Hi,

I tried to compile this simple code, but I have a compilation error.

Code: Select all

import org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages.WordprocessingMLPackage;

public class CreateWordprocessingMLDocument {
   
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {               
      WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.createPackage();      
   }
   
}

Hello,

I have a template that contains both freeform text areas, drop down boxes, and date drop down boxes. Can I use docx4j to fill this template out with this mixed content? What are the examples on the site I need to be following?

Various respondents indicated an interest in the docx4all source code, which has required a username/password to access.

docx4all is Plutext's simple Swing-based docx word processor, which you can run as an applet or an application. (See demo pages elsewhere on this web site)

Anyway, the source code is now available for download.

If you do download/use it, and wish to discuss, please do so in the docx4all forum.

Hi Jason,

It's great to see the maven build work now, but there is a run time dependency missing batik-uil, you probably need to add the following to your pom file.

Hi all,

I have a requirement to parse a docx file, looking for user-supplied tags and substitute images or text.

As noted in the getting started guide, searching for text is problematic because the text could be broken across multiple runs.

I'm wondering if there's a way to (using Word) insert some sort of tag that's easy to parse for in the XML (using docx4j).

One possible solution I found: Insert a hidden HTML element. ...

Hi Guys,

Does docx4j support altChunk for inserting a docx file into another docx file? if yes can anyone post an example? if not yet, are we going to support this feature in near future?
