G'day Word document lovers!

I'm using org.docx4j.Docx4J.toHTML() to convert a .docx file to HTML, but have become a tad saddened by how lists in the source .docx file are converted, especially nested lists. They come in as a single "flat" list, with inline styling that attempts to use indentation to reconstruct the nesting (*yuck!*). HTML directly supports nested lists (via nesting of <ol> and/or <ul> tags), and I'm a little surprised that the toHTML method ...

Hi All,

I tried to convert the attached .docx to .pdf (using Docx4J.toPDF(wordMLPackage, os);) but the alignment in pdf is not as the one in .docx.
Anything I have to adjust in the docx / code in order to generate a pretty pdf?

Appreciate your input.
Thanks.

Hello,

I have some strange behavior with finding merge fields in a table row. I have a Word docx with several tables, each with merge fields to define the table title, header titles and cell values. To construct the table for merge I locate the row by looking for a merge field with a certain suffix. This way I can add rows for each record I need to merge.
The code works fine, but when ...

Hello, first to thank you guy, Docx2j is a very awesome artifact.
I use Docx4J.toFO to convert docx to png, it's fine when the original content is single page except is a bit slow.
It show the warning:"No filename information available. Stopping early after the first page." when I convert more pages, and only one page content is generated. I don't know how to provide filename information. I am really new to docx2j.

The second ...

I am trying to implement a Signature Block in a docx file using DocX4J. We have already implemented the rest of the document generation based on content using DocX4J and now we would like to add signature blocks. In docx a signature block looks like the following:

<w:p w:rsidR="00A82DB1" w:rsidRDefault="006071C7">
<w:r>
<w:pict>
<v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">

I want to add a checkbox replacing a bookmark.
I am able to replace a bookmark by text following the sample provided in github but how do we replace with a checkbox?
I tried with
run = factory.createR()
CTFFCheckbox c=new CTFFCheckbox();
run.getContent().add(factory.createcTFFDatacheckbox(c));

OpenMainDocumentAndTraverse is frequently referenced in the documentation and samples as the sample to see how TraversalUtil works.
However, it is missing from the samples directory and links to it are dead.
Where can it be found or where else is TraversalUtil explained?

Hi there.

Thanks for docx4j, I'm using it for a simple program so far and it work well.
Now it is time for slightly more complex program and a third project is in the pipeline.

The existing program was rather simple as I simply appended pictures and other content to the end of a template (actually a regular .docx).
For the second one I need to add pictures at various places inside a template document. ...
