Printing and Conversion Tools Installation
DocxFactory can only creates .DOCX files directly. To create .PDF, .HTML or other file formats, DocxFactory first creates a .DOCX file and then converts the file using conversion tools. Likewise to print, DocxFactory uses printing tools.
For the printing and conversion tools DocxFactory uses:
Open Office (or LibreOffice) on Linux.
Microsoft Office on Windows (Open Office can also be used on Windows as a free alternative).
Note: Installing printing and conversion tools is optional. If no printing and conversion tools are installed then you will still be able to generate .DOCX files but not print or save as other file formats.
Note: Open Office is not 100% compatible with Microsoft Word .DOCX file format meaning that it may not look exactly the same in Open Office and may never will even in future versions of Open Office simply because of the sheer size of the file format and all its different options. To get the best results it is recommended to use Microsoft Office for printing and converting.
Note: Future versions of DocxFactory will also support designing and creating Open Office .ODT files directly that will give the best results when printing and converting on Linux.
To use Open Office you will also need to install the Open Office SDK (see link below).

The ODF Converter Integrator is an add on for Open Office that greatly improves Open Office compatibility with Microsoft Office file formats. If you are using Open Office then it is highly recommended that you also install the ODF Converter Integrator (see link below).
