MailMerge Fields display problem

[swiki]

Hi,
i have Mail Merge Fields in my Microsoft Word document and i am trying to generate PDF document.

Problem is that in generated PDF are Mail Merge fields displayed in a wrong way. In Word, you can switch between views by ALT+F9.

So for example i have mail merge field
1.view : <<ContractNo>>
2.view : {MERGEFIELD ContractNo \* MERGEFORMAT}

If i try only to open Dotx and save it to PDF without any changes, in PDF i always get Mail Merge Fields showed like MERGEFIELD ContractNo \* MERGEFORMAT.
I want to show values of merge files, i think they are in w:t elements.

I attached word template and pdf...


My Code>

Code: Select all

   InputStream is = new FileInputStream( new File( this.filename ) );

   WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(is);
           
   // 2) Prepare Pdf settings
   PdfSettings pdfSettings = new PdfSettings();

        //String outfilename = this.filename.replace(this.extention,DocumentNo+"_"+timestamp+".pdf");
        String outfilename = (table+"_"+DocumentNo+"_"+timestamp+".pdf");
         
   // 3) Convert WordprocessingMLPackage to Pdf
   OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( new File( outfilename ) );
   PdfConversion converter = new Conversion( wordMLPackage );
   converter.output(out, pdfSettings);
