DOCX interpretation
A forked dxpdf layer reads WordprocessingML and produces the document layout used by the bridge.
Rust document renderer
Convert DOCX with complex scripts in mind.
A DOCX-to-PDF renderer combining dxpdf layout with an enhanced Krilla backend and PDF Logical Unit V4 for Unicode text semantics, complex-script shaping, and high-fidelity output.
Rendering architecture
A modular path from OOXML to semantic PDF.
Renderer-neutral bridge
The Typsastra bridge translates layout into a dedicated rendering intermediate representation.
Enhanced output
Enhanced Krilla shapes complex scripts and writes visual PDF content with logical Unicode semantics.
Data flow
Clear stages make the renderer inspectable.
The architecture separates document interpretation, layout bridging, rendering intent, and PDF serialization so each boundary can be tested independently.
Current inspection is partial, not complete design verification. Some regions, typography, drawings, and complete overflow behavior remain pending.

# Rust stable toolchain required git clone https://github.com/Sovichea/typsastra-docx.git cd typsastra-docx cargo build -p typsastra-docx # Convert a document cargo run -p typsastra-docx -- input.docx output.pdf // Or call the Rust API let pdf = typsastra_docx::convert(&docx_bytes)?;
Quick start
Convert a DOCX from the workspace.
Clone the repository, build the command-line package, and provide input and output paths. Cargo fetches the pinned dependencies on the first build.
- use a new output path for inspection commands
- review the generated PDF in a compatible viewer
- call the byte-oriented API when embedding the renderer in Rust
The development CLI is not yet hardened as an untrusted-document service. Standalone distribution packaging is also pending.
