FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package pdf-converter

PDF Converter

PHP library to convert DOCX files to PDF using a local LibreOffice installation. Conversions run headless with isolated profiles and temporary directories, enabling concurrent executions with minimal conflict.

Requirements

PHP

PHP 8.2 or higher.
Composer 2.
proc_open enabled (used by symfony/process).

LibreOffice

The libreoffice or soffice binary must be installed on the system:

On Windows, install LibreOffice and configure the full path to soffice.exe.

Installation

Quick start

Existing files are not overwritten by default.

Configuration

Driver options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`binary`	`string`	`libreoffice`	Binary name or path.
`timeout`	`float`	`60.0`	Max conversion time in seconds.
`overwrite`	`bool`	`false`	Allow overwriting an existing PDF.
`processRunner`	`?ProcessRunner`	Symfony Runner	Advanced integration or testing.
`temporaryDirectory`	`?string`	System temp	Base directory for isolated files.

Error handling

All failures throw Michaeld555\PdfConverter\Exception\ConversionException:

Checked scenarios include missing/invalid source or destination, timeout, missing LibreOffice, process errors, and invalid PDF output.

API reference

`Michaeld555\PdfConverter\Converter`

Main facade. Uses LibreOfficeConverter when no driver is provided.

`Michaeld555\PdfConverter\Driver\LibreOfficeConverter`

Path rules

Source must be a local, readable .docx file (no URLs).
Destination must end in .pdf; its parent directory must exist and be writable.
Directories are not created automatically.

Custom drivers

Implement DocumentConverter to integrate other mechanisms (Microsoft Graph, internal queue, etc.):

Docker

Testing & quality

Integration tests require LibreOffice, pdfinfo (poppler-utils), and the ZIP extension. Use LIBREOFFICE_BINARY env var to set a custom binary for tests.

Troubleshooting

LibreOffice not found: Verify proc_open is enabled and set the binary path.
Timeout: Increase timeout for large documents or slow storage.
Wrong fonts: Install the document fonts and run fc-cache -f.
Permission denied: Check read/write access for origin, destination, and temp directories under the PHP process user.
File exists: Enable overwrite: true or choose another destination.

Security

No documents are sent to third parties.
No URL downloading; all input must be local.
Process arguments use a list (no shell command injection).
Output is validated to start with %PDF- before saving.
Temporary files use random names with restricted permissions.

Migration from 1.x

Before	After
`Converter::docx_to_pdf()` static method	`(new Converter())->convert()` instance method
PHP 8.0 minimum	PHP 8.2 minimum
Remote URLs accepted	Local files only
Destination could be a directory	Full path with `.pdf` required
Overwrite by default	Explicit `overwrite: true` required
FPDI, TCPDF, Office endpoint	Removed

The legacy Michaeld555\Converter::docx_to_pdf() adapter is available for gradual migration but is deprecated.
