Pdf format

[Peter Margetiak <pe...@gmail.com>]

Hello devs!

I am developer, too and I want to intergrate your library into my 
project (comparing to other converter libraries give me best results)

But I found some kind of interesting bug in Docx to pdf converter, which 
I am not able to fix without your help.
I used sample code with explicitly changed font encoding to windows-1250 
(from page: 
https://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/wiki/XWPFConverterPDFViaIText)

// 1) Load DOCX into XWPFDocument
InputStreamin=newFileInputStream(newFile("HelloWord.docx"));
XWPFDocumentdocument =newXWPFDocument(in);

// 2) Prepare Pdf options
PdfOptionsoptions =PdfOptions.create().fontEncoding("windows-1250");

// 3) Convert XWPFDocument to Pdf
OutputStreamout=newFileOutputStream(newFile("HelloWord.pdf"));
PdfConverter.getInstance().convert(document,out,options);

Document .docx containts just characters:
Aáäbcčdďeéfghiíjklĺľmnňoóôpqrsštťuúvwxyýzž

Interesting is that on my Windows8 jdk7 it works without any problem - 
PDF is OK.
On my Ubuntu server oracle sun jdk7, it skip some characters and the 
results seems like:
Aáäbcdeéfghiíjklmnoóôpqrsštuúvwxyýzž

Please, can U tell me, what I am doing wrong?

I spend a lot of time on this problem.
Thank you very much for any help from U.

With best regards,
Peter Margetiak

You're better off loading from the File directly, it's lower memory than 
going via an input stream

None of these classes come from Apache POI, so I'm minded to blame one of 
those...

If you ditch all the XPWF bits, and just do it with plain text, does that 
work? My hunch is it's either a bug in the pdf library you're using, or 
you're missing some key fonts on your linux box
