Inserting Page-Break results in a line break

[klausT]

Hi Jason,

We are following the advice from this post https://www.docx4java.org/forums/docx-java-f6/inserting-page-break-in-docx-file-through-docx4j-t431.html to add a page break after an AltChunk section. But this only results in a line break instead of a page break (please see attached the generated file).

We are using docx4j 11.3.2

This is the code:

Code: Select all

         // add empty line
         p = new P();
         ObjectFactory factory = Context.getWmlObjectFactory();
         Br br = factory.createBr();
         p.getContent().add(br);
         wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getContents().getContent().add(addPoint + 1, p);

         // Docu Text from Server
         wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addAltChunk(AltChunkType.Xhtml, docuText.getBytes(), addPoint + 2);
         
         // Add page break. See https://www.docx4java.org/forums/docx-java-f6/inserting-page-break-in-docx-file-through-docx4j-t431.html
         Br pageBreak = factory.createBr();
         pageBreak.setType(STBrType.PAGE);
         P para = factory.createP();
         para.getContent().add(pageBreak);
         wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getContents().getContent().add(addPoint + 3, para);


Do you have any idea what is going wrong?

Thanks, Klaus

Hi Klaus

In your docx, I see:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

but no <w:br> after it.

This will be because the code you found is incorrectly adding the br at the wrong level.

You need to add the Br to a run, so use:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

            // Create object for r
            R r = factory.createR();
            para.getContent().add( r);
                // Create object for br
                Br br = factory.createBr();
                r.getContent().add( br);
                    br.setType(org.docx4j.wml.STBrType.PAGE);

Thanks Jason for your support.
I just wanted to confirm that your proposal works.
