I'm using XML bindings with docx4j to generate word docx reports.

In some cases when the XML is big 2 MB ( 40000 lines ) the heap usage goes up 1-2 GB and it takes 50-60 minutes to generate report.
The slowest part is the binding: ( BindingHandler.applyBindings(templateWordPackage.getMainDocumentPart()); )

did a memory profiling:
The thread java.lang.Thread @ 0x79100a248 Thread-127 keeps local variables with total size 1,362,944,720 (84.19%) bytes.
The memory is accumulated in one instance ...

We are facing a situation where in some cases white spaces are included in the beginning or in the end of a Text element, like " test string ". And we want to preserve those spaces. We decided to put a "space preserve" in every Text element to solve that. Is there any problem with this strategy? Thanks a lot!

Hi Jason,

We now use the nightly build from 20121024 and it solves indeed some of the issues we asked (table row height, font in paragraph,...)
Great!

But after doing some testing we now have the following issues:
- The header and footer take the complete width of the page as before it was keeping the layout as applied in the docx.
- The table at the beginning of our page is put at the ...

Hi,

I have had a good look around but can't seem to find a way to programmatically update a table of contents. The only information I came across is to set a flag which forces an update on open, which does the job but due to the warning message it isn't as clean as I'd like. The documents I'm generating will be sent around to many people and I don't want to cause confusion with ...

Jason,

I am working with mergeFields in a docx document.
I am trying to replace a mergeField in a paragraph with a certain font, Century Gothic size 10. To do this I'm using the latest version of docx4j, 2.8.1.

After the mergeField is replaced the paragraph isn't fully Century Gothic size 10 anymore. The first style, stops after the replaced mergeField, is in Century Gothic size 10. The second part, start immediate after the replaced ...

The current post-2.8.1 nightly is http://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j- ... 121104.jar

This nightly uses the just released FOP 1.1, which has changed dependencies, so if you want to PDF output from the nightly, please use pom.xml from GitHub to get the dependencies, or download http://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j- ... APSHOT.zip

There is now also a nightly which is set up to use MOXy (that is, it has a jaxb.properties ...

Hi everyone,
I am performing text substitution, by replacing existing text with new text. While doing so i am deleting existing text completely from a text run. This results into the text run ending with a space, example : <w:t>This is </w:t>
After the word "is" there is a space which does not get displayed in the resulting docx.
When i manually add the property, xml:space="preserve" to this text run, the space gets displayed.
How ...

"the document contains fields that may refer to other files . Do you want to update"

This is the warning pop-up i`m getting while generating TABLE OF CONTENTS with below code ..

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why this error is being thrown?
In the code we found when it's thrown, but in our docx we don't see what could be wrong.
The pdf is however generated without problems.

Hi,

how to create a floating (as opposed to an inline) image with docx4j ? After loading the image as a binary part:

BinaryPartAbstractImage imagePart = BinaryPartAbstractImage.createImagePart(pkg, source_part, new File(filename));

the only function which can be called on that is createImageInline, which produces the image wrapped in an <inline> element not the <anchor> element like I would like it to be. Is it possible ?
