Using TinyButStrong (TBS) to generate a PDF from a DOCX

1.9k views Asked by At

I have used TBS (TinyButStrong) for several PHP projects to generate DOCX or XLSX files based on a template.

I am now trying to popular a DOCX template with TBS and generate a PDF at the of the process. It this possible with TBS? It doesnt seem like it supports PDF but not sure if someone has found a plugin to help.

Thank you!

You can use tbs to generate docx or odt (better) and then convert to pdf using unoconv

unoconv can run either as a service or as cli

The conversion from docx do not believe can be done directly; you could convert to an intermediate format, such as .doc. In this I have no direct experience.

Using odt you would not have problems ... and you would have a pdf very close if not equal to that generated odt
