Class not found exception while trying to convert report to PDF about xdocreport HOT 5 CLOSED

It's a problem with POI, please post your question to POI forum.

from xdocreport.

looking at the stack trace of the exception, it seems more to me that it is an undefined dependency of package org.apache.poi.xwpf.converter.pdf which is one of the XDocReport packages not POI:

unfortunately XDocReport maven packages miss lots of such dependency definitions.

from xdocreport.

as I suspected the problem was wrong dependency, the docs say poi-ooxml v 3.9 but the code needs at least v 3.10.1, I used 3.11 successfully. so I would also update the docs

from xdocreport.

Doc is out of date for the version. I think it's a bad idea to set the version in the doc, because we must synch the doc with maven pom. I think it's better to set a link to the pom to know the version of POI

from xdocreport.

Actually a proper maven definition includes all the dependencies a package needs, so this (and all other packages needed) should have been a defined dependency of one of XDocReport packages which implements main Docx to PDF conversion.
