News of Plutext

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

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

Various respondents indicated an interest in the docx4all source code, which has required a username/password to access.

docx4all is Plutext's simple Swing-based docx word processor, which you can run as an applet or an application. (See demo pages elsewhere on this web site)

Anyway, the source code is now available for download.

If you do download/use it, and wish to discuss, please do so in the docx4all forum.

Given a Text node (and/or its JAXBElement parent), is there any way to get the R node that it belongs to?

Hi Jason,

It's great to see the maven build work now, but there is a run time dependency missing batik-uil, you probably need to add the following to your pom file.

Code: Select all

<dependency>
      <groupId>batik</groupId>
      <artifactId>batik-util</artifactId>
      <version>1.6</version>                
</dependency>
