laravel 5.4，phpword：如何在不强制下载的情况下显示具有只读权限的单词doc？

Question

I'm new in laravel and I use phpword to edit a word doc file.

I want once I save it I can display it in read only permission.

I want to display it directly without forcing download.

I tried this code but it forces the download.

Here is my code :

  public function create()
  {
    $phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
    $section = $phpWord->addSection();
    //Ajouter l'image
    $section->addImage(
      'C:\wamp\www\Stage_2\public\images\mobilis256.png',
      array(
        'width'         => 100,
        'height'        => 100,
        'marginTop'     => -1,
        'marginLeft'    => -1,
        'wrappingStyle' => 'behind'
        ));
    $objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
    try {
      $objWriter->save(storage_path('helloWorld.docx'));
    }catch(Exception $e)
    {}
    $filename = 'helloWorld.docx';
    $path = storage_path($filename);
    return Response::make(file_get_contents($path), 200, [
      'Content-Type' => 'application/docx',
      'Content-Disposition' => 'inline; filename="'.$filename.'"'
      ]);
  }

i tried also

return response()->file(storage_path('helloWorld.docx'));

but always the same result.

what should I do, and how can i disply it in read only permission?

I got the solution finally so what I did was:

I saved the document as html file like this :

 $objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
    try {
      $objWriter->save(storage_path('helloWorld.html'));
    }catch(Exception $e)
    {}

Then using dompdf : https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf I convert the html file to pdf :

 return PDF::loadFile(storage_path('helloWorld.html'))->save(storage_path('helloWorldPdf.html'))->stream('download.pdf');

So like this I can preview the file without forcing the downloading and to not redo the work.

The final code look like this:

  use PDF;
  public function create()
  {
  $phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
  $section = $phpWord->addSection();
  //Ajouter l'image
  $section->addImage(
  'C:\wamp\www\Stage_2\public\images\mobilis256.png',
  array(
  'width'         => 100,
  'height'        => 100,
  'marginTop'     => -1,
  'marginLeft'    => -1,
  'wrappingStyle' => 'behind'
  ));
  // Saving the document as HTML file...
  $objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
  try {
  $objWriter->save(storage_path('helloWorld.html'));
  }catch(Exception $e)
  {}
  return PDF::loadFile(storage_path('helloWorld.html'))->save(storage_path('helloWorldPdf.html'))->stream('download.pdf');
  }

Just if you want to use domppdf to do this conversion do not do that :

After updating composer add the following lines to register provider in >bootstrap/app.php

$app->register(\Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class);

To change the configuration, copy the config file to your config folder and >enable it in bootstrap/app.php:

$app->configure('dompdf'); Here the explication of the kind of error you will get . https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf/issues/192
