I am creating a document (from "scratch"). One intended use case is to render the document as a PDF on a (Linux) server without ever opening it in MS Word.When inserting fields (e.g. SEQ, REF, PAGEREF) in MS Word the resulting document includes a w:t element with the computed value of the field (e.g. "1" for SEQ, PAGEREF; "Bookmarked Text" for ref0. When building such a document in docx4j, do I need to add those ...

Can someone provide me a SIMPLE working example of how to setup and define a name on a cell?

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.

In most cases, after saving to file and open it with MS Excel the Excel App says it is broken and needs to be fixed. After fixing the sheet looks like it should.

After trying lots of thing I can't fix the following issue:

...

final File file = excelPath.toFile();

SpreadsheetMLPackage loadedFile = SpreadsheetMLPackage.load(file);

final WorksheetPart sheet = ...

Hello,

I'm facing an issue while performing PPTX manipulation.
The problem statement is to generate the table of contents, add N number of paragraphs (CTTextParagraph) into existing text container (txBody). The presentation will have the first paragraph to maintain style and formatting.

Approach:
1. Create the List<JAXBAssociation> for the first paragraph
2. Perform clone operation and create n number of paragraphs and add into new List
3. Get the txBody through xpathExpr and JAXBAssociation ...

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.

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 ...
