rootNode
- The top node (limit) of traversal.Example:
Shows how to delete all images from a document using pre-order tree traversal.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx"); Assert.assertEquals(doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount(), 10); Node curNode = doc; while (curNode != null) { Node nextNode = curNode.nextPreOrder(doc); if (curNode.previousPreOrder(doc) != null && nextNode != null) { Assert.assertEquals(curNode, nextNode.previousPreOrder(doc)); } if (curNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.SHAPE) { Shape shape = (Shape) curNode; // Several shape types can have an image including image shapes and OLE objects if (shape.hasImage()) { shape.remove(); } } curNode = nextNode; } // The only remaining shape doesn't have an image Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount()); Assert.assertFalse(((Shape) doc.getChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true)).hasImage());

Example:
Shows how to delete all images from a document.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx"); Assert.assertEquals(doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount(), 10); // Here we get all shapes from the document node, but you can do this for any smaller // node too, for example delete shapes from a single section or a paragraph NodeCollection shapes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true); // We cannot delete shape nodes while we enumerate through the collection // One solution is to add nodes that we want to delete to a temporary array and delete afterwards ArrayList shapesToDelete = new ArrayList(); for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapes) { // Several shape types can have an image including image shapes and OLE objects if (shape.hasImage()) { shapesToDelete.add(shape); } } // Now we can delete shapes for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapesToDelete) shape.remove(); // The only remaining shape doesn't have an image Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true).getCount()); Assert.assertFalse(((Shape) doc.getChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true)).hasImage());
Example:
Shows how to remove all nodes of a specific type from a composite node.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Tables.docx"); Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true).getCount()); // Select the first child node in the body Node curNode = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstChild(); while (curNode != null) { // Save the next sibling node as a variable in case we want to move to it after deleting this node Node nextNode = curNode.getNextSibling(); // A section body can contain Paragraph and Table nodes // If the node is a Table, remove it from the parent if (curNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.TABLE) { curNode.remove(); } // Continue going through child nodes until null (no more siblings) is reached curNode = nextNode; } Assert.assertEquals(0, doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true).getCount());
toString | → inherited from Node |
public java.lang.String toString(SaveOptions saveOptions) throws java.lang.Exception |
saveOptions
- Specifies the options that control how the node is saved.Example:
Exports the content of a node to String in HTML format.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx"); // Extract the last paragraph in the document to convert to HTML Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph(); // When ToString is called using the html SaveFormat overload then the node is converted directly to html Assert.assertEquals("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%; font-size:12pt\">" + "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" + "</p>", node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML)); // We can also modify the result of this conversion using a SaveOptions object HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions(); saveOptions.setExportRelativeFontSize(true); Assert.assertEquals("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%\">" + "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" + "</p>", node.toString(saveOptions));
toString | → inherited from Node |
public java.lang.String toString(int saveFormat) throws java.lang.Exception |
saveFormat
- A SaveFormat value.Example:
Shows how to extract the label of each paragraph in a list as a value or a String.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx"); doc.updateListLabels(); int listParaCount = 1; for (Paragraph paragraph : (Iterable<Paragraph>) 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 actually getting when we output this node to text format // The list labels are not included in this text output. 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 current level of the list. If we have a list with multiple level then this // will tell us what position it is on that particular level System.out.println("\tNumerical Id: " + label.getLabelValue()); // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output System.out.println("\tList label combined with text: " + label.getLabelString() + " " + paragraphText); listParaCount++; } }
Example:
Exports the content of a node to String in HTML format.Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx"); // Extract the last paragraph in the document to convert to HTML Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph(); // When ToString is called using the html SaveFormat overload then the node is converted directly to html Assert.assertEquals("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%; font-size:12pt\">" + "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" + "</p>", node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML)); // We can also modify the result of this conversion using a SaveOptions object HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions(); saveOptions.setExportRelativeFontSize(true); Assert.assertEquals("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%\">" + "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" + "</p>", node.toString(saveOptions));
Example:
Shows the difference between calling the GetText and ToString methods on a node.Document doc = new Document(); // Enter a field into the document DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc); builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD Field"); // GetText will retrieve all field codes and special characters Assert.assertEquals("\u0013MERGEFIELD Field\u0014«Field»\u0015\f", doc.getText()); // ToString will give us the plaintext version of the document in the save format we put into the parameter Assert.assertEquals("«Field»\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
