Using docx4j to convert .docx to .pdf

Question

I'm trying to convert .docx files to .pdf files. Now I have the following code:

class DocxToPdf {
    fun convert(inputFileLocation: FileInputStream, outputFileLocation: FileOutputStream) {
        val wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(inputFileLocation)
        val mainDocumentPart = wordMLPackage.mainDocumentPart
        Docx4J.toPDF(wordMLPackage, outputFileLocation)

        outputFileLocation.flush()
        outputFileLocation.close()
    }
}

These are the versions:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.docx4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>docx4j-JAXB-Internal</artifactId>
            <version>8.3.4</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.docx4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>docx4j-JAXB-ReferenceImpl</artifactId>
            <version>11.4.6</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.docx4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>docx4j-JAXB-MOXy</artifactId>
            <version>11.4.6</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.docx4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>docx4j-export-fo</artifactId>
            <version>11.4.6</version>
        </dependency>

But when I run it, I'm only getting an empty pdf file. I also get the following stack trace:

What should I do more?

Answer 1

According to the doc, you should use one and only one of JXB dependencies:

Update your pom.xml to only keep docx4j-JAXB-ReferenceImpl then retry:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.docx4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>docx4j-JAXB-ReferenceImpl</artifactId>
        <version>11.4.6</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.docx4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>docx4j-export-fo</artifactId>
        <version>11.4.6</version>
    </dependency>
