News of Plutext

I tried to get this working today with no success. I downloaded the subversion trunk tip, made it with maven, and used it in my project. It dies actually trying to load the ML document. Any of them I tried. Even trying to load the Invoice.docx, I get the following:

13.09.2010 14:40:35 *INFO * LoadFromZipNG:
For Relationship Id=rId2 Source is /word/document.xml, Target is ../customXml/item2.xml, type: http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/offic ... /customXml (LoadFromZipNG.java, ...

I see the WordprocessingMLPackage.load method, which works great when the docx is on disk.

Is there a way to create a WordprocessingMLPackage from a byte array instead of file?

I suppose I could create a memory-backed File, but that seems like a bit of a hack.

Hi Jason,

Currently WordprocessingMLPackage.load just accept File as it argument. In some cases, we need to passed in an inputstream, so should we have a signature which accept inputstream?

Hi all,

I am trying to modify header footer sample to have different images in both header and footer. In result, there are two different images in header and footer separately, but the picture of both images are the same! The image from footer is showing inside the image of header.

My code is based on Docx4j samples:

I added a line for creating Footer relationship ...

Hi all,

I am trying to add images inside header and footer. I just copy and pasted docx4j sample from:

http://dev.plutext.org/trac/docx4j/brow ... ooter.java

After running I am getting this exception:

Hi,

I tried to compile this simple code, but I have a compilation error.

Code: Select all

import org.docx4j.openpackaging.packages.WordprocessingMLPackage;

public class CreateWordprocessingMLDocument {
   
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {               
      WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.createPackage();      
   }
   
}

Eclipse gives me:

One of the main outcomes from the survey was the importance of PDF output to many users, and their need for extra features to be supported.

While the PDF output supports all basic document features, ie paragraphs, tables, images, headers/footers etc, there is a 'long tail' of things which can appear in Word documents which it doesn't support.

Features which aren't supported include:

- maths formulas (equations)
- Word Art
- shapes
- Smart Art ...

Hello,

I have a template that contains both freeform text areas, drop down boxes, and date drop down boxes. Can I use docx4j to fill this template out with this mixed content? What are the examples on the site I need to be following? I obviously want to keep my style parameters in the template, but for some of the places we expect bulleted lists to come in, and there can be any number of ...

As of now, docx4j can create, load and save OpenXML SpreadsheetML packages.

"Why would you use docx4j to do this", I hear you ask, "rather than POI, which focuses on xlsx and binary xls?"

Probably because you like JAXB (as opposed to XML Beans), or you are already using docx4j for docx or pptx, and need to be able to do some stuff with xlsx as well.

Another possible reason is that the jar XML ...

Several survey respondents said they'd like it if docx4j also supported xlsx.

This suggestion is now implemented in svn trunk tip.

I've created a new forum called xlsx4j; please post any detailed questions on this there.

cheers .. Jason
