Header & Footer are only applicable when printing pages, which is not the case for HTML.

...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-07 at 12:42You are using positionning settings reserved when you create a Word document from scratch using the library.
However, you are using PHPWord templating processing capability : that means the layout is driven by your Word document itself.
So, the placeholder itself must be centered in the template to be replaced by a centered image.
To illustrate, consider the code below (placed in any PHP code where TemplateProcessor class is available) :

As part of the implementation of an electronic signature function. I need to add the signature at a specific position in the Word document. The position however could vary from one document to another. The only potential solution to this seems to be having a signature placeholder which gets replaced with the signature.png once the document is signed.
Is this possible with the PHPWord package ? If not is there any package out there that can do this ?

QUESTION
So, I have the following scenario.
I am working on a system for academical papers. I have several inputs that are for stuff like author name, coauthors, title, type of paper, introduction, objectives and so on. I store all that information in a database. The user has a Preview button which when clicked, generates a Word asynchronously and sends the file location back to the user and that file is afterwards shown to the user in an iframe using Google Doc Viewer.
There's a specific use case where the user/author of the paper can attach a .docx file with a table, or a .jpeg file for a figure. That table/figure has to be included inside the final .docx file.
For the .docx generation process I am using PHPWord.
So up until this point everything works fine, but my issues start when I try to mix everything and put together the .docx file.
Approach Number One
My first approach on doing this was to do everything with PHPWord. I create the file, add the texts where required and in the case of the image just insert the image and after that the figure caption below the image.
Things get tricky though, when I try doing the same thing with the .docx table file. My only option was to get the table XML using this. It did the trick, but the problem I ran into was that when I opened the resulting Word file, the table was there, but had lost all of its styling and had transparent borders. Because of those transparent borders, afterwards when converting it to PDF the borders were ignored and the table info is just scrambled text.
Approach Number Two (current one)
After fighting with Approach Number One and just complicating stuff more, I decided to do something different. Since I already generated one docx file with the main paper information and I needed to add another docx file, I decided to use the DocX Merge Library.
So, what i basically did was I have three generated word files, one for the main paper information, one for the table and one for the table caption (that last one is mainly to not overcomplicated the order of information). Also, that data is not in the table .docx file.
Then I run this:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-17 at 14:33After a lot of attempts to fix it, I wasn't able to achieve what I wanted with PHPWord and the merging library I mentioned.
Since I needed to fix this I decided to invest in the paid library I mentioned in my question. It was an expensive purchase, but for those who are interested, it does exactly what was required and it does it perfectly.
The two main functions I required were document merging and importing of content to a .docx file.
So I had to purchase the Premium package. Once there, the library literally does everything for you.
