docx documents cause only error when opening in Word

Ask questions on how to capture or convert web pages or HTML into images, CSV, PDF or DOCX documents as well on how to convert videos into animated GIF's using our API.

We create docx documents with the following function:

 

require('grabzit/lib/GrabzItClient.class.php');
// require("grabzit/config.php");

$grabzIt = new GrabzItClient("...xxx...");

$grabzIt->HTMLtoDOCX("some content here");

header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$GLOBALS{TSFE}->id.'.docx"');
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->content = $grabzIt->SaveTo();

 

Documents are saved but when a docx is opened Word shows " error when opening the document ..."

What can be wrong?

Please can you go to this page: https://grabz.it/html-to-word-docx-api.aspx

Then create a capture with the HTML in the box and open the file.

Does the error occur?

Also it doesn't look like $GLOBALS['TSFE'] is being output into the response.

The example from the API page causes the same error. $GLOBALS['TSFE']->content outputs the content correctly into the saved docx so that the docx can be opened with wordpad correctly. Only MS Word causes this error.

What is the html you are converting? Maybe that is the issue.
