Document

Inheritance: java.lang.Object, com.aspose.words.Node, com.aspose.words.CompositeNode, com.aspose.words.DocumentBase

public class Document extends DocumentBase

Represents a Word document.

To learn more, visit the Working with Document documentation article.

Remarks:

The Document is a central object in the Aspose.Words library.

To load an existing document in any of the LoadFormat formats, pass a file name or a stream into one of the Document constructors. To create a blank document, call the constructor without parameters.

Use one of the Save method overloads to save the document in any of the SaveFormat formats.

To draw document pages directly onto a Graphics object use renderToScale(int, java.awt.Graphics2D, float, float, float) or renderToSize(int, java.awt.Graphics2D, float, float, float, float) method.

To print the document, use one of the print(java.lang.String) methods.

getMailMerge() is the Aspose.Words’s reporting engine that allows to populate reports designed in Microsoft Word with data from various data sources quickly and easily. The data can be from a java.sql.ResultSet or an array of values. MailMerge will go through the records found in the data source and insert them into mail merge fields in the document growing it as necessary.

Document stores document-wide information such as DocumentBase.getStyles(), getBuiltInDocumentProperties(), getCustomDocumentProperties(), lists and macros. Most of these objects are accessible via the corresponding properties of the Document.

The Document is a root node of a tree that contains all other nodes of the document. The tree is a Composite design pattern and in many ways similar to XmlDocument. The content of the document can be manipulated freely programmatically:

  • The nodes of the document can be accessed via typed collections, for example getSections(), ParagraphCollection etc.
  • The nodes of the document can be selected by their node type using M:Aspose.Words.CompositeNode.GetChildNodes(Aspose.Words.NodeType,System.Boolean) or using an XPath query with CompositeNode.selectNodes(java.lang.String) or CompositeNode.selectSingleNode(java.lang.String).
  • Content nodes can be added or removed from anywhere in the document using M:Aspose.Words.CompositeNode.InsertBefore1(0,Aspose.Words.Node), M:Aspose.Words.CompositeNode.InsertAfter1(0,Aspose.Words.Node), M:Aspose.Words.CompositeNode.RemoveChild1(0) and other methods provided by the base class CompositeNode.
  • The formatting attributes of each node can be changed via the properties of that node.

Consider using DocumentBuilder that simplifies the task of programmatically creating or populating the document tree.

The Document can contain only Section objects.

In Microsoft Word, a valid document needs to have at least one section.

Examples:

Shows how to execute a mail merge with data from a DataTable.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.insertField(" MERGEFIELD CustomerName ");
 builder.insertParagraph();
 builder.insertField(" MERGEFIELD Address ");

 // This example creates a table, but you would normally load table from a database
 DataTable table = new DataTable("Test");
 table.getColumns().add("CustomerName");
 table.getColumns().add("Address");
 table.getRows().add("Thomas Hardy", "120 Hanover Sq., London");
 table.getRows().add("Paolo Accorti", "Via Monte Bianco 34, Torino");

 // Field values from the table are inserted into the mail merge fields found in the document
 doc.getMailMerge().execute(table);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "MailMerge.ExecuteDataTable.docx");

 // Create a copy of our document to perform another mail merge
 doc = new Document();
 builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.insertField(" MERGEFIELD CustomerName ");
 builder.insertParagraph();
 builder.insertField(" MERGEFIELD Address ");

 // We can also source values for a mail merge from a single row in the table
 doc.getMailMerge().execute(table.getRows().get(1));

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "MailMerge.ExecuteDataTable.OneRow.docx");

Document()

public Document()

Creates or loads a document. Creates a blank Word document.

Remarks:

A blank document is retrieved from resources, and by default, the resulting document looks more like created by MsWordVersion.WORD_2007. This blank document contains a default fonts table, minimal default styles, and latent styles.

M:Aspose.Words.Settings.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(Aspose.Words.Settings.MsWordVersion) method can be used to optimize the document contents as well as default Aspose.Words behavior to a particular version of MS Word.

The document paper size is Letter by default. If you want to change page setup, use Section.getPageSetup().

After creation, you can use DocumentBuilder to add document content easily.

Examples:

Shows how to format a run of text using its font property.


 Document doc = new Document();
 Run run = new Run(doc, "Hello world!");

 Font font = run.getFont();
 font.setName("Courier New");
 font.setSize(36.0);
 font.setHighlightColor(Color.YELLOW);

 doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(run);
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Font.CreateFormattedRun.docx");
 

Shows how to create and load documents.


 // There are two ways of creating a Document object using Aspose.Words.
 // 1 -  Create a blank document:
 Document doc = new Document();

 // New Document objects by default come with the minimal set of nodes
 // required to begin adding content such as text and shapes: a Section, a Body, and a Paragraph.
 doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));

 // 2 -  Load a document that exists in the local file system:
 doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");

 // Loaded documents will have contents that we can access and edit.
 Assert.assertEquals("Hello World!", doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getText().trim());

 // Some operations that need to occur during loading, such as using a password to decrypt a document,
 // can be done by passing a LoadOptions object when loading the document.
 doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Encrypted.docx", new LoadOptions("docPassword"));

 Assert.assertEquals("Test encrypted document.", doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getText().trim());
 

Document(String fileName)

accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)

public boolean accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)

Accepts a visitor.

Remarks:

Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

Calls DocumentVisitor.visitDocumentStart(com.aspose.words.Document), then calls Node.accept(com.aspose.words.DocumentVisitor) for all child nodes of the document and calls DocumentVisitor.visitDocumentEnd(com.aspose.words.Document) at the end.

Examples:

Shows how to use a document visitor to print a document’s node structure.

public Document deepClone()

Performs a deep copy of the Document.

Examples:

Shows how to deep clone a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.write("Hello world!");

 // Cloning will produce a new document with the same contents as the original,
 // but with a unique copy of each of the original document's nodes.
 Document clone = doc.deepClone();

 Assert.assertEquals(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getRuns().get(0).getText(),
         clone.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getRuns().get(0).getText());
 Assert.assertNotEquals(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getRuns().get(0).hashCode(),
         clone.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getRuns().get(0).hashCode());
 

Returns: Document - The cloned document.

deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)

public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)

Creates a duplicate of the node.

Remarks:

This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.

This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.

Examples:

Shows how to clone a composite node.


 Document doc = new Document();
 Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
 para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));

 // Below are two ways of cloning a composite node.
 // 1 -  Create a clone of a node, and create a clone of each of its child nodes as well.
 Node cloneWithChildren = para.deepClone(true);

 Assert.assertTrue(((CompositeNode) cloneWithChildren).hasChildNodes());
 Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", cloneWithChildren.getText().trim());

 // 2 -  Create a clone of a node just by itself without any children.
 Node cloneWithoutChildren = para.deepClone(false);

 Assert.assertFalse(((CompositeNode) cloneWithoutChildren).hasChildNodes());
 Assert.assertEquals("", cloneWithoutChildren.getText().trim());
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
isCloneChildrenbooleanTrue to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself.

Returns: Node - The cloned node.

ensureMinimum()

public void ensureMinimum()

If the document contains no sections, creates one section with one paragraph.

Examples:

Shows how to ensure that a document contains the minimal set of nodes required for editing its contents.


 // A newly created document contains one child Section, which includes one child Body and one child Paragraph.
 // We can edit the document body's contents by adding nodes such as Runs or inline Shapes to that paragraph.
 Document doc = new Document();
 NodeCollection nodes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true);

 Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.SECTION, nodes.get(0).getNodeType());
 Assert.assertEquals(doc, nodes.get(0).getParentNode());

 Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.BODY, nodes.get(1).getNodeType());
 Assert.assertEquals(nodes.get(0), nodes.get(1).getParentNode());

 Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, nodes.get(2).getNodeType());
 Assert.assertEquals(nodes.get(1), nodes.get(2).getParentNode());

 // This is the minimal set of nodes that we need to be able to edit the document.
 // We will no longer be able to edit the document if we remove any of them.
 doc.removeAllChildren();

 Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true).getCount());

 // Call this method to make sure that the document has at least those three nodes so we can edit it again.
 doc.ensureMinimum();

 Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.SECTION, nodes.get(0).getNodeType());
 Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.BODY, nodes.get(1).getNodeType());
 Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, nodes.get(2).getNodeType());

 ((Paragraph) nodes.get(2)).getRuns().add(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
 

expandTableStylesToDirectFormatting()

public void expandTableStylesToDirectFormatting()

Converts formatting specified in table styles into direct formatting on tables in the document.

Remarks:

This method exists because this version of Aspose.Words provides only limited support for table styles (see below). This method might be useful when you load a DOCX or WordprocessingML document that contains tables formatted with table styles and you need to query formatting of tables, cells, paragraphs or text.

This version of Aspose.Words provides limited support for table styles as follows:

  • Table styles defined in DOCX or WordprocessingML documents are preserved as table styles when saving the document as DOCX or WordprocessingML.
  • Table styles defined in DOCX or WordprocessingML documents are automatically converted to direct formatting on tables when saving the document into any other format, rendering or printing.
  • Table styles defined in DOC documents are preserved as table styles when saving the document as DOC only.

Examples:

Shows how to apply the properties of a table’s style directly to the table’s elements.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 Table table = builder.startTable();
 builder.insertCell();
 builder.write("Hello world!");
 builder.endTable();

 TableStyle tableStyle = (TableStyle) doc.getStyles().add(StyleType.TABLE, "MyTableStyle1");
 tableStyle.setRowStripe(3);
 tableStyle.setCellSpacing(5.0);
 tableStyle.getShading().setBackgroundPatternColor(Color.WHITE);
 tableStyle.getBorders().setColor(Color.BLUE);
 tableStyle.getBorders().setLineStyle(LineStyle.DOT_DASH);

 table.setStyle(tableStyle);

 // This method concerns table style properties such as the ones we set above.
 doc.expandTableStylesToDirectFormatting();

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.TableStyleToDirectFormatting.docx");
 

extractPages(int index, int count)

public Document extractPages(int index, int count)

Returns the Document object representing specified range of pages.

Remarks:

The resulting document should look like the one in MS Word, as if we had performed ‘Print specific pages’ \u2013 the numbering, headers/footers and cross tables layout will be preserved. But due to a large number of nuances, appearing while reducing the number of pages, full match of the layout is a quiet complicated task requiring a lot of effort. Depending on the document complexity there might be slight differences in the resulting document contents layout comparing to the source document. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Examples:

Shows how to get specified range of pages from the document.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Layout entities.docx");

 doc = doc.extractPages(0, 2);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.ExtractPages.docx");
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
indexintThe zero-based index of the first page to extract.
countintNumber of pages to be extracted.

     Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested tables.docx");
     NodeCollection tables = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true);
     for (int i = 0; i < tables.getCount(); i++) {
         Table table = (Table) tables.get(i);

         // Find out if any cells in the table have other tables as children.
         int count = getChildTableCount(table);
         System.out.print(MessageFormat.format("Table #{0} has {1} tables directly within its cells", i, count));

         // Find out if the table is nested inside another table, and, if so, at what depth.
         int tableDepth = getNestedDepthOfTable(table);

         if (tableDepth > 0)
             System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Table #{0} is nested inside another table at depth of {1}", i, tableDepth));
         else
             System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Table #{0} is a non nested table (is not a child of another table)", i));
     }
 }

 // Calculates what level a table is nested inside other tables.
 //
 // Returns An integer containing the level the table is nested at.
 // 0 = Table is not nested inside any other table
 // 1 = Table is nested within one parent table
 // 2 = Table is nested within two parent tables etc..
 private static int getNestedDepthOfTable(final Table table) {
     int depth = 0;
     Node parent = table.getAncestor(table.getNodeType());

     while (parent != null) {
         depth++;
         parent = parent.getAncestor(Table.class);
     }

     return depth;
 }

 // Determines if a table contains any immediate child table within its cells.
 // Does not recursively traverse through those tables to check for further tables.
 //
 // Returns true if at least one child cell contains a table.
 // Returns false if no cells in the table contains a table.
 private static int getChildTableCount(final Table table) {
     int childTableCount = 0;

     for (Row row : table.getRows()) {
         for (Cell cell : row.getCells()) {
             TableCollection childTables = cell.getTables();

             if (childTables.getCount() > 0) childTableCount++;

 // Microsoft Word documents by default come with an attached template called "Normal.dotm".
 // There is no default template for blank Aspose.Words documents.
 Assert.assertEquals("", doc.getAttachedTemplate());

 // Attach a template, then set the flag to apply style changes
 // within the template to styles in our document.
 doc.setAttachedTemplate(getMyDir() + "Business brochure.dotx");
 doc.setAutomaticallyUpdateStyles(true);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.AutomaticallyUpdateStyles.docx");
 

Shows how to set a default template for documents that do not have attached templates.

getBackgroundShape()

public Shape getBackgroundShape()

Gets the background shape of the document. Can be null .

Remarks:

Microsoft Word allows only a shape that has its ShapeBase.getShapeType() property equal to ShapeType.RECTANGLE to be used as a background shape for a document.

Microsoft Word supports only the fill properties of a background shape. All other properties are ignored.

Setting this property to a non-null value will also set the ViewOptions.getDisplayBackgroundShape() / ViewOptions.setDisplayBackgroundShape(boolean) to true .

Examples:

Shows how to set a background shape for every page of a document.


 Document doc = new Document();

 Assert.assertNull(doc.getBackgroundShape());

 // The only shape type that we can use as a background is a rectangle.
 Shape shapeRectangle = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.RECTANGLE);

 // There are two ways of using this shape as a page background.
 // 1 -  A flat color:
 shapeRectangle.setFillColor(Color.BLUE);
 doc.setBackgroundShape(shapeRectangle);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentBase.BackgroundShape.FlatColor.docx");

 // 2 -  An image:
 shapeRectangle = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.RECTANGLE);
 shapeRectangle.getImageData().setImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");

 // Adjust the image's appearance to make it more suitable as a watermark.
 shapeRectangle.getImageData().setContrast(0.2);
 shapeRectangle.getImageData().setBrightness(0.7);

 doc.setBackgroundShape(shapeRectangle);

 Assert.assertTrue(doc.getBackgroundShape().hasImage());

 PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
 saveOptions.setCacheBackgroundGraphics(false);

 // Microsoft Word does not support shapes with images as backgrounds,
 // but we can still see these backgrounds in other save formats such as .pdf.

 FileInputStream docStream = new FileInputStream(getMyDir() + "Word document with missing file extension");

 FileFormatInfo info = FileFormatUtil.detectFileFormat(docStream);

 int loadFormat = info.getLoadFormat();

 Assert.assertEquals(LoadFormat.DOC, loadFormat);

 // Below are two methods of converting a LoadFormat to its corresponding SaveFormat.
 // 1 -  Get the file extension string for the LoadFormat, then get the corresponding SaveFormat from that string:
 String fileExtension = FileFormatUtil.loadFormatToExtension(loadFormat);

 int saveFormat = FileFormatUtil.extensionToSaveFormat(fileExtension);

 // 2 -  Convert the LoadFormat directly to its SaveFormat:
 saveFormat = FileFormatUtil.loadFormatToSaveFormat(loadFormat);

 // Load a document from the stream, and then save it to the automatically detected file extension.
 Document doc = new Document(docStream);

 Assert.assertEquals(".doc", FileFormatUtil.saveFormatToExtension(saveFormat));

getPackageCustomParts()

public CustomPartCollection getPackageCustomParts()

Gets the collection of custom parts (arbitrary content) that are linked to the OOXML package using “unknown relationships”.

Remarks:

Do not confuse these custom parts with Custom XML Data. If you need to access Custom XML parts, use the getCustomXmlParts() / setCustomXmlParts(com.aspose.words.CustomXmlPartCollection) property.

This collection contains OOXML parts whose parent is the OOXML package and they targets are of an “unknown relationship”. For more information see CustomPart.

Aspose.Words loads and saves custom parts into OOXML documents only.

This property cannot be null .

Examples:

Shows how to access a document’s arbitrary custom parts collection.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Custom parts OOXML package.docx");

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());

 // Clone the second part, then add the clone to the collection.
 CustomPart clonedPart = doc.getPackageCustomParts().get(1).deepClone();
 doc.getPackageCustomParts().add(clonedPart);
 Assert.assertEquals(3, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());

 // Enumerate over the collection and print every part.

         System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tSourced from within the document, length: {0} bytes", customPart.getData().length));
     }
     index++;
 }

 // We can remove elements from this collection individually, or all at once.
 doc.getPackageCustomParts().removeAt(2);

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());

 doc.getPackageCustomParts().clear();

 Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());
 

Returns: CustomPartCollection - The collection of custom parts (arbitrary content) that are linked to the OOXML package using “unknown relationships”.

 builder.write("Page 1");
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
 builder.write("Page 2");
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
 builder.write("Page 3");

 // Verify the expected page count of the document.
 Assert.assertEquals(3, doc.getPageCount());

 // Getting the PageCount property invoked the document's page layout to calculate the value.
 // This operation will not need to be re-done when rendering the document to a fixed page save format,
 // such as .pdf. So you can save some time, especially with more complex documents.
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.GetPageCount.pdf");
 

Returns: int - The number of pages in the document as calculated by the most recent page layout operation.

getPageInfo(int pageIndex)

Examples:

Shows how to access a node’s parent node.


 Document doc = new Document();
 Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();

 // Append a child Run node to the document's first paragraph.
 Run run = new Run(doc, "Hello world!");
 para.appendChild(run);

 // The paragraph is the parent node of the run node. We can trace this lineage
 // all the way to the document node, which is the root of the document's node tree.
 Assert.assertEquals(para, run.getParentNode());
 Assert.assertEquals(doc.getFirstSection().getBody(), para.getParentNode());
 Assert.assertEquals(doc.getFirstSection(), doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParentNode());
 Assert.assertEquals(doc, doc.getFirstSection().getParentNode());
 

Shows how to create a node and set its owning document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
 para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));

 // We have not yet appended this paragraph as a child to any composite node.
 Assert.assertNull(para.getParentNode());

 // If a node is an appropriate child node type of another composite node,
 // we can attach it as a child only if both nodes have the same owner document.
 // The owner document is the document we passed to the node's constructor.
 // We have not attached this paragraph to the document, so the document does not contain its text.
 Assert.assertEquals(para.getDocument(), doc);
 Assert.assertEquals("", doc.getText().trim());

 // Since the document owns this paragraph, we can apply one of its styles to the paragraph's contents.
 para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");

 // Add this node to the document, and then verify its contents.
 doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para);

 Assert.assertEquals(doc.getFirstSection().getBody(), para.getParentNode());
 Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", doc.getText().trim());
 

Returns: CompositeNode - The immediate parent of this node.

 builder.writeln("Section 2 text.");

 // Both sections are siblings of each other.
 Section lastSection = (Section) doc.getLastChild();
 Section firstSection = (Section) lastSection.getPreviousSibling();

 // Remove a section based on its sibling relationship with another section.
 if (lastSection.getPreviousSibling() != null)
     doc.removeChild(firstSection);

 // The section we removed was the first one, leaving the document with only the second.
 Assert.assertEquals("Section 2 text.", doc.getText().trim());
 

Returns: Node - The node immediately preceding this node.

getProtectionType()

public int getProtectionType()

Gets the currently active document protection type.

Remarks:

This property allows to retrieve the currently set document protection type. To change the document protection type use the M:Aspose.Words.Document.Protect(Aspose.Words.ProtectionType,System.String) and unprotect() methods.

When a document is protected, the user can make only limited changes, such as adding annotations, making revisions, or completing a form.

Note that document protection is different from write protection. Write protection is specified using the getWriteProtection()

Examples:

Shows how to protect and unprotect a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "password");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 // If we open this document with Microsoft Word intending to edit it,
 // we will need to apply the password to get through the protection.
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.Protect.docx");

 // Note that the protection only applies to Microsoft Word users opening our document.
 // We have not encrypted the document in any way, and we do not need the password to open and edit it programmatically.
 Document protectedDoc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.Protect.docx");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, protectedDoc.getProtectionType());

 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(protectedDoc);

 // 1 - With no password:
 doc.unprotect();

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.NO_PROTECTION, doc.getProtectionType());

 doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "NewPassword");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 doc.unprotect("WrongPassword");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 // 2 - With the correct password:
 doc.unprotect("NewPassword");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.NO_PROTECTION, doc.getProtectionType());

 builder.write("Section 1. ");
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_CONTINUOUS);
 builder.write("Section 2.");

 Assert.assertEquals("Section 1. \fSection 2.", doc.getText().trim());

 // Remove the first section entirely by removing all the nodes
 // within its range, including the section itself.
 doc.getSections().get(0).getRange().delete();

 doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setCompany("Placeholder Inc.");

 doc.startTrackRevisions(doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getAuthor(), new Date());
 builder.write("Hello world!");
 doc.stopTrackRevisions();

 // This flag is equivalent to File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings... ->
 // Privacy Options -> "Remove personal information from file properties on save" in Microsoft Word.
 doc.setRemovePersonalInformation(saveWithoutPersonalInfo);

 // This option will not take effect during a save operation made using Aspose.Words.

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getRevisions().getCount());

 // Insert revisions show up in the document body even before we accept/reject the revision.
 // Rejecting the revision will remove its nodes from the body. Conversely, nodes that make up delete revisions
 // also linger in the document until we accept the revision.
 Assert.assertEquals("This does not count as a revision. This is revision #1.", doc.getText().trim());

 // Accepting the delete revision will remove its parent node from the paragraph text

 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field");

 // GetText will retrieve the visible text as well as field codes and special characters.
 Assert.assertEquals("MERGEFIELD FieldField\f", doc.getText());

 // ToString will give us the document's appearance if saved to a passed save format.
 Assert.assertEquals("Field\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
 

Shows how to output all paragraphs in a document that are list items.


 Document doc = new Document();

 Assert.assertEquals(theme.getMajorFonts().getEastAsian(), "");
 Assert.assertEquals(theme.getMinorFonts().getComplexScript(), "");
 Assert.assertEquals(theme.getMinorFonts().getEastAsian(), "");

 // The "Colors" property contains the color palette from Microsoft Word,

getTrackRevisions()

public boolean getTrackRevisions()

True if changes are tracked when this document is edited in Microsoft Word.

Remarks:

Setting this option only instructs Microsoft Word whether the track changes is turned on or off. This property has no effect on changes to the document that you make programmatically via Aspose.Words.

If you want to automatically track changes as they are made programmatically by Aspose.Words to this document use the startTrackRevisions(java.lang.String, java.util.Date) method.

Examples:

Shows how to work with revisions in a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Normal editing of the document does not count as a revision.
 builder.write("This does not count as a revision. ");

 Assert.assertFalse(doc.hasRevisions());

 // To register our edits as revisions, we need to declare an author, and then start tracking them.
 doc.startTrackRevisions("John Doe", new Date());

 builder.write("This is revision #1. ");

 Assert.assertTrue(doc.hasRevisions());
 Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getRevisions().getCount());

 // This flag corresponds to the "Review" -> "Tracking" -> "Track Changes" option in Microsoft Word.
 // The "StartTrackRevisions" method does not affect its value,
 // and the document is tracking revisions programmatically despite it having a value of "false".
 // If we open this document using Microsoft Word, it will not be tracking revisions.
 Assert.assertFalse(doc.getTrackRevisions());

 // We have added text using the document builder, so the first revision is an insertion-type revision.
 Revision revision = doc.getRevisions().get(0);
 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", revision.getAuthor());

 Assert.assertEquals(RevisionType.DELETION, doc.getRevisions().get(0).getRevisionType());
 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getRevisions().getCount());

 // Insert revisions show up in the document body even before we accept/reject the revision.
 // Rejecting the revision will remove its nodes from the body. Conversely, nodes that make up delete revisions
 // also linger in the document until we accept the revision.
 Assert.assertEquals("This does not count as a revision. This is revision #1.", doc.getText().trim());

 // Accepting the delete revision will remove its parent node from the paragraph text
 // and then remove the collection's revision itself.
 doc.getRevisions().get(0).accept();

 Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertEquals("This is revision #1.", doc.getText().trim());

 builder.writeln("");
 builder.write("This is revision #2.");

 // Now move the node to create a moving revision type.
 Node node = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(1);
 Node endNode = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(1).getNextSibling();
 Node referenceNode = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0);

 while (node != endNode)
 {
     Node nextNode = node.getNextSibling();
     doc.getFirstSection().getBody().insertBefore(node, referenceNode);
     node = nextNode;
 }

 Assert.assertEquals(RevisionType.MOVING, doc.getRevisions().get(0).getRevisionType());
 Assert.assertEquals(8, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertEquals("This is revision #2.\rThis is revision #1. \rThis is revision #2.", doc.getText().trim());

 // The moving revision is now at index 1. Reject the revision to discard its contents.
 doc.getRevisions().get(1).reject();

 Assert.assertEquals(6, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertEquals("This is revision #1. \rThis is revision #2.", doc.getText().trim());
 

Returns: boolean - The corresponding boolean value.

getVariables()

public VariableCollection getVariables()

Returns the collection of variables added to a document or template.

Examples:

Shows how to work with a document’s variable collection.


 Document doc = new Document();
 VariableCollection variables = doc.getVariables();

 // Every document has a collection of key/value pair variables, which we can add items to.
 variables.add("Home address", "123 Main St.");
 variables.add("City", "London");
 variables.add("Bedrooms", "3");

 Assert.assertEquals(3, variables.getCount());

 // We can display the values of variables in the document body using DOCVARIABLE fields.
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 FieldDocVariable field = (FieldDocVariable) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_DOC_VARIABLE, true);
 field.setVariableName("Home address");
 field.update();

 Assert.assertEquals("123 Main St.", field.getResult());

 // Assigning values to existing keys will update them.
 variables.add("Home address", "456 Queen St.");

 // We will then have to update DOCVARIABLE fields to ensure they display an up-to-date value.
 Assert.assertEquals("123 Main St.", field.getResult());

 field.update();

 Assert.assertEquals("456 Queen St.", field.getResult());

 // Verify that the document variables with a certain name or value exist.
 Assert.assertTrue(variables.contains("City"));
 Assert.assertTrue(IterableUtils.matchesAny(variables, s -> s.getValue() == "London"));

 // The collection of variables automatically sorts variables alphabetically by name.
 Assert.assertEquals(0, variables.indexOfKey("Bedrooms"));
 Assert.assertEquals(1, variables.indexOfKey("City"));
 Assert.assertEquals(2, variables.indexOfKey("Home address"));

 // Below are three ways of removing document variables from a collection.
 // 1 -  By name:
 variables.remove("City");

 Assert.assertFalse(variables.contains("City"));

 // 2 -  By index:
 variables.removeAt(1);

 Assert.assertFalse(variables.contains("Home address"));

 // 3 -  Clear the whole collection at once:
 variables.clear();

 Assert.assertEquals(variables.getCount(), 0);
 

Returns: VariableCollection - The collection of variables added to a document or template.

 // A VBA project contains a collection of VBA modules.
 VbaProject vbaProject = doc.getVbaProject();
 System.out.println(vbaProject.isSigned()
         ? MessageFormat.format("Project name: {0} signed; Project code page: {1}; Modules count: {2}\n", vbaProject.getName(), vbaProject.getCodePage(), vbaProject.getModules().getCount())
         : MessageFormat.format("Project name: {0} not signed; Project code page: {1}; Modules count: {2}\n", vbaProject.getName(), vbaProject.getCodePage(), vbaProject.getModules().getCount()));

 VbaModuleCollection vbaModules = doc.getVbaProject().getModules();

 Assert.assertEquals(vbaModules.getCount(), 3);

 for (VbaModule module : vbaModules) {
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Module name: {0};\nModule code:\n{1}\n", module.getName(), module.getSourceCode()));
 }

 // Set new source code for VBA module. You can access VBA modules in the collection either by index or by name.
 vbaModules.get(0).setSourceCode("Your VBA code...");
 vbaModules.get("Module1").setSourceCode("Your VBA code...");

 // Remove a module from the collection.
 vbaModules.remove(vbaModules.get(2));
 

Returns: VbaProject - A getVbaProject() / setVbaProject(com.aspose.words.VbaProject).

getVersionsCount()

public int getVersionsCount()

Gets the number of document versions that was stored in the DOC document.

Remarks:

Versions in Microsoft Word are accessed via the File/Versions menu. Microsoft Word supports versions only for DOC files.

This property allows to detect if there were document versions stored in this document before it was opened in Aspose.Words. Aspose.Words provides no other support for document versions. If you save this document using Aspose.Words, the document will be saved without versions.

Examples:

Shows how to work with the versions count feature of older Microsoft Word documents.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Versions.doc");

 // We can read this property of a document, but we cannot preserve it while saving.
 Assert.assertEquals(4, doc.getVersionsCount());

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.VersionsCount.doc");
 doc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.VersionsCount.doc");

 Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getVersionsCount());
 

Returns: int - The number of document versions that was stored in the DOC document.

 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.writeln("Hello world!");

 doc.getViewOptions().setViewType(ViewType.PAGE_LAYOUT);
 doc.getViewOptions().setZoomPercent(50);

 Assert.assertEquals(ZoomType.CUSTOM, doc.getViewOptions().getZoomType());
 Assert.assertEquals(ZoomType.NONE, doc.getViewOptions().getZoomType());

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "ViewOptions.SetZoomPercentage.doc");
 

Shows how to set a custom zoom type, which older versions of Microsoft Word will apply to a document upon loading.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.writeln("Hello world!");

 // Set the "ZoomType" property to "ZoomType.PageWidth" to get Microsoft Word
 // to automatically zoom the document to fit the width of the page.
 // Set the "ZoomType" property to "ZoomType.FullPage" to get Microsoft Word
 // to automatically zoom the document to make the entire first page visible.
 // Set the "ZoomType" property to "ZoomType.TextFit" to get Microsoft Word
 // to automatically zoom the document to fit the inner text margins of the first page.
 doc.getViewOptions().setZoomType(zoomType);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "ViewOptions.SetZoomType.doc");
 

Returns: ViewOptions - The corresponding ViewOptions value.

getWarningCallback()

public IWarningCallback getWarningCallback()

Called during various document processing procedures when an issue is detected that might result in data or formatting fidelity loss.

Remarks:

Document may generate warnings at any stage of its existence, so it’s important to setup warning callback as early as possible to avoid the warnings loss. E.g. such properties as Document.getPageCount() actually build the document layout which is used later for rendering, and the layout warnings may be lost if warning callback is specified just for the rendering calls later.

Examples:

Shows how to use the IWarningCallback interface to monitor font substitution warnings.


 public void substitutionWarning() throws Exception {
     Document doc = new Document();
     DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

     builder.getFont().setName("Times New Roman");
     builder.writeln("Hello world!");

     FontSubstitutionWarningCollector callback = new FontSubstitutionWarningCollector();
     doc.setWarningCallback(callback);

     // Store the current collection of font sources, which will be the default font source for every document
     // for which we do not specify a different font source.
     FontSourceBase[] originalFontSources = FontSettings.getDefaultInstance().getFontsSources();

     // For testing purposes, we will set Aspose.Words to look for fonts only in a folder that does not exist.
     FontSettings.getDefaultInstance().setFontsFolder("", false);

     // When rendering the document, there will be no place to find the "Times New Roman" font.
     // This will cause a font substitution warning, which our callback will detect.
     doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "FontSettings.SubstitutionWarning.pdf");

     FontSettings.getDefaultInstance().setFontsSources(originalFontSources);

     Assert.assertTrue(callback.FontSubstitutionWarnings.get(0).getWarningType() == WarningType.FONT_SUBSTITUTION);
     Assert.assertTrue(callback.FontSubstitutionWarnings.get(0).getDescription()
             .equals("Font 'Times New Roman' has not been found. Using 'Fanwood' font instead. Reason: first available font."));

             FontSubstitutionWarnings.warning(info);
     }

     public WarningInfoCollection FontSubstitutionWarnings = new WarningInfoCollection();
 }
 

Shows how to set the property for finding the closest match for a missing font from the available font sources.

     // Assign a callback for handling font substitution warnings.
     HandleDocumentSubstitutionWarnings substitutionWarningHandler = new HandleDocumentSubstitutionWarnings();
     doc.setWarningCallback(substitutionWarningHandler);

     // Set a default font name and enable font substitution.
     FontSettings fontSettings = new FontSettings();
     fontSettings.getSubstitutionSettings().getDefaultFontSubstitution().setDefaultFontName("Arial");
     fontSettings.getSubstitutionSettings().getFontInfoSubstitution().setEnabled(true);

     // Original font metrics should be used after font substitution.
     doc.getLayoutOptions().setKeepOriginalFontMetrics(true);

     // We will get a font substitution warning if we save a document with a missing font.
     doc.setFontSettings(fontSettings);
     doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "FontSettings.EnableFontSubstitution.pdf");

     Iterator warnings = substitutionWarningHandler.FontWarnings.iterator();

     while (warnings.hasNext())
         System.out.println(warnings.next().getDescription());

     // We can also verify warnings in the collection and clear them.
     Assert.assertEquals(WarningSource.LAYOUT, substitutionWarningHandler.FontWarnings.get(0).getSource());
     Assert.assertEquals("Font '28 Days Later' has not been found. Using 'Calibri' font instead. Reason: alternative name from document.",
             substitutionWarningHandler.FontWarnings.get(0).getDescription());

     substitutionWarningHandler.FontWarnings.clear();

     Assert.assertTrue(substitutionWarningHandler.FontWarnings.getCount() == 0);

 // Enter a password up to 15 characters in length, and then verify the document's protection status.
 doc.getWriteProtection().setPassword("MyPassword");
 doc.getWriteProtection().setReadOnlyRecommended(true);

 Assert.assertTrue(doc.getWriteProtection().isWriteProtected());
 Assert.assertTrue(doc.getWriteProtection().validatePassword("MyPassword"));

 // Protection does not prevent the document from being edited programmatically, nor does it encrypt the contents.

public boolean hasMacros()

Returns true if the document has a VBA project (macros).

Examples:

Shows how to use MACROBUTTON fields to allow us to run a document’s macros by clicking.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Macro.docm");
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 Assert.assertTrue(doc.hasMacros());

 // Insert a MACROBUTTON field, and reference one of the document's macros by name in the MacroName property.

importNode(Node srcNode, boolean isImportChildren)

public Node importNode(Node srcNode, boolean isImportChildren)

Imports a node from another document to the current document.

Imports a node from another document to the current document.

Remarks:

This method uses the ImportFormatMode.USE_DESTINATION_STYLES option to resolve formatting.

Importing a node creates a copy of the source node belonging to the importing document. The returned node has no parent. The source node is not altered or removed from the original document.

Before a node from another document can be inserted into this document, it must be imported. During import, document-specific properties such as references to styles and lists are translated from the original to the importing document. After the node was imported, it can be inserted into the appropriate place in the document using M:Aspose.Words.CompositeNode.InsertBefore1(0,Aspose.Words.Node) or M:Aspose.Words.CompositeNode.InsertAfter1(0,Aspose.Words.Node).

If the source node already belongs to the destination document, then simply a deep clone of the source node is created.

Examples:

Shows how to import a node from one document to another.


 Document srcDoc = new Document();
 Document dstDoc = new Document();

 srcDoc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(
         new Run(srcDoc, "Source document first paragraph text."));
 dstDoc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(
         new Run(dstDoc, "Destination document first paragraph text."));

 // Every node has a parent document, which is the document that contains the node.
 // Inserting a node into a document that the node does not belong to will throw an exception.
 Assert.assertNotEquals(dstDoc, srcDoc.getFirstSection().getDocument());
 Assert.assertThrows(IllegalArgumentException.class, () -> dstDoc.appendChild(srcDoc.getFirstSection()));

 // Use the ImportNode method to create a copy of a node, which will have the document
 // that called the ImportNode method set as its new owner document.
 Section importedSection = (Section) dstDoc.importNode(srcDoc.getFirstSection(), true);

 Assert.assertEquals(dstDoc, importedSection.getDocument());

 // We can now insert the node into the document.
 dstDoc.appendChild(importedSection);

 Assert.assertEquals("Destination document first paragraph text.\r\nSource document first paragraph text.\r\n",
         dstDoc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
srcNodeNodeThe node being imported.
isImportChildrenbooleantrue to import all child nodes recursively; otherwise, false .

Returns: Node - The cloned node that belongs to the current document.

importNode(Node srcNode, boolean isImportChildren, int importFormatMode)

public Node importNode(Node srcNode, boolean isImportChildren, int importFormatMode)

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
srcNodeNode
isImportChildrenboolean
importFormatModeint

Returns: Node

indexOf(Node child)

public int indexOf(Node child)

Returns the index of the specified child node in the child node array.

Remarks:

Returns -1 if the node is not found in the child nodes.

Examples:

joinRunsWithSameFormatting()

public int joinRunsWithSameFormatting()

Joins runs with same formatting in all paragraphs of the document.

Remarks:

This is an optimization method. Some documents contain adjacent runs with same formatting. Usually this occurs if a document was intensively edited manually. You can reduce the document size and speed up further processing by joining these runs.

The operation checks every Paragraph node in the document for adjacent Run nodes having identical properties. It ignores unique identifiers used to track editing sessions of run creation and modification. First run in every joining sequence accumulates all text. Remaining runs are deleted from the document.

Examples:

Shows how to join runs in a document to reduce unneeded runs.


 // Open a document that contains adjacent runs of text with identical formatting,
 // which commonly occurs if we edit the same paragraph multiple times in Microsoft Word.
 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

 // If any number of these runs are adjacent with identical formatting,
 // then the document may be simplified.
 Assert.assertEquals(317, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true).getCount());

 // Combine such runs with this method and verify the number of run joins that will take place.
 Assert.assertEquals(121, doc.joinRunsWithSameFormatting());

 // The number of joins and the number of runs we have after the join
 // should add up the number of runs we had initially.
 Assert.assertEquals(196, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true).getCount());
 

Returns: int - Number of joins performed. When N adjacent runs are being joined they count as N - 1 joins.

setPackageCustomParts(CustomPartCollection value)

public void setPackageCustomParts(CustomPartCollection value)

Sets the collection of custom parts (arbitrary content) that are linked to the OOXML package using “unknown relationships”.

Remarks:

Do not confuse these custom parts with Custom XML Data. If you need to access Custom XML parts, use the getCustomXmlParts() / setCustomXmlParts(com.aspose.words.CustomXmlPartCollection) property.

This collection contains OOXML parts whose parent is the OOXML package and they targets are of an “unknown relationship”. For more information see CustomPart.

Aspose.Words loads and saves custom parts into OOXML documents only.

This property cannot be null .

Examples:

Shows how to access a document’s arbitrary custom parts collection.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Custom parts OOXML package.docx");

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());

 // Clone the second part, then add the clone to the collection.
 CustomPart clonedPart = doc.getPackageCustomParts().get(1).deepClone();
 doc.getPackageCustomParts().add(clonedPart);
 Assert.assertEquals(3, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());

 // Enumerate over the collection and print every part.
 Iterator enumerator = doc.getPackageCustomParts().iterator();

 int index = 0;
 while (enumerator.hasNext()) {
     CustomPart customPart = enumerator.next();
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("Part index {0}:", index));
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tName: {0}", customPart.getName()));
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tContentType: {0}", customPart.getContentType()));
     System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tRelationshipType: {0}", customPart.getRelationshipType()));
     if (customPart.isExternal()) {
         System.out.println("\tSourced from outside the document");
     } else {
         System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\tSourced from within the document, length: {0} bytes", customPart.getData().length));
     }
     index++;
 }

 // We can remove elements from this collection individually, or all at once.
 doc.getPackageCustomParts().removeAt(2);

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());

 doc.getPackageCustomParts().clear();

 Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getPackageCustomParts().getCount());
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
valueCustomPartCollectionThe collection of custom parts (arbitrary content) that are linked to the OOXML package using “unknown relationships”.

setPageColor(Color value)

public void setPageColor(Color value)

Sets the page color of the document. This property is a simpler version of getBackgroundShape() / setBackgroundShape(com.aspose.words.Shape).

Remarks:

This property provides a simple way to specify a solid page color for the document. Setting this property creates and sets an appropriate getBackgroundShape() / setBackgroundShape(com.aspose.words.Shape).

If the page color is not set (e.g. there is no background shape in the document) returns a zero color.

Examples:

Shows how to set the background color for all pages of a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
 builder.writeln("Hello world!");

 doc.setPageColor(Color.lightGray);

valuejava.awt.ColorThe page color of the document.

setRemovePersonalInformation(boolean value)

public void setRemovePersonalInformation(boolean value)

Sets a flag indicating that Microsoft Word will remove all user information from comments, revisions and document properties upon saving the document.

Examples:

Shows how to enable the removal of personal information during a manual save.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Insert some content with personal information.
 doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setAuthor("John Doe");
 doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setCompany("Placeholder Inc.");

 doc.startTrackRevisions(doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getAuthor(), new Date());
 builder.write("Hello world!");
 doc.stopTrackRevisions();

 // This flag is equivalent to File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings... ->
 // Privacy Options -> "Remove personal information from file properties on save" in Microsoft Word.
 doc.setRemovePersonalInformation(saveWithoutPersonalInfo);

 // This option will not take effect during a save operation made using Aspose.Words.
 // Personal data will be removed from our document with the flag set when we save it manually using Microsoft Word.
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.RemovePersonalInformation.docx");
 doc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.RemovePersonalInformation.docx");

 Assert.assertEquals(saveWithoutPersonalInfo, doc.getRemovePersonalInformation());
 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getAuthor());
 Assert.assertEquals("Placeholder Inc.", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCompany());
 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRevisions().get(0).getAuthor());

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getRevisions().getCount());

 // Insert revisions show up in the document body even before we accept/reject the revision.
 // Rejecting the revision will remove its nodes from the body. Conversely, nodes that make up delete revisions
 // also linger in the document until we accept the revision.
 Assert.assertEquals("This does not count as a revision. This is revision #1.", doc.getText().trim());

 // Accepting the delete revision will remove its parent node from the paragraph text
 // and then remove the collection's revision itself.

 Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertEquals("This is revision #1.", doc.getText().trim());

 builder.writeln("");

setWarningCallback(IWarningCallback value)

public void setWarningCallback(IWarningCallback value)

Called during various document processing procedures when an issue is detected that might result in data or formatting fidelity loss.

Remarks:

Document may generate warnings at any stage of its existence, so it’s important to setup warning callback as early as possible to avoid the warnings loss. E.g. such properties as Document.getPageCount() actually build the document layout which is used later for rendering, and the layout warnings may be lost if warning callback is specified just for the rendering calls later.

Examples:

Shows how to use the IWarningCallback interface to monitor font substitution warnings.


 public void substitutionWarning() throws Exception {
     Document doc = new Document();
     DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

     builder.getFont().setName("Times New Roman");

     FontSettings.getDefaultInstance().setFontsSources(originalFontSources);

     Assert.assertTrue(callback.FontSubstitutionWarnings.get(0).getWarningType() == WarningType.FONT_SUBSTITUTION);
     Assert.assertTrue(callback.FontSubstitutionWarnings.get(0).getDescription()

             FontSubstitutionWarnings.warning(info);
     }

     public WarningInfoCollection FontSubstitutionWarnings = new WarningInfoCollection();

startTrackRevisions(String author)

public void startTrackRevisions(String author)

Starts automatically marking all further changes you make to the document programmatically as revision changes.

Remarks:

If you call this method and then make some changes to the document programmatically, save the document and later open the document in MS Word you will see these changes as revisions.

Currently Aspose.Words supports tracking of node insertions and deletions only. Formatting changes are not recorded as revisions.

Automatic tracking of changes is supported both when modifying this document through node manipulations as well as when using DocumentBuilder

This method does not change the getTrackRevisions() / setTrackRevisions(boolean) option and does not use its value for the purposes of revision tracking.

Examples:

Shows how to track revisions while editing a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Editing a document usually does not count as a revision until we begin tracking them.
 builder.write("Hello world! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertFalse(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(0).isInsertRevision());

 doc.startTrackRevisions("John Doe");

 builder.write("Hello again! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertTrue(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(1).isInsertRevision());
 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRevisions().get(0).getAuthor());

 // Stop tracking revisions to not count any future edits as revisions.
 doc.stopTrackRevisions();
 builder.write("Hello again! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertFalse(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(2).isInsertRevision());

 // Creating revisions gives them a date and time of the operation.
 // We can disable this by passing DateTime.MinValue when we start tracking revisions.
 doc.startTrackRevisions("John Doe", new Date());
 builder.write("Hello again! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRevisions().get(1).getAuthor());
 Assert.assertEquals(new Date(), doc.getRevisions().get(1).getDateTime());

 // We can accept/reject these revisions programmatically
 // by calling methods such as Document.AcceptAllRevisions, or each revision's Accept method.
 // In Microsoft Word, we can process them manually via "Review" -> "Changes".
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.StartTrackRevisions.docx");
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
authorjava.lang.StringInitials of the author to use for revisions.

startTrackRevisions(String author, Date dateTime)

public void startTrackRevisions(String author, Date dateTime)

Starts automatically marking all further changes you make to the document programmatically as revision changes.

Remarks:

If you call this method and then make some changes to the document programmatically, save the document and later open the document in MS Word you will see these changes as revisions.

Currently Aspose.Words supports tracking of node insertions and deletions only. Formatting changes are not recorded as revisions.

Automatic tracking of changes is supported both when modifying this document through node manipulations as well as when using DocumentBuilder

This method does not change the getTrackRevisions() / setTrackRevisions(boolean) option and does not use its value for the purposes of revision tracking.

Examples:

Shows how to track revisions while editing a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Editing a document usually does not count as a revision until we begin tracking them.
 builder.write("Hello world! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertFalse(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(0).isInsertRevision());

 doc.startTrackRevisions("John Doe");

 builder.write("Hello again! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertTrue(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(1).isInsertRevision());
 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRevisions().get(0).getAuthor());

 // Stop tracking revisions to not count any future edits as revisions.
 doc.stopTrackRevisions();
 builder.write("Hello again! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertFalse(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(2).isInsertRevision());

 // Creating revisions gives them a date and time of the operation.
 // We can disable this by passing DateTime.MinValue when we start tracking revisions.
 doc.startTrackRevisions("John Doe", new Date());
 builder.write("Hello again! ");

 Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
 Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRevisions().get(1).getAuthor());
 Assert.assertEquals(new Date(), doc.getRevisions().get(1).getDateTime());

 // We can accept/reject these revisions programmatically
 // by calling methods such as Document.AcceptAllRevisions, or each revision's Accept method.
 // In Microsoft Word, we can process them manually via "Review" -> "Changes".
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.StartTrackRevisions.docx");
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
authorjava.lang.StringInitials of the author to use for revisions.
dateTimejava.util.DateThe date and time to use for revisions.

 doc.unlinkFields();
 

unprotect()

public void unprotect()

Removes protection from the document. Removes protection from the document regardless of the password.

Remarks:

This method unprotects the document even if it has a protection password.

Note that document protection is different from write protection. Write protection is specified using the getWriteProtection().

Examples:

Shows how to protect and unprotect a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "password");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 // If we open this document with Microsoft Word intending to edit it,
 // we will need to apply the password to get through the protection.
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.Protect.docx");

 // Note that the protection only applies to Microsoft Word users opening our document.
 // We have not encrypted the document in any way, and we do not need the password to open and edit it programmatically.
 Document protectedDoc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.Protect.docx");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, protectedDoc.getProtectionType());

 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(protectedDoc);
 builder.writeln("Text added to a protected document.");
 // There are two ways of removing protection from a document.
 // 1 - With no password:
 doc.unprotect();

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.NO_PROTECTION, doc.getProtectionType());

 doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "NewPassword");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 doc.unprotect("WrongPassword");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.NO_PROTECTION, doc.getProtectionType());
 

unprotect(String password)

public boolean unprotect(String password)

Removes protection from the document if a correct password is specified.

Remarks:

This method unprotects the document only if a correct password is specified.

Note that document protection is different from write protection. Write protection is specified using the getWriteProtection().

Examples:

Shows how to protect and unprotect a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "password");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 // If we open this document with Microsoft Word intending to edit it,
 // we will need to apply the password to get through the protection.
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.Protect.docx");

 // Note that the protection only applies to Microsoft Word users opening our document.
 // We have not encrypted the document in any way, and we do not need the password to open and edit it programmatically.
 Document protectedDoc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.Protect.docx");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, protectedDoc.getProtectionType());

 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(protectedDoc);
 builder.writeln("Text added to a protected document.");
 // There are two ways of removing protection from a document.
 // 1 - With no password:
 doc.unprotect();

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.NO_PROTECTION, doc.getProtectionType());

 doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "NewPassword");

 Assert.assertEquals(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, doc.getProtectionType());

 doc.unprotect("WrongPassword");

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
passwordjava.lang.StringThe password to unprotect the document with.

Returns: boolean - true if a correct password was specified and the document was unprotected.

updateActualReferenceMarks()

public void updateActualReferenceMarks()

Updates the Footnote.getActualReferenceMark() property of all footnotes and endnotes in the document.

Remarks:

Updating fields ( updateFields()) may be necessary to get the correct result.

Examples:

Shows how to get actual footnote reference mark.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Footnotes and endnotes.docx");

 Footnote footnote = (Footnote)doc.getChild(NodeType.FOOTNOTE, 1, true);
 doc.updateFields();
 doc.updateActualReferenceMarks();

 Assert.assertEquals("1", footnote.getActualReferenceMark());
 

updateFields()

public void updateFields()

Updates the values of fields in the whole document.

Remarks:

When you open, modify and then save a document, Aspose.Words does not update fields automatically, it keeps them intact. Therefore, you would usually want to call this method before saving if you have modified the document programmatically and want to make sure the proper (calculated) field values appear in the saved document.

There is no need to update fields after executing a mail merge because mail merge is a kind of field update and automatically updates all fields in the document.

This method does not update all field types. For the detailed list of supported field types, see the Programmers Guide.

This method does not update fields that are related to the page layout algorithms (e.g. PAGE, PAGES, PAGEREF). The page layout-related fields are updated when you render a document or call updatePageLayout().

Use the normalizeFieldTypes() method before fields updating if there were document changes that affected field types.

To update fields in a specific part of the document use Range.updateFields().

Examples:

Shows to use the QUOTE field.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Insert a QUOTE field, which will display the value of its Text property.
 FieldQuote field = (FieldQuote) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_QUOTE, true);
 field.setText("\"Quoted text\"");

 Assert.assertEquals(" QUOTE  \"\\\"Quoted text\\\"\"", field.getFieldCode());

 // Insert a QUOTE field and nest a DATE field inside it.
 // DATE fields update their value to the current date every time we open the document using Microsoft Word.
 // Nesting the DATE field inside the QUOTE field like this will freeze its value
 // to the date when we created the document.
 builder.write("\nDocument creation date: ");
 field = (FieldQuote) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_QUOTE, true);
 builder.moveTo(field.getSeparator());
 builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, true);

 Assert.assertEquals(" QUOTE  DATE " + LocalDate.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("M/d/YYYY")) + "", field.getFieldCode());

 // Update all the fields to display their correct results.
 doc.updateFields();

 Assert.assertEquals("\"Quoted text\"", doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).getResult());

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Field.QUOTE.docx");
 

Shows how to set user details, and display them using fields.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Create a UserInformation object and set it as the data source for fields that display user information.
 UserInformation userInformation = new UserInformation();
 userInformation.setName("John Doe");
 userInformation.setInitials("J. D.");
 userInformation.setAddress("123 Main Street");
 doc.getFieldOptions().setCurrentUser(userInformation);

 // Insert USERNAME, USERINITIALS, and USERADDRESS fields, which display values of
 // the respective properties of the UserInformation object that we have created above.
 Assert.assertEquals(userInformation.getName(), builder.insertField(" USERNAME ").getResult());
 Assert.assertEquals(userInformation.getInitials(), builder.insertField(" USERINITIALS ").getResult());
 Assert.assertEquals(userInformation.getAddress(), builder.insertField(" USERADDRESS ").getResult());

 // The field options object also has a static default user that fields from all documents can refer to.
 UserInformation.getDefaultUser().setName("Default User");
 UserInformation.getDefaultUser().setInitials("D. U.");
 UserInformation.getDefaultUser().setAddress("One Microsoft Way");
 doc.getFieldOptions().setCurrentUser(UserInformation.getDefaultUser());

 Assert.assertEquals("Default User", builder.insertField(" USERNAME ").getResult());
 Assert.assertEquals("D. U.", builder.insertField(" USERINITIALS ").getResult());
 Assert.assertEquals("One Microsoft Way", builder.insertField(" USERADDRESS ").getResult());

 doc.updateFields();
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "FieldOptions.CurrentUser.docx");
 

Shows how to insert a Table of contents (TOC) into a document using heading styles as entries.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // Insert a table of contents for the first page of the document.
 // Configure the table to pick up paragraphs with headings of levels 1 to 3.
 // Also, set its entries to be hyperlinks that will take us
 // to the location of the heading when left-clicked in Microsoft Word.
 builder.insertTableOfContents("\\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u");
 builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);

 // Populate the table of contents by adding paragraphs with heading styles.
 // Each such heading with a level between 1 and 3 will create an entry in the table.
 builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1);
 builder.writeln("Heading 1");

 builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2);
 builder.writeln("Heading 1.1");
 builder.writeln("Heading 1.2");

 builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1);
 builder.writeln("Heading 2");
 builder.writeln("Heading 3");

 builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2);
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.1");

 builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_3);
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.1");
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.2");
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.3");

 builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_4);
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.3.1");
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.3.2");

 builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2);
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.2");
 builder.writeln("Heading 3.3");

 // A table of contents is a field of a type that needs to be updated to show an up-to-date result.
 doc.updateFields();
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentBuilder.InsertToc.docx");
 

updateListLabels()

public void updateListLabels()

Updates list labels for all list items in the document.

Remarks:

This method updates list label properties such as ListLabel.getLabelValue() and ListLabel.getLabelString() for each Paragraph.getListLabel() object in the document.

Also, this method is sometimes implicitly called when updating fields in the document. This is required because some fields that may reference list numbers (such as TOC or REF) need them be up-to-date.

Examples:

Shows how to extract the list labels of all paragraphs that are list items.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
 doc.updateListLabels();
 int listParaCount = 1;

 for (Paragraph paragraph : (Iterable) doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true)) {
     // Find if we have the paragraph list. In our document, our list uses plain Arabic numbers,
     // which start at three and ends at six.
     if (paragraph.getListFormat().isListItem()) {
         System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("List item paragraph #{0}", listParaCount));

         // This is the text we get when getting when we output this node to text format.
         // This text output will omit list labels. Trim any paragraph formatting characters.
         String paragraphText = paragraph.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim();
         System.out.println("Exported Text: " + paragraphText);

         ListLabel label = paragraph.getListLabel();

         // This gets the position of the paragraph in the current level of the list. If we have a list with multiple levels,
         // this will tell us what position it is on that level.
         System.out.println("\tNumerical Id: {label.LabelValue}");

         // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output.
         System.out.println("\tList label combined with text: {label.LabelString} {paragraphText}");
     }

 }
 

updatePageLayout()

public void updatePageLayout()

Rebuilds the page layout of the document.

Remarks:

This method formats a document into pages and updates the page number related fields in the document such as PAGE, PAGES, PAGEREF and REF. The up-to-date page layout information is required for a correct rendering of the document to fixed-page formats.

This method is automatically invoked when you first convert a document to PDF, XPS, image or print it. However, if you modify the document after rendering and then attempt to render it again - Aspose.Words will not update the page layout automatically. In this case you should call updatePageLayout() before rendering again.

Examples:

Shows when to recalculate the page layout of the document.


 Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

 // Saving a document to PDF, to an image, or printing for the first time will automatically
 // cache the layout of the document within its pages.
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.UpdatePageLayout.1.pdf");

 // Modify the document in some way.
 doc.getStyles().get("Normal").getFont().setSize(6.0);
 doc.getSections().get(0).getPageSetup().setOrientation(Orientation.LANDSCAPE);
 doc.getSections().get(0).getPageSetup().setMargins(Margins.MIRRORED);

 // In the current version of Aspose.Words, modifying the document does not automatically rebuild
 // the cached page layout. If we wish for the cached layout
 // to stay up to date, we will need to update it manually.
 doc.updatePageLayout();

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.UpdatePageLayout.2.pdf");
 

updateTableLayout()

public void updateTableLayout()

Implements an earlier approach to table column widths re-calculation that has known issues.

Remarks:

The method is deprecated and it will be removed in a few releases.

updateThumbnail()

public void updateThumbnail()

Updates BuiltInDocumentProperties.getThumbnail() / BuiltInDocumentProperties.setThumbnail(byte[]) of the document using default options.

Examples:

Shows how to update a document’s thumbnail.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.writeln("Hello world!");
 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");

 // There are two ways of setting a thumbnail image when saving a document to .epub.
 // 1 -  Use the document's first page:
 doc.updateThumbnail();
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.UpdateThumbnail.FirstPage.epub");

 // 2 -  Use the first image found in the document:
 ThumbnailGeneratingOptions options = new ThumbnailGeneratingOptions();
 options.setThumbnailSize(new Dimension(400, 400));
 options.setGenerateFromFirstPage(false);

 doc.updateThumbnail(options);
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.UpdateThumbnail.FirstImage.epub");
 

updateThumbnail(ThumbnailGeneratingOptions options)

public void updateThumbnail(ThumbnailGeneratingOptions options)

Updates BuiltInDocumentProperties.getThumbnail() / BuiltInDocumentProperties.setThumbnail(byte[]) of the document according to the specified options.

Remarks:

The ThumbnailGeneratingOptions allows you to specify the source of thumbnail, size and other options. If attempt to generate thumbnail fails, doesn’t change one.

Examples:

Shows how to update a document’s thumbnail.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.writeln("Hello world!");
 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Logo.jpg");

 // There are two ways of setting a thumbnail image when saving a document to .epub.
 // 1 -  Use the document's first page:
 doc.updateThumbnail();
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.UpdateThumbnail.FirstPage.epub");

 // 2 -  Use the first image found in the document:
 ThumbnailGeneratingOptions options = new ThumbnailGeneratingOptions();
 options.setThumbnailSize(new Dimension(400, 400));
 options.setGenerateFromFirstPage(false);

 doc.updateThumbnail(options);
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.UpdateThumbnail.FirstImage.epub");
 

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
optionsThumbnailGeneratingOptionsThe generating options to use.

updateWordCount()

public void updateWordCount()

Updates word count properties of the document.

Remarks:

updateWordCount() recalculates and updates Characters, Words and Paragraphs properties in the getBuiltInDocumentProperties() collection of the Document.

Note that updateWordCount() does not update number of lines and pages properties. Use the updateWordCount() overload and pass true value as a parameter to do that.

When you use an evaluation version, the evaluation watermark will also be included in the word count.

Examples:

Shows how to update all list labels in a document.


 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 builder.writeln("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, " +
         "sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.");
 builder.write("Ut enim ad minim veniam, " +
