Since the initial release of phpLiveDocx last week, one of the most common questions that I keep receiving via e-mail is:

How can I convert DOC to PDF in PHP?

Although it was not the original intention of phpLiveDocx to offer such file format conversion, it is very possible. In this post, I would like to present a little class, which does exactly that.

In a future version of phpLiveDocx, there will be an additional component called Tis_Service_LiveDocx_Convert, which will offer a more efficient method of document conversion. When this version is released, it will make redundant the code in this post, but until then, here is a really easy way to convert DOC to PDF in PHP.

Note: You can use this technique to convert between any supported template formats to any supported document formats, not just DOC to PDF.

Step 1: Download Zend Framework

Download Zend Framework 1.10 or newer. All source code mentioned in this post is in the directory /demos/Zend/Service/LiveDocx/MailMerge/convert/.

Step 2: Convert DOC to PDF

In this demo application, we use Zend_Service_LiveDocx_MailMerge to convert document.doc to document.pdf.

In a future version of the LiveDocx service, a converter component will be made available.

Consider the following PHP code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17

$mailMerge = new Zend_Service_LiveDocx_MailMerge();
 
$mailMerge->setUsername('myUsername')
          ->setPassword('myPassword');
 
$mailMerge->setLocalTemplate('document.doc');
 
// necessary as of LiveDocx 1.2
$mailMerge->assign('dummyFieldName', 'dummyFieldValue');
 
$mailMerge->createDocument();
 
$document = $mailMerge->retrieveDocument('pdf');
 
file_put_contents('document.pdf', $document);
 
unset($mailMerge);

The converted file has been saved at document.pdf.
