Hello everybody,

it is the first time that I use doc4j to generate an Excel file from another Excel file (pseudo template file) in changing some values in some fields.

I have found an example in https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/commit/9dc7f5c4e303cfea4ec5b11e5700584d388034c5 and I have made some minor changes.

The program run correctly without crashing but the generated Excel file doesn't contains new values.

In the input template Excel file, some cells contains the following strings

#{ctc.BRAND-NAME}
#{ctc.TIRE-SIZE}

The goal ...

Hi. Is there a way in docx4j to convert fields to static text? This is the functionality that is provided for in Word when you press Ctrl+Shift+F9 with fields selected.

Thanks.

Here is what I'm trying to do with Docx4J 3.3.3
I would like to set values for 4 custom document properties in a DOCX file loading from byte in a database
Then force update the fields
Then export the docx file as a PDF.

Here is the code I'm using for the first 2 steps:

byte[] templateContent = template.content
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(templateContent)
WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = Docx4J.load(inputStream)
//set document properties
DocPropsCustomPart docProps = ...

I was accomplishing this in POI, but the ability to read Font type and size was not effective, and the research I did said docx4j was better at that.
My issues so far:
1. I can't get the text from a line(paragraph) consistently; the text is broken into multiple org.docx4j.wml.P/R/Text objects even though the 'line' is unbroken in the text
2. I am not getting the Font type and Size consistently; it is often null ...

Where can I find a glossary of the abbreviations that the Docx4j API uses, e.g. in class names like SdtPr?

I’m guessing that these are all part of a Microsoft API or Office Open XML or some other specification. I’m trying to get started with docx4j but I’m finding it hard to read the sample code because I don’t know what any of the names mean.

I have a template PPT with charts having default values. I used pptx4j to update the data and save it as a different file.

It's working fine. But the problem is that the data label alignment is messed up in the resultant file while it's proper in the template file.

Any help as to how to make the alignment proper would be of great help. Thanks in advance.

hello,

Im trying to save a docx file to an outputstream or a ByteArrayOutputStream. Im using the save method like this. Note that Im able to load the file, get the title and cusotm properties. Only the save doesnt works.

Code: Select all

WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage=null;

wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(is);

OutputStream os=null;
            
wordMLPackage.save(os);

I also tried like this:

Code: Select all

ByteArrayOutputStream memoryStream=null;

WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage=null;

wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(is);
            
wordMLPackage.save(memoryStream);

they are both failling. Worst than that I dont get any error, although Im ...

Hello,
I'm trying to access all of the style which are present in styles.xml.

Using :

Code: Select all

StyleDefinitionsPart sdp = wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getStyleDefinitionsPart();
List<Style> styleList = sdp.getJaxbElement().getStyle();
for (Style style : styleList) {
System.out.println(style.getName().getVal());
}

on a new almost empty docx, I've got this :

Code: Select all

Normal
Default Paragraph Font
Normal Table
No List

Whereas, in the styles.xml, I found
<w:lsdException w:name="Normal" w:uiPriority="0" w:qFormat="1"/>
<w:lsdException w:name="heading 1" w:uiPriority="9" w:qFormat="1"/>
<w:lsdException w:name="heading 2" w:semiHidden="1" w:uiPriority="9" w:unhideWhenUsed="1" w:qFormat="1"/>
<w:lsdException w:name="heading 3" ...
