Plutext

Hi Jason,

I'm hoping maybe you can point me in the right direction. Our client uses an offsite printing service that reads printer codes out of old style "Print" fields. I have to create new print fields as I am building the batched word doc using MergeDocx. I can't see how to create a new print field in docx4j. My main issue is that I can't find any class for instrText. I believe if I had that I could make it work.

Here is an example of the xml:

Code: Select all

<w:p>
  <w:r>
    <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="begin"/>
  </w:r>

  <w:r>
    <w:instrText xml:space="preserve"> print 027"&amp;p14X@@@FORM=BAN000 </w:instrText>
  </w:r>

  <w:r>
    <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="end"/>
  </w:r>
</w:p>

In org.docx4j.wml.ObjectFactory, the method you want to use is:



or you should be able to unmarshall a string of XML representing the entire paragraph using XmlUtils.unmarshalString (don't forget to add a declaration for xmlns:w to it).

For anyone intersted.

Code: Select all

private void addPrintField(org.docx4j.wml.P par, String printCode) {
      
      try {
      
         org.docx4j.wml.R run;
         FldChar fld;

         // Create Field Begin
         run = objectFactory.createR();
         fld = objectFactory.createFldChar();
         fld.setFldCharType(STFldCharType.BEGIN);
         run.getContent().add(fld);
         par.getContent().add(0,run);   

         // Create Instr Text
         run = objectFactory.createR();
         Text text = objectFactory.createText();
         text.setValue(printCode);
         JAXBElement<Text> instr = objectFactory.createRInstrText(text);
         run.getContent().add(instr);
         par.getContent().add(1,run); 

         // Create Field End
         run = objectFactory.createR();
         fld = objectFactory.createFldChar();
         fld.setFldCharType(STFldCharType.END);
         run.getContent().add(fld);
         par.getContent().add(2,run); 

      } catch (Exception e) {
         log.error("addPrintField", true, e);
      }
