Hi Jason,

I'm currently using org.docx4j:docx4j-JAXB-ReferenceImpl:8.3.1 to generate a document replacing variables.

I fetch the template (with placeholders) from a google drive using the export link for DOCX.

Code: Select all

public InputStream getDocumentByTitle(String title, String loggedInEmail) {
        try {
            credential = createGoogleApiService("drive", loggedInEmail);
            Drive service = new Drive.Builder(httpTransport, jsonFactory, credential)
                    .setApplicationName(applicationNames.get("drive"))
                    .build();
           
            Drive.Files.List files = service.files().list()
                    .setQ("mimeType != 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and trashed = false and 'xxx' in parents and name = '" + title + "'")
                    .setCorpora("allDrives")
                    .setSupportsTeamDrives(true)
                    .setIncludeTeamDriveItems(true)
                    .setFields(
                            "files(name, webViewLink, iconLink, exportLinks)");
           
            FileList documents = files.execute();
            if (documents != null && !documents.isEmpty() && !documents.getFiles().isEmpty()) {
                File file = documents.getFiles().get(0);
                ArrayMap exportLinks = (ArrayMap) file.get("exportLinks");
               
                if (exportLinks != null) {
                    String url = (String)exportLinks.get(DOCX_MIME);
                   
                    if (url != null) {
                        HttpRequest req = service.getRequestFactory().buildGetRequest(
                                new GenericUrl(url));
                        HttpResponse res = req.execute();
                       
                        if (res.getStatusCode() == 200) {
                            return res.getContent();
                        }
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }
        }catch(Exception ex){
            log.info("Error occurred while accessing Google API");
            return null;
        }
        return null;
    }


I then generate the doc and upload it back to google as a GDOC.

Code: Select all

private void upload(OpcPackage wordMLPackage, String title, String loggedInEmail) throws Exception {
   
        GoogleAppsUtils utils = new GoogleAppsUtils();
   
        String folderId = "xxx";
        com.google.api.services.drive.model.File fileMetadata = new com.google.api.services.drive.model.File();
        fileMetadata.setName(title);
        fileMetadata.setParents(Collections.singletonList(folderId));
        fileMetadata.setMimeType(GDOC_MIME);
       
        InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(getDocxAsByteArray(wordMLPackage));
   
        File file = new File("/tmp/output.txt");
        Files.copy(inputStream, file.toPath(), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
       
        utils.uploadToDrive(fileMetadata, new FileContent(null, file), loggedInEmail);
    }


Here is a portion of the template being used
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JcV ... sp=sharing

And here is the generated doc
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q1k ... sp=sharing

When you click on the hyperlink text it the template it finds the heading, but not in the generated document.

Thanking you in advance!!

In your template docx, you have



pointing at:



via the bookmark.

After your processing, that bookmark is missing, which is why you can't click the hyperlink to jump to it anymore.

I have just tested variable replacement using XmlUtils.unmarshallFromTemplate, and it preserves the bookmark elements (as expected).

So (unless your code is dropping them), it seems like Google Docs might be dropping it. You could confirm this by inspecting your docx immediately before you upload it.

A workaround might be to wrap the entire w:p in the bookmark, like this:



since maybe Google is only dropping empty 'point' bookmarks.

Thanks Jason - got this after some more searching
