Export to PDF by using LibreOffice's binary
So far, a few PDF exporters have a bridge in PHPWord, but the output depending on the library can be a bit inconsistent (latest example to date: #2534, apparently).
With LibreOffice, we can use a script like the ones suggested in the official docs: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/guide/pdf_params.html
The documentation must be taken in account because the soffice binary might have several different versions, leading to a possible maintenance burden on the parameters depending on the versions.
(as example, on one of my project, I convert some OpenDocument files into PDF via this command: soffice --headless --convert-to pdf:writer_pdf_Export --outdir {{output}} {{input}} ).
Issue asked gently by @Progi1984 , so here it is 👍
will the project access merge requests? if so I would like to step in.
As far as i can see we need to define, which writer we use as a base (WordXXXX oder ODT) and then pass the result along libreoffice to write the actual file.
We could also add a small wrapper to the docs, which encourages users to use the prefered writer and then have a standalone document converter class, which could possibly be a standalone project.
Which solution is prefered?
