I'm working at a project and I really want to convert a docx file (placed on the server) to pdf through coldfusion. On the server is lucee installed. I have tried many, maaany things but I hope somebody knows the answer. (I'm also new to coldfusion, so this makes it even harder)
So what have I tried so far?
We already use a plugin called docx4j to automatically fill-in word documents and save them through cf. This works great so the plugin is also working. But if I try to run the following code:
pdffile = createObject("java", "java.io.File").init(Path_en_bestand_doel_pdf);
os = null;
document = createObject("java","org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages.WordprocessingMLPackage").load(createObject("java", "java.io.File").init(Path_en_bestand_oorsprong));
Docx4J = createObject("java", "org.docx4j.Docx4J");
fo = Docx4J.createFOSettings();
fo.setFoDumpFile(createObject("java", "java.io.File").init(Path_en_bestand_oorsprong & ".fo"));
fo.setWmlPackage(document);
os = createObject("java", "java.io.FileOutputStream").init(pdffile);
Docx4J.toFO(fo, os, Docx4J.FLAG_EXPORT_PREFER_XSL);
It gives an error "Exception exporting package". I have tried every combination of the examples I've found online. I have tried multiple older versions. But with no luck. (the hard part is that nobody tries to do it with javascript, but with java)
So after searching online I also found the coldfusion option cfdocument. In the documentation stands that it should be possible to convert doc (and I hope docx) to pdf. This is the code I run
<cfdocument
format="pdf"
srcfile="#Path_en_bestand_oorsprong#"
filename="#Path_en_bestand_doel_pdf#"
overwrite=true
pagetype="a4"
fontembed="true"></cfdocument>
The output for this, if we take a very simple docx file, is a big pdf file with lots of weird symbols. Looks like a character set problem, but could find anymore information how to solve this.
So does anybody have a clue what could be wrong? Or does anybody has an other solution how to simply convert a docx file to pdf?
I hope this is readable and that there is an answer to this. I have also included the error message for the first problem below:

After the answer given bellow I get a new error saying something about the fonts. (Could not initialize class org.docx4j.fonts.microsoft.MicrosoftFontsRegistry) I will try some things, but this is the full error:
