News of docx4j

Hi Jason,

I am using docx4j jar for converting variables in a docx document and then converting it to pdf.

Below is the code public File generateDocument(InputStream inputStream, Map<String, String> params, String fileName, String tempDir) {
OutputStream os = null;
byte[] bytes = null;
File file;
Map<String, String> fields;
try {
tempDir = correctDirectoryPath(tempDir);
bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(inputStream);
file = new File(tempDir + fileName + this.formatter.format(new Date()) + ".pdf");
WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes));
VariablePrepare.prepare(wordMLPackage); ...

Hi!

I have just started to use your library in DOCX to HTML transformations and vice-versa and I can only say great job and thank you! Transformations are almost perfect ;)

But I have a problem that cannot resolve myself. Looking at the source code, I saw the following (ConversionHTMLStyleElementHandler):

// See XsltHTMLFunctions, which typically generates the String styleDefinition.
// In practice, the styles are coupled to ...

I have Highlighting text working just fine (see below). My question is, how do I provide a CUSTOM color for highlighting. The Highlight.class provides a small set of colors to choose from, and in my use-case, the "lightGray" color, E3E3E3 is much too dark. I'd like to provide something lighter, like EDEDED, or some other lighter gray. Is there a way to override or extend the colors available in Highlight.class?

Thank you in advance.

docx4j 6.1.1 was released today.

This is a minor release.

For Maven users, 6.1.1 is in the Central Repository now.

Otherwise, see https://www.docx4java.org/downloads.html

Docx4j 6.1.1 release notes

6.1.x will be our last releases which support Java 6. (The plan is that docx4j 8.x, when released, will require Java 8+, and so on. Easy to remember.)

API breaking changes have been avoided, so it should be easy to get your ...

Hello,

I am using a simple method based off the marshalling sample to replace some variables in a docx template. I am also using the same method to add in a List as well as a Table based off an ArrayList input. When I create the new document from the template without adding in the List and Table, the document copies perfectly, including the header and footer formatting and images. However, when I add in ...

Greetings,

I would like to iterate over all w:rPr elements, which may have more than one parent element. What is the best way to obtain a list of all RPr class instances? I had initially tried with ClassFinder but obtained an empty list. Would XPath work here? The Cheat Sheet linked from github README.md makes a warning about a limitation with the Jaxb API and XPath, but the sheet itself is nearly 6 years old ...

I want to copy the complete Header from the template docx file and replace with it the header from the main docx file.
At the moment I have no idea how to do this because I do not have much experience with docx4j.

Current code status for removing header:
final WordprocessingMLPackage wordProcessingPackageHeader = DocxUtils
.getWordProcessingPackage(DocxUtils.class.getResourceAsStream("main-document.docx"));
final RelationshipsPart relationshipsPart = wordProcessingPackageHeader.getMainDocumentPart().getRelationshipsPart();
final List<Relationship> relationships = relationshipsPart.getRelationships().getRelationship();

for (final Relationship r : relationships) {
if (r.getType().equals(Namespaces.HEADER)) { ...

Hi Jason,

when generating .fo files I noticed that the whitespace preserve function is not working.

Code: Select all

         
         // Handle empty case - want the block to be preserved!
         if (n.getChildNodes().getLength()==0) {
            
            ((Element)foBlockElement).setAttribute( "white-space-treatment", "preserve");
            foBlockElement.setTextContent(" ");
            
         } else {
            /*
             * ...
             */
            XmlUtils.treeCopy( n,  foBlockElement );
            
         }


I think it should be:


// Handle empty case - want the block to be preserved!
if (n.getChildNodes().getLength()==0) {

((Element)foBlockElement).setAttribute( "white-space-treatment", "preserve");
foBlockElement.setTextContent(" ");

} ...

I'm pleased to announce that docx4j 6.1.0 made its way to Maven Central over the weekend.

Thanks to all those who contributed. Contributors are listed in the changelog.

For Maven users, 6.1.0 is in the Central Repository at http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cdocx4j

Converting docx to html, I have an ordered numbered list with upper roman numbers (I. II.) that is being converted to a bullet list (UL) in html.

Adding the below line I get the OL element but with the wrong format, as the list has arabic numbers (1. 2.)
SdtWriter.registerTagHandler("HTML_ELEMENT", new SdtToListSdtTagHandler());

If I also add the below line, the list is almost visually correct, as I see the enumeration with the upper roman numbers, ...
