public void update() throws java.lang.Exception |
Example:
Inserts a field into a document using DocumentBuilder and FieldCode.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 behavior 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();

public void update(boolean ignoreMergeFormat) throws java.lang.Exception |
ignoreMergeFormat
-
If true
then direct field result formatting is abandoned, regardless of the MERGEFORMAT switch, otherwise normal update is performed.
Example:
Shows a way to update a field ignoring the MERGEFORMAT switch.LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions(); { loadOptions.setPreserveIncludePictureField(true); } Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Field INCLUDEPICTURE.docx", loadOptions); for (Field field : doc.getRange().getFields()) { if (((field.getType()) == (FieldType.FIELD_INCLUDE_PICTURE))) { FieldIncludePicture includePicture = (FieldIncludePicture) field; includePicture.setSourceFullName(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png"); includePicture.update(true); } } doc.updateFields(); doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Field.UpdateFieldIgnoringMergeFormat.docx");
