News of docx4j

Dear lovely, kind, righteous, gentle, brilliant, empathetic, sincere, truly helpful, prosperous readers,

Question 1:
Is there a way of finding out what the column number and or ruler position of a character is in a document?
In word each character has a column number attached to it which specifies its x-position (horizontal position) on a line .

Question 2:
Suppose I am writing a sentence to a word document. As I am writing it to ...

Dear lovely , kind, generous, blessed, prosperous readers,

So is there a way of finding out how many characters and spaces can fit into a line of word document given a certain font and font size and narrow margins etc?

I was thinking of finding out by trial and error but I figured before writing the code I may as well ask.

Thank you! and happy thursday!

I'm using docx4j 3.3.6 and I'm trying to compare the two attached docx file Issue_#34953_10123855.docx and Issue_#34953_10123853.docx with the code contained into CompareDocumentsTest.java;
the only difference between the 2 files is the text "FIN DE LA CLAUSE" inserted at the end of Issue_#34953_10123855.docx but the docx with the differences (OUT_CompareDocuments.docx) reports also that the same text has been before removed and then inserted.
Do you have any idea about this strange behavior ?

In our web application we use the bind method, which generates a lot of messages to stderr. Since we don't want all that stuff in the production app server's system.err log, I'd like to turn it off. But, I haven't figured out how to control it.

The rest of the app uses log4j and my understanding is that slf4j should be using the underlying log4j configuration. Here's my log4j2.xml file:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration> ...

So I am trying to figure out how to format a table with dotted lines borders where the dotted lines are blue in color.

But since there is no API I am not sure where to begin.

Thank goodness for code completion I was able to resolve this by trial and error but any API and some documentation would help, perhaps? (solution: STBorder.DASHED for CTBorder.setVal...)

Dear List and creators ,

Thank you for this lovely library. It has been very helpful and useful.

So I noticed a post from 2010 requesting an API. Apparently there is still no API that I can locate.

Would someone please help me locate the docx4j api please?
Just running javadoc on the source code ought to work, right? I could do it myself but it usually helps to have something like this available perhaps? ...

docx4j printed an exception(not throwed ) when just loading docx file . The program continued, but, it seems docx4j cann't handle ppr and rpr tags in /word/document.xml

test code:

Code: Select all

public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
        logger.info("size is  {}", DocxUtil.getAllElementFromObject(docxTemplate.getMainDocumentPart(), PPr.class).size());  // returns 0!!
        logger.info("size is  {}", DocxUtil.getAllElementFromObject(docxTemplate.getMainDocumentPart(), RPr.class).size());  // returns 0!!
        logger.info("size is  {}", DocxUtil.getAllElementFromObject(docxTemplate.getMainDocumentPart(), Text.class).size());
        logger.info("size is  {}", DocxUtil.getAllElementFromObject(docxTemplate.getMainDocumentPart(), P.class).size());
        logger.info("size is  {}", DocxUtil.getAllElementFromObject(docxTemplate.getMainDocumentPart(), R.class).size());
}

I'm trying to copy the paragraphs from one file to another.
Some of the paragraphs require some "processing" to morph the content
Others I just want to copy straight over.

I'm going through the content in the first file with a List of XWPFParagraph
List<XWPFParagraph> paragraphList = xdoc.getParagraphs();

For the paragraphs that I have to modify, I create a new P and add that to MainDocumentPart with addObject. These copy over fine since I'm not ...

I've seen this error discussed here before and have tried to follow what the issue is, but I don't understand:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/xml/bind/marshaller/NamespacePrefixMapper

farther down:

org.docx4j.jaxb.NamespacePrefixMapperUtils - JAXB: neither Reference Implementation nor Java 6 implementation present?

How would it not be present if it's running under 8.1? I can see the class in jre/lib/rt.jar

Obviously I'm missing something.

It works fine on my own system but two other developers have reported this error. Their classpath is ...

Hi all,
I'm using docx4j 3.3.6.
I've a docx file which contains both text on one column and text on two columns (OneColumnAndTwoColumns.docx).
When I try to convert docx into pdf using FO library (see Java code in docx2pdfFO.txt) the produced pdf file is contained into OneColumnAndTwoColumns_FO.pdf and the text that in docx was on one column is now on two columns.
When I try to convert docx into pdf using ...
