Hi Jason,

last Friday I wrote a method which deletes an sdtElement in the first upcoming parent, which implements some kind of getContent method. I've done it using java reflections and looking for a method called "getContent" in the parent. Therefor it was neccessary to extend some classes with a getContent method.

Hey, sorry to back so soon.

I've got a document into which I added a repeat as described in the walkthrough, but whatever I do, I can't get it to repeat.
What I want to achieve is getting it to repeat without havind to dive into the xml and change some stuff.
It only ever fills in the content of the first entry but does not repeat.

What i do is select a word and ...

Hi,

Is it possible to set the size of a picture content control?
I have defined a picture control using the word developer ribbon, and bound it to an xpath in the customXml using the OpenDoPE AddIn. When I inject the base 64 encoded picture in the customXml, the control fits to the page width and does not keep it's original size.
I have tried various hacks, including inserting the picture control into a fixed-size ...

I am trying to get docx4j to work for me to create Resumes based on a template.
I adapted an existing resume and added content-control.
The first time I ran the ContentControlBindingExtension example using my files I got an exception stating that CTSmartTagRun did not have the @XmlRootElement annotation.
So I downloaded the source, added the annotation (@XmlRootElement(name = "CTSmartTagRun")) to the CTSmartTagRun.java class and rebuild the jar.

Than I ran the example again and ...

Hi, main question here is how do I go about replacing headers and footers in a document.. I've tried a couple of different options based on the examples.

First, copying header and footer from a document with header/footer to a document with none of these

public static void copyHeaderAndFooter(String sourcefile, String targetfile) throws Exception {
WordprocessingMLPackage source;
WordprocessingMLPackage target;
if (sourcefile.endsWith(".docx")) {
try {
source = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new File(sourcefile));
target = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new File(targetfile));

// Find ...

Hi,

I have not written the mentioned patch yet, but today I noticed that it would be very useful to have an CustomXmlElement interface as well (http://dev.plutext.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=617). I will try to do it exactly like the SdtElement Interface without the errors I made at this one.

As soon as I'm home I will start implementing it. Hopefully we can apply it soon... ;)

Hi there,

I am new in docx4j Java library.
I need it because I have to make text substitutions in Word templates using content controls.
The sample CustomXmlBinding.java is very useful to do this job!
Now I explain you my issue.

I created a docx Word template, adding some content controls.
After that I used Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit tool to bind the controls ( as explained here http://cultivatingcode.com/2010/10/13/generating-word-documents-p2/ ).
Unzipping the original and ...

Has anyone used the docx4j to deal with the merge fields from word 2003? If so, I'd be open to some tips and/or best practices.

I created a simple merge template using word 2003 and saved it as a docx. Here's an excerpt from the document.xml:

<w:p w:rsidR="000808B5" w:rsidRDefault="000808B5">
<w:r>
<w:t xml:space="preserve">But this third and last paragraph has a merge field named Biz right here: </w:t>
</w:r>
<w:fldSimple w:instr=" MERGEFIELD Biz \* MERGEFORMAT ">
<w:r> ...

Hello

I build my project with Maven.
Maven cannot find the jar file for dependency: org.apache.commons:commons-vfs-patched:jar:1.9.1
Looking at the Plutext repository, I cannot find version 1.9.1 of that library.
There is only version 1.1 and 1.1a.

Hello,

Could you tell me if the following scenario can be implemented with docx4j (I have tried without success) :
I have in my document a Picture content control linked to a file via an URL (I have selected "Link to File" when inserting my picture). The document does not contain the image data, but only the link.
I would like to bind it to an element from my custom XML file that contain an ...
