Class DocumentBuilder

java.lang.Object
    extended by com.aspose.words.DocumentBuilder

public class DocumentBuilder 
extends java.lang.Object

Provides methods to insert text, images and other content, specify font, paragraph and section formatting.

DocumentBuilder makes the process of building a Document easier. Document is a composite object consisting of a tree of nodes and while inserting content nodes directly into the tree is possible, it requires good understanding of the tree structure. DocumentBuilder is a "facade" for the complex structure of Document and allows to insert content and formatting quickly and easily.

Create a DocumentBuilder and associate it with a Document.

The DocumentBuilder has an internal cursor where the text will be inserted when you call write(java.lang.String), writeln(java.lang.String), insertBreak(int) and other methods. You can navigate the DocumentBuilder cursor to a different location in a document using various MoveToXXX methods.

Use the Font property to specify character formatting that will apply to all text inserted from the current position in the document onwards.

Use the ParagraphFormat property to specify paragraph formatting for the current and all paragraphs that will be inserted.

Use the PageSetup property to specify page and section properties for the current section and all section that will be inserted.

Use the CellFormat and RowFormat properties to specify formatting properties for table cells and rows. User the insertCell() and endRow() methods to build a table.

Note that Font, ParagraphFormat and PageSetup properties are updated whenever you navigate to a different place in the document to reflect formatting properties available at the new location.

Example:

Adds some text into the document and encloses the text in a bookmark using DocumentBuilder.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();

builder.startBookmark("MyBookmark");
builder.writeln("Text inside a bookmark.");
builder.endBookmark("MyBookmark");

Example:

Inserts HTML into a document using DocumentBuilder.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.insertHtml(
        "<P align='right'>Paragraph right</P>" +
                "<b>Implicit paragraph left</b>" +
                "<div align='center'>Div center</div>" +
                "<h1 align='left'>Heading 1 left.</h1>");

doc.save(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.InsertHtml Out.doc");

Example:

Shows how to create a simple table using DocumentBuilder with default formatting.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// We call this method to start building the table.
builder.startTable();
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, Cell 1 Content.");

// Build the second cell
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, Cell 2 Content.");
// Call the following method to end the row and start a new row.
builder.endRow();

// Build the first cell of the second row.
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 2, Cell 1 Content");

// Build the second cell.
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 2, Cell 2 Content.");
builder.endRow();

// Signal that we have finished building the table.
builder.endTable();

// Save the document to disk.
doc.save(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.CreateSimpleTable Out.doc");

Method Detail

deleteRow

public Row deleteRow(int tableIndex, int rowIndex)
             throws java.lang.Exception
Deletes a row from a table.

If the cursor is inside the row that is being deleted, the cursor is moved out to the next row or to the next paragraph after the table.

If you delete a row from a table that contains only one row, the whole table is deleted.

For the index parameters, when index is greater than or equal to 0, it specifies an index from the beginning with 0 being the first element. When index is less than 0, it specified an index from the end with -1 being the last element.

Parameters:
tableIndex - The index of the table.
rowIndex - The index of the row in the table.
Returns:
The row node that was just removed.

endBookmark

public BookmarkEnd endBookmark(java.lang.String bookmarkName)
                       throws java.lang.Exception
Marks the current position in the document as a bookmark end.

Bookmarks in a document can overlap and span any range. To create a valid bookmark you need to call both startBookmark(java.lang.String) and endBookmark(java.lang.String) with the same bookmarkName parameter.

Badly formed bookmarks or bookmarks with duplicate names will be ignored when the document is saved.

Parameters:
bookmarkName - Name of the bookmark.
Returns:
The bookmark end node that was just created.

Example:

Inserts a hyperlink referencing local bookmark.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.startBookmark("Bookmark1");
builder.write("Bookmarked text.");
builder.endBookmark("Bookmark1");

builder.writeln("Some other text");

// Specify font formatting for the hyperlink.
builder.getFont().setColor(Color.BLUE);
builder.getFont().setUnderline(Underline.SINGLE);

// Insert hyperlink.
// Switch \o is used to provide hyperlink tip text.
builder.insertHyperlink("Hyperlink Text", "Bookmark1\" \\o \"Hyperlink Tip", true);

// Clear hyperlink formatting.
builder.getFont().clearFormatting();

doc.save(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.InsertHyperlinkToLocalBookmark Out.doc");

Example:

Adds some text into the document and encloses the text in a bookmark using DocumentBuilder.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();

builder.startBookmark("MyBookmark");
builder.writeln("Text inside a bookmark.");
builder.endBookmark("MyBookmark");

endRow

public Row endRow()
          throws java.lang.Exception
Ends a table row in the document.

Call EndRow to end a table row. If you call insertCell() immediately after that, then the table continues on a new row.

Use the RowFormat property to specify row formatting.

Returns:
The row node that was just finished.

Example:

Shows how to build a formatted table that contains 2 rows and 2 columns.
Document doc = new Document();

insertField

public Field insertField(java.lang.String fieldCode)
                 throws java.lang.Exception
Inserts a Word field into a document and updates the field result.

This method inserts a field into a document and updates the field result immediately. Aspose.Words can update fields of most types, but not all. For more details see the insertField(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) overload.

Parameters:
fieldCode - The field code to insert (without curly braces).
Returns:
A Field object that represents the inserted field.
See Also:
Field

Example:

Inserts a field into a document using DocumentBuilder.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a simple Date field into the document.
// When we insert a field through the DocumentBuilder class we can get the
// special Field object which contains information about the field.
Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");

// Update this particular field in the document so we can get the FieldResult.
dateField.update();

// Display some information from this field.
// The field result is where the last evaluated value is stored. This is what is displayed in the document
// When field codes are not showing.
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldResult: {0}", dateField.getResult()));

// Display the field code which defines the behaviour of the field. This can been seen in Microsoft Word by pressing ALT+F9.
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldCode: {0}", dateField.getFieldCode()));

// The field type defines what type of field in the Document this is. In this case the type is "FieldDate"
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldType: {0}", dateField.getType()));

// Finally let's completely remove the field from the document. This can easily be done by invoking the Remove method on the object.
dateField.remove();

Example:

Inserts a merge field into a document using DocumentBuilder.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD MyFieldName \\* MERGEFORMAT");

insertField

public Field insertField(java.lang.String fieldCode, java.lang.String fieldValue)
                 throws java.lang.Exception
Inserts a Word field into a document without updating the field result.

Fields in Microsoft Word documents consist of a field code and a field result. The field code is like a formula and the field result is like the value that the formula produces. The field code may also contain field switches that are like additional instructions to perform a specific action.

You can switch between displaying field codes and results in your document in Microsoft Word using the keyboard shortcut Alt+F9. Field codes appear between curly braces ( { } ).

To create a field, you need to specify a field type, field code and a "placeholder" field value. If you are not sure about a particular field code syntax, create the field in Microsoft Word first and switch to see its field code.

Aspose.Words can calculate field results for most of the field types, but this method does not update the field result automatically. Because the field result is not calculated automatically, you are expected to pass some string value (or even an empty string) that will be inserted into the field result. This value will remain in the field result as a placeholder until the field is updated. To update the field result you can call Field.update() on the field object returned to you or Document.updateFields() to update fields in the whole document.

Parameters:
fieldCode - The field code to insert (without curly braces).
fieldValue - The field value to insert. Pass null for fields that do not have a value.
Returns:
A Field object that represents the inserted field.

insertTableOfContents

public Field insertTableOfContents(java.lang.String switches)
                           throws java.lang.Exception
Inserts a TOC (table of contents) field into the document.

This method inserts a TOC (table of contents) field into the document at the current position.

A table of contents in a Word document can be built in a number of ways and formatted using a variety of options. The way the table is built and displayed by Microsoft Word is controlled by the field switches.

The easiest way to specify the switches is to insert and configure a table of contents into a Word document using the Insert->Reference->Index and Tables menu, then switch display of field codes on to see the switches. You can press Alt+F9 in Microsoft Word to toggle display of field codes on or off.

For example, after creating a table of contents, the following field is inserted into the document: { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u }. You can copy \o "1-3" \h \z \u and use it as the switches parameter.

Note that InsertTableOfContents will only insert a TOC field, but will not actually build the table of contents. The table of contents is built by Microsoft Word when the field is updated.

If you insert a table of contents using this method and then open the file in Microsoft Word, you will not see the table of contents because the TOC field has not yet been updated.

In Microsoft Word, fields are not automatically updated when a document is opened, but you can update fields in a document at any time by pressing F9.

Parameters:
switches - The TOC field switches.

Example:

Demonstrates how to insert a Table of contents (TOC) into a document using heading styles as entries.
// Use a blank document
Document doc = new Document();

// Create a document builder to insert content with into document.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert a table of contents at the beginning of the document.
builder.insertTableOfContents("\\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u");

// Start the actual document content on the second page.
builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);

// Build a document with complex structure by applying different heading styles thus creating TOC entries.
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_2);

builder.writeln("Heading 3.2");
builder.writeln("Heading 3.3");

// Call the method below to update the TOC.
doc.updateFields();

When node is an inline-level node, the cursor is moved to this node and further content will be inserted before that node.

When node is a Paragraph, the cursor is moved to the end of the paragraph and further content will be inserted just before the paragraph break.

Parameters:
node - The node must be a paragraph or a direct child of a paragraph.

Example:

Shows how to move between nodes and manipulate current ones.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.WorkingWithNodes.doc");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Move to a bookmark and delete the parent paragraph.
builder.moveToBookmark("ParaToDelete");
builder.getCurrentParagraph().remove();

// Move to a particular paragraph's run and replace all occurrences of "bad" with "good" within this run.
builder.moveTo(doc.getLastSection().getBody().getParagraphs().get(0).getRuns().get(0));

                      throws java.lang.Exception
Moves the cursor to a bookmark.

Moves the cursor to a position just after the start of the bookmark with the specified name.

The comparison is not case-sensitive. If the bookmark was not found, false is returned and the cursor is not moved.

Inserting new text does not replace existing text of the bookmark.

Note that some bookmarks in the document are assigned to form fields. Moving to such a bookmark and inserting text there inserts the text into the form field code. Although this will not invalidate the form field, the inserted text will not be visible because it becomes part of the field code.

Parameters:
bookmarkName - The name of the bookmark to move the cursor to.
Returns:
True if the bookmark was found; false otherwise.

Example:

Shows how to move between nodes and manipulate current ones.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.WorkingWithNodes.doc");

builder.getFont().setName("Arial");
builder.getFont().setSize(24);
builder.getFont().setBold(true);
builder.write("To go to an important location, click ");

// Save the font formatting so we use different formatting for hyperlink and restore old formatting later.
builder.pushFont();

// Set new font formatting for the hyperlink and insert the hyperlink.
// The "Hyperlink" style is a Microsoft Word built-in style so we don't have to worry to
// create it, it will be created automatically if it does not yet exist in the document.
builder.getFont().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HYPERLINK);
builder.insertHyperlink("here", "http://www.google.com", false);

// Restore the formatting that was before the hyperlink.
builder.popFont();

startBookmark

public BookmarkStart startBookmark(java.lang.String bookmarkName)
                           throws java.lang.Exception
Marks the current position in the document as a bookmark start.

Bookmarks in a document can overlap and span any range. To create a valid bookmark you need to call both startBookmark(java.lang.String) and endBookmark(java.lang.String) with the same bookmarkName parameter.

Badly formed bookmarks or bookmarks with duplicate names will be ignored when the document is saved.

Parameters:
bookmarkName - Name of the bookmark.
Returns:
The bookmark start node that was just created.

Example:

Inserts a hyperlink referencing local bookmark.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.startBookmark("Bookmark1");
builder.write("Bookmarked text.");
builder.endBookmark("Bookmark1");

builder.writeln("Some other text");

// Specify font formatting for the hyperlink.
builder.getFont().setColor(Color.BLUE);
builder.getFont().setUnderline(Underline.SINGLE);

// Insert hyperlink.
// Switch \o is used to provide hyperlink tip text.
builder.insertHyperlink("Hyperlink Text", "Bookmark1\" \\o \"Hyperlink Tip", true);

// Clear hyperlink formatting.
builder.getFont().clearFormatting();

doc.save(getMyDir() + "DocumentBuilder.InsertHyperlinkToLocalBookmark Out.doc");

Example:

Adds some text into the document and encloses the text in a bookmark using DocumentBuilder.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();

builder.startBookmark("MyBookmark");
builder.writeln("Text inside a bookmark.");
builder.endBookmark("MyBookmark");

startTable

public Table startTable()
                throws java.lang.Exception
Starts a table in the document.

The next method to call is insertCell().

This method starts a nested table when called inside a cell.

Returns:
The table node that was just created.

Example:

Shows how to build a formatted table that contains 2 rows and 2 columns.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Table table = builder.startTable();

// Insert a cell
builder.insertCell();
// Use fixed column widths.
table.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.FIXED_COLUMN_WIDTHS);

builder.getCellFormat().setVerticalAlignment(CellVerticalAlignment.CENTER);
builder.write("This is row 1 cell 1");

// Insert a cell
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("This is row 1 cell 2");

builder.endRow();

// Insert a cell
builder.insertCell();

// Apply new row formatting
builder.getRowFormat().setHeight(100);
builder.getRowFormat().setHeightRule(HeightRule.EXACTLY);

builder.getCellFormat().setOrientation(TextOrientation.UPWARD);
builder.writeln("This is row 2 cell 1");

// Insert a cell
builder.insertCell();
builder.getCellFormat().setOrientation(TextOrientation.DOWNWARD);
builder.writeln("This is row 2 cell 2");

builder.endRow();

builder.endTable();

Example:

Shows how to create a table that contains a single formatted cell.
Document doc = new Document();
