Unable to put added image to an anchor

[Alexander Teut]

I need to generate an image and put it to a specific position at Word document.

I'm using the following code (borrowed from ImageAdd example and the following conversation - docx-java-f6/how-to-create-a-floating-image-t1224.html):

Code: Select all

   public static Drawing newImageDraw( WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage,
                              org.docx4j.wml.ObjectFactory factory,
                              byte[] bytes,
                              String filenameHint, String altText,
                              int id1, int id2, long cx, long cy) throws Exception {
        BinaryPartAbstractImage imagePart = BinaryPartAbstractImage.createImagePart(wordMLPackage, bytes);
        Object anchorXml = XmlUtils.unmarshalString(generateXmlAnchor(4124325, 2847340));
        Anchor anchor = (Anchor) ((JAXBElement)anchorXml).getValue();

        Inline inline = imagePart.createImageInline( filenameHint, altText,
                id1, id2, cx << 4, false);
        org.docx4j.wml.Drawing drawing = factory.createDrawing();

        drawing.getAnchorOrInline().add(inline);
        drawing.getAnchorOrInline().add(anchor);

        return drawing;
    }
    private static String generateXmlAnchor(int x, int y){
        return generateXmlAnchor(x, y, generateAnchorId());
    }

    private static String generateXmlAnchor(int x, int y, int id) {
        String xmlAnchor = ""

        return xmlAnchor;
    }


Sadly, it doesn't work. The result document can't be opened by ms word. When I comment drawing.getAnchorOrInline().add(anchor); it works fine, but of course there's no anchor anymore.

I can't find any working example for an image anchored in a specified place using latest versions of docx4j. So, I still don't see any way to connect my generated image with Anchor. When I produce the document, it has broken XML state and nothing more.

Is there any working code that generated image and inserts it with anchor?

[jason]

Can you post an example of the broken docx to this thread?

[Alexander Teut]

The files are attached.

The Ok one is generated just by commenting the line

Code: Select all

drawing.getAnchorOrInline().add(anchor);

[Alexander Teut]

I've found a solution. I generate inline and then copy drawing to anchor.

It looks weird, but it works

Code: Select all

        BinaryPartAbstractImage imagePart = BinaryPartAbstractImage.createImagePart(wordMLPackage, bytes);
        Object anchorXml = XmlUtils.unmarshalString(generateXmlAnchor(left, top));
        Anchor anchor = (Anchor) ((JAXBElement)anchorXml).getValue();
        Inline inline = imagePart.createImageInline( filenameHint, altText,
                id1, id2, cx << 4, false);

        anchor.setGraphic(inline.getGraphic());
        org.docx4j.wml.Drawing drawing = factory.createDrawing();
        drawing.getAnchorOrInline().add(anchor);

In your sample docx, you have your w:drawing at the block level (ie as a sibling to paragraphs, tables).

It should be inline, for example:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

        <w:p >
            <w:r>
                <w:drawing>
                    <wp:inline distT="0" distB="0" distL="0" distR="0">

Word is just being permissive/forgiving accepting your input at all!

Usually, there'd only be 1 wp:anchor or wp:inline per w:drawing. I haven't checked whether it is legal to have more than one (as you have), or how Word behaves when you do this.
