I am generating a word document by mapping xml file.

I am using opendope word add in to bind the content controls.

However,I am not able to edit the generated word document because the content is surrounded by content control. Word does not allow simple editing on content controls.

I actually have to remove content control from generated document and then edit the text. Its really a pain to delete each and every content control ...

Great library! Working well for me so far. I'm using the in-built functionality to map some "fields" (i.e. the ${TAG_NAME} syntax) in a template Word document to values derived from my underlying database. The technique I'm using for this is per the samples, i.e.

Code: Select all

Object obj = XmlUtils.unmarshallFromTemplate(xml, mappings);
XmlUtils.marshaltoString(obj, true);
content.setJaxbElement((org.docx4j.wml.Document) obj);

… and that works really well. What I want to do now is map some of my tag types to HTML. I've ...

I have added an XML-Map to an Excel-Spreadsheet (via the menu Developer->XML->Source) and mapped the elements to cells in my spreadsheet. The export function in Excel (Developer->XML->Export) gives me an XML file filled with the data from the cells the XML elements are mapped to.

Now I would like to do the same in my Java application with docx4j. Ist that possible?

I can see the xpath/cell mapping in the xlsx file in /xl/tables/tableSingleCells1.xml but ...

Dear Jason,

I have been using docx4j to build database report based upon data retrieved from a database. I am trying to build a table with dynamic content from the database. Because every field has a different length, every column needs to have a custom length. I have not been able to find a way to accomplish this. I have managed to get the data in the table by changing the createTable() method to accept ...

See http://www.docx4java.org/trac/docx4j/changeset/1684 for how to add an image to a slide.

Note this will need to be modified if you use anything earlier than today's nightly (which I'm still to create) or docx4j 2.7.1, since it is only from yesterday that BinaryPartAbstractImage.createImagePart has had a File signature. If you use byte, you'll be able to use this with earlier versions of pptx4j.

Hello,

After some time away from this project (and BTW I have gotten very good reviews from the first iteration), I'm trying to add more features to my pptx4j tool. I am starting with a PPTx as a template and using pptx4j to make custom and/or user-driven updates on the fly, generating a new PPTx.

At the moment, I'm concentrating on adding and replacing images, since I failed in getting this to work in version ...

I have tried a lot of libraries (PdfBox included) that either say they Merge or Concatenate pdf's but the only thing those libraries do is add the second pdf as a new page to the first. I have attached 3 files that will show what I am trying to do.
base.pdf is the itext Document that i have already started to dynamically generate. add.pdf is an example of the text i want to add. And ...

Jason, could you include in 2.7.1, the XMLRootElement ("smartTag") for CTSmartTagRun?

Code: Select all

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
...

@XmlRootElement(name = "smartTag")
public class CTSmartTagRun


Hi Jason,

I have finished the interface for Series in graphics but I need to make some tests (I was really busy).

I am currently working on images and I have seen that we must give an array of bytes in order to add pictures. So I provide you a little patch which allows user to give directly the image path. Then, image is not loaded in memory and there is an improvement of time ...

I have an application to create .docx files. It works perfectly fine on my local PC, but gives error on java-web-start:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/docx4j/fonts/Mapper

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.docx4j.fonts.Mapper

Application gives that error when I click my "create docx" button, other features(my gui, db connections..) still work fine. Clicking the button, application opens an existing docx file, adds a table to it and saves the file on my local PC.

Actually 'missing' class is there in docx4j-2.7.0.jar, ...
