Converting docx to pdf with phpword

[50l3r]

I want to convert a docx file to pdf

I put this line in bootstrap.php

define('PHPWORD_BASE_DIR', realpath(__DIR__));

And my code looks like this:

$FilePath = APPPATH."media/Documentos/Facturas/Factura ".$FacturaId.".docx";
$FilePathPdf = APPPATH."media/Documentos/Facturas/Factura ".$FacturaId.".pdf";

require_once APPPATH.'third_party/phpword/bootstrap.php';

$domPdfPath = realpath(PHPWORD_BASE_DIR . '/../vendor/dompdf/dompdf');
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererPath($domPdfPath);
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('DomPDF');

$phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($FilePath);
$pdfWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter( $phpWord, 'PDF' );
$pdfWriter->save($FilePathPdf);

But i got this error:

{"status":false,"error":{"classname":"PhpOffice\\PhpWord\\Exception\\Exception","message":"PDF rendering library or library path has not been defined."}}

I read info about this topic without results: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25563870/making-dompdf-as-my-pdf-writer-for-phpword

Try modify this line:

\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('DOMPDF'); //Try uppercase

I solved it but dompdf create a blank file: #1030

In my case this error was because of not right path to library.
