Hi,

I'm trying to merge two documents into a new document. One of the documents has an embedded Excel spreadsheet as an OLEObject. If I remove the OLEObject, I can merge the files into a new file with no issues.

That being said, is there an sample file in the source code that illustrates this use case? Is it possible to do this in docx4j? If so, what specific code should I be using to ...

The samples (much appreciated) have helped me figure out 80% of what I need for my Word document creation tasks. However, the examples tend to focus on the steps to add objects/paragraphs sequentially. I'm having some difficulty figuring out an efficient way to insert new objects/paragraphs between existing objects. Thus far, the only approach I've come up with is to iterate over the Body Block Elements and identify (using an as yet unformulated technique) the ...

Hi all,

Is there a list of JARs that are needed to support docx4j? I'd like to keep my application's classpath relatively small so I was wondering if there was a list of the minimum amount of jars needed to support basic docx4j functionality.

Thanks!
Justin

Hi all,

I'm using docx4j in a web application and the application logs are getting littered with System.out.printlns? Are there any plans to remove those from the application?

If not, is the best way to deal with it simply to download the source and comment all the printlns and then build a new docx4j jar?

Thanks,
Justin

I'm trying to puzzle through how to add a header/footer to a document. Thus far I've figured out the complicated stuff but I'm stuck with something that should be simple: where do I get the rId that I need for the HeaderReference? So far, it looks like my only option is to add the HeaderPart to the MainDocumentPart then getOwningRelationshipPart().getRelationships().getRelationship() and iterate through the list checking for a target whose partName matches my HeaderPart and ...

I've tried "b2xtranslator", but it's offline and using C#, are there any good ways to convert doc to docx ?
thanks,jason.

Hi,

I updated my sources and noticed Eclipse is reporting an error in CustomXmlDataStorage.java. Any ideas why eclipse/jdk 1.6.0_13 is reporting:

The method setTextContent(String) is undefined for the type Node

?
The interface and method certainly seem to exist in the rt.jar.


public boolean setNodeValueAtXPath(String xpath, String value, String prefixMappings) throws Docx4JException {

try {
getNamespaceContext().registerPrefixMappings(prefixMappings);

Node n = (Node)xPath.evaluate(xpath, doc, XPathConstants.NODE );
if (n==null) {
log.debug("xpath returned null");
return false;
}
// *** ...

Hello,

this is a little off the topic but, as pptx and docx has the same architecture, is there a plan to add pptx conversions or manipulations in this library?

or a new project called pptx4j ?

or is there already a project like that?

Thanks,

Hello all,

firstly docx4j is a very nice lib, infact only lib to make docx -> pdf conversion afaik.

I want to convert docx to pdf, but the example that I find in the forum or in the project page is not exactly telling which docx4j version ( 2.0,2.1 .. ) is usd to convert with that example codes.

as 2.0 is not in maven, I am looking at http://dev.plutext.org/docx4j/ ...

Hi All,
