is there a good way to generate a PDF document on a Android device? I have a DOCX file as a Base.
I know that it is possible: here a very good app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wps.moffice_eng
they render it offline.
some ideas?
I already tried DOCX4J, and it is generating a DOCX file properly, how ever using the
WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage
to prepare the PDF it says:

This is the code I used:
// 2) Prepare Pdf settings
PdfSettings pdfSettings = new PdfSettings();
pdfSettings.setImageHandler(new ConversionImageHandler() {
@Override
public String handleImage(AbstractWordXmlPicture abstractWordXmlPicture, Relationship relationship, BinaryPart binaryPart) throws Docx4JException {
return null;
}
});
// 3) Convert WordprocessingMLPackage to Pdf
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(pdffile);
PdfConversion converter = new org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.Conversion(
wordMLPackage);
converter.output(out, pdfSettings);
Log.e("AndroidDocxToHtml", " PDF save done");
EDIT UPDATE:
It turned out that the docx2fo.xslt wasn't in the library at org\docx4j\convert\out\pdf\viaXSLFO\ inserting this file into the JAR I am getting now:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory
at org.docx4j.convert.out.pdf.viaXSLFO.Conversion.output(Conversion.java:231)
which is this line:
FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
and this import:
import org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory;
which seems to be a serious problem on Android, see here
EDIT UPDATE 2
just to be complete: adding the fop.jar containing the FopFactory it gives the following error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory.newInstance
Any Suggestions are welcome.
