Constructor Detail

LoadOptions

public LoadOptions()
Initializes a new instance of this class with default values.

Example:

Shows how to open an HTML document with images from a stream using a base URI.
// Open the stream
InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(getMyDir() + "Document.html");

try {
    // Pass the URI of the base folder so any images with relative URIs in the HTML document can be found
    // Note the Document constructor detects HTML format automatically
    LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
    loadOptions.setBaseUri(getImageDir());

    doc = new Document(stream, loadOptions);
} finally {
    if (stream != null) stream.close();
}

Parameters:
password - The password to open an encrypted document. Can be null or empty string.

Example:

Shows how to load a Microsoft Word document encrypted with a password.
// If we try open an encrypted document without the password, an IncorrectPasswordException will be thrown
// We can construct a LoadOptions object with the correct encryption password
LoadOptions options = new LoadOptions("docPassword");

// Then, we can use that object as a parameter when opening an encrypted document

LoadOptions

public LoadOptions(int loadFormat, java.lang.String password, java.lang.String baseUri)
A shortcut to initialize a new instance of this class with properties set to the specified values.
Parameters:
loadFormat - A LoadFormat value. The format of the document to be loaded.
password - The password to open an encrypted document. Can be null or empty string.
baseUri - The string that will be used to resolve relative URIs to absolute. Can be null or empty string.

Example:

Shows how to insert the HTML contents from a web page into a new document.
// The url of the page to load
URL url = new URL("http://www.aspose.com/");

// The easiest way to load our document from the internet is make use of the URLConnection class
URLConnection webClient = url.openConnection();

// Download the bytes from the location referenced by the URL
InputStream inputStream = webClient.getInputStream();

// Convert the input stream to a byte array
int pos;
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
while ((pos = inputStream.read()) != -1) bos.write(pos);

byte[] dataBytes = bos.toByteArray();

// Wrap the bytes representing the document in memory into a stream object
ByteArrayInputStream byteStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(dataBytes);

// The baseUri property should be set to ensure any relative img paths are retrieved correctly
LoadOptions options = new LoadOptions(LoadFormat.HTML, "", url.getPath());

// Load the HTML document from stream and pass the LoadOptions object
Document doc = new Document(byteStream, options);

// Save the document to the local file system while converting it to .docx

Property Getters/Setters Detail

getBaseUri/setBaseUri

public java.lang.String getBaseUri() / public void setBaseUri(java.lang.String value)
Gets or sets the string that will be used to resolve relative URIs found in the document into absolute URIs when required. Can be null or empty string. Default is null.

This property is used to resolve relative URIs into absolute in the following cases:

  1. When loading an HTML document from a stream and the document contains images with relative URIs and does not have a base URI specified in the BASE HTML element.
  2. When saving a document to PDF and other formats, to retrieve images linked using relative URIs so the images can be saved into the output document.

Example:

Shows how to open an HTML document with images from a stream using a base URI.
// Open the stream
InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(getMyDir() + "Document.html");

try {
    // Pass the URI of the base folder so any images with relative URIs in the HTML document can be found
    // Note the Document constructor detects HTML format automatically
    LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
    loadOptions.setBaseUri(getImageDir());

    doc = new Document(stream, loadOptions);
} finally {
    if (stream != null) stream.close();
}

getConvertShapeToOfficeMath/setConvertShapeToOfficeMath

public boolean getConvertShapeToOfficeMath() / public void setConvertShapeToOfficeMath(boolean value)
Gets or sets whether to convert shapes with EquationXML to Office Math objects.

Example:

Shows how to convert shapes with EquationXML to Office Math objects.
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
// Use 'true/false' values to convert shapes with EquationXML to Office Math objects or not
loadOptions.setConvertShapeToOfficeMath(isConvertShapeToOfficeMath);

// Specify load option to convert math shapes to office math objects on loading stage
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Math shapes.docx", loadOptions);

getEncoding/setEncoding

public java.nio.charset.Charset getEncoding() / public void setEncoding(java.nio.charset.Charset value)
Gets or sets the encoding that will be used to load an HTML or TXT document if the encoding is not specified in HTML/TXT. Can be null. Default is null.

This property is used only when loading HTML or TXT documents.

If encoding is not specified in HTML/TXT and this property is null, then the system will try to automatically detect the encoding.


getFontSettings/setFontSettings

public FontSettings getFontSettings() / public void setFontSettings(FontSettings value)
Allows to specify document font settings.

When loading some formats, Aspose.Words may require to resolve the fonts. For example, when loading HTML documents Aspose.Words may resolve the fonts to perform font fallback.

If set to null, default static font settings FontSettings.DefaultInstance will be used.

The default value is null.

Example:

Shows how to set font settings and apply them during the loading of a document.
// Create a FontSettings object that will substitute the "Times New Roman" font with the font "Arvo" from our "MyFonts" folder
FontSettings fontSettings = new FontSettings();
fontSettings.setFontsFolder(getFontsDir(), false);
fontSettings.getSubstitutionSettings().getTableSubstitution().addSubstitutes("Times New Roman", "Arvo");

// Set that FontSettings object as a member of a newly created LoadOptions object
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setFontSettings(fontSettings);

// We can now open a document while also passing the LoadOptions object into the constructor so the font substitution occurs upon loading
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx", loadOptions);

// The effects of our font settings can be observed after rendering
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.LoadOptionsFontSettings.pdf");

Example:

Shows how to designate font substitutes during loading.
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setFontSettings(new FontSettings());

// Set a font substitution rule for a LoadOptions object that replaces a font that's not installed in our system with one that is
TableSubstitutionRule substitutionRule = loadOptions.getFontSettings().getSubstitutionSettings().getTableSubstitution();
substitutionRule.addSubstitutes("MissingFont", new String[]{"Comic Sans MS"});

// If we pass that object while loading a document, any text with the "MissingFont" font will change to "Comic Sans MS"
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Missing font.html", loadOptions);

// At this point such text will still be in "MissingFont", and font substitution will be carried out once we save
Assert.assertEquals("MissingFont", doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().getRuns().get(0).getFont().getName());

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Font.ResolveFontsBeforeLoadingDocument.pdf");

getLanguagePreferences

public LanguagePreferences getLanguagePreferences()
Gets language preferences that will be used when document is loading.

Example:

Shows how to set up language preferences that will be used when document is loading.
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.getLanguagePreferences().addEditingLanguage(EditingLanguage.JAPANESE);

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "No default editing language.docx", loadOptions);

int localeIdFarEast = doc.getStyles().getDefaultFont().getLocaleIdFarEast();
if (localeIdFarEast == EditingLanguage.JAPANESE)
    System.out.println("The document either has no any FarEast language set in defaults or it was set to Japanese originally.");
else
    System.out.println("The document default FarEast language was set to another than Japanese language originally, so it is not overridden.");

getLoadFormat/setLoadFormat

public int getLoadFormat() / public void setLoadFormat(int value)
Specifies the format of the document to be loaded. Default is LoadFormat.AUTO. The value of the property is LoadFormat integer constant.

It is recommended that you specify the LoadFormat.AUTO value and let Aspose.Words detect the file format automatically. If you know the format of the document you are about to load, you can specify the format explicitly and this will slightly reduce the loading time by the overhead associated with auto detecting the format. If you specify an explicit load format and it will turn out to be wrong, the auto detection will be invoked and a second attempt to load the file will be made.

Example:

Shows how to load a document as HTML without automatic file format detection.
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setLoadFormat(com.aspose.words.LoadFormat.HTML);

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.html", loadOptions);

getMswVersion/setMswVersion

public int getMswVersion() / public void setMswVersion(int value)
Allows to specify that the document loading process should match a specific MS Word version. Default value is MsWordVersion.WORD_2007The value of the property is MsWordVersion integer constant. Different Word versions may handle certain aspects of document content and formatting slightly differently during the loading process, which may result in minor differences in Document Object Model.

Example:

Shows how to emulate the loading procedure of a specific Microsoft Word version during document loading.
// Create a new LoadOptions object, which will load documents according to MS Word 2019 specification by default
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
Assert.assertEquals(MsWordVersion.WORD_2019, loadOptions.getMswVersion());

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx", loadOptions);
Assert.assertEquals(12.95, doc.getStyles().getDefaultParagraphFormat().getLineSpacing(), 0.005f);

// We can change the loading version like this, to Microsoft Word 2007
loadOptions.setMswVersion(MsWordVersion.WORD_2007);

// This document is missing the default paragraph format style,
// so when it is opened with either Microsoft Word or Aspose Words, that default style will be regenerated,
// and will show up in the Styles collection, with values according to Microsoft Word 2007 specifications
doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx", loadOptions);
Assert.assertEquals(13.8, doc.getStyles().getDefaultParagraphFormat().getLineSpacing(), 0.005f);

getPassword/setPassword

public java.lang.String getPassword() / public void setPassword(java.lang.String value)
Gets or sets the password for opening an encrypted document. Can be null or empty string. Default is null.

You need to know the password to open an encrypted document. If the document is not encrypted, set this to null or empty string.

Example:

Shows how to sign encrypted document file.
// Create certificate holder from a file
CertificateHolder certificateHolder = CertificateHolder.create(getMyDir() + "morzal.pfx", "aw");

SignOptions signOptions = new SignOptions();
signOptions.setComments("Comment");
signOptions.setSignTime(new Date());
signOptions.setDecryptionPassword("docPassword");

// Digitally sign encrypted with "docPassword" document in the specified path
String inputFileName = getMyDir() + "Encrypted.docx";
String outputFileName = getArtifactsDir() + "DigitalSignatureUtil.DecryptionPassword.docx";

DigitalSignatureUtil.sign(inputFileName, outputFileName, certificateHolder, signOptions);

getPreserveIncludePictureField/setPreserveIncludePictureField

public boolean getPreserveIncludePictureField() / public void setPreserveIncludePictureField(boolean value)
Gets or sets whether to preserve the INCLUDEPICTURE field when reading Microsoft Word formats. The default value is false.

By default, the INCLUDEPICTURE field is converted into a shape object. You can override that if you need the field to be preserved, for example, if you wish to update it programmatically. Note however that this approach is not common for Aspose.Words. Use it on your own risk.

One of the possible use cases may be using a MERGEFIELD as a child field to dynamically change the source path of the picture. In this case you need the INCLUDEPICTURE to be preserved in the model.

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 sample - 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");

getResourceLoadingCallback/setResourceLoadingCallback

public IResourceLoadingCallback getResourceLoadingCallback() / public void setResourceLoadingCallback(IResourceLoadingCallback value)
Allows to control how external resources (images, style sheets) are loaded when a document is imported from HTML, MHTML.

Example:

Shows how to handle external resources in Html documents during loading.
public void loadOptionsCallback() throws Exception {
    // Create a new LoadOptions object and set its ResourceLoadingCallback attribute
    // as an instance of our IResourceLoadingCallback implementation 
    LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
    loadOptions.setResourceLoadingCallback(new HtmlLinkedResourceLoadingCallback());

    // When we open an Html document, external resources such as references to CSS stylesheet files and external images
    // will be handled in a custom manner by the loading callback as the document is loaded
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.html", loadOptions);
    doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.LoadOptionsCallback.pdf");
}

/// <summary>
/// Resource loading callback that, upon encountering external resources,
/// acknowledges CSS style sheets and replaces all images with a substitute.
/// </summary>
private static class HtmlLinkedResourceLoadingCallback implements IResourceLoadingCallback {
    public int resourceLoading(ResourceLoadingArgs args) throws IOException {
        switch (args.getResourceType()) {
            case ResourceType.CSS_STYLE_SHEET:
                System.out.println("External CSS Stylesheet found upon loading: {args.OriginalUri}");
                return ResourceLoadingAction.DEFAULT;
            case ResourceType.IMAGE:
                System.out.println("External Image found upon loading: {args.OriginalUri}");

                final String NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME = "Logo.jpg";
                System.out.println("\tImage will be substituted with: {newImageFilename}");

                byte[] imageBytes = DocumentHelper.getBytesFromStream(new FileInputStream(getImageDir() + NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME));
                args.setData(imageBytes);

                return ResourceLoadingAction.USER_PROVIDED;

        }
        return ResourceLoadingAction.DEFAULT;
    }
}

getTempFolder/setTempFolder

public java.lang.String getTempFolder() / public void setTempFolder(java.lang.String value)
Allows to use temporary files when reading document. By default this property is null and no temporary files are used.

The folder must exist and be writable, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Aspose.Words automatically deletes all temporary files when reading is complete.

Example:

Shows how to load a document using temporary files.
// Note that such an approach can reduce memory usage but degrades speed
LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setTempFolder("C:\\TempFolder\\");

// Ensure that the directory exists and load
new File(loadOptions.getTempFolder()).mkdir();

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

getUpdateDirtyFields/setUpdateDirtyFields

public boolean getUpdateDirtyFields() / public void setUpdateDirtyFields(boolean value)
Specifies whether to update the fields with the dirty attribute.

Example:

Shows how to use special property for updating field result.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Give the document's built in property "Author" a value and display it with a field
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setAuthor("John Doe");
FieldAuthor field = (FieldAuthor) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_AUTHOR, true);

Assert.assertFalse(field.isDirty());
Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", field.getResult());

// Update the "Author" property
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setAuthor("John & Jane Doe");

// AUTHOR is one of the field types whose fields do not update according to their source values in real time,
// and need to be updated manually beforehand every time an accurate value is required
Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", field.getResult());

// Since the field's value is out of date, we can mark it as "Dirty"
field.isDirty(true);

OutputStream docStream = new FileOutputStream(getArtifactsDir() + "Filed.UpdateDirtyFields.docx");
try {
    doc.save(docStream, SaveFormat.DOCX);

    // Re-open the document from the stream while using a LoadOptions object to specify
    // whether to update all fields marked as "Dirty" in the process, so they can display accurate values immediately
    LoadOptions options = new LoadOptions();
    options.setUpdateDirtyFields(doUpdateDirtyFields);

    doc = new Document(String.valueOf(docStream), options);

    Assert.assertEquals("John & Jane Doe", doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getAuthor());

    field = (FieldAuthor) doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);

    if (doUpdateDirtyFields) {
        Assert.assertEquals("John & Jane Doe", field.getResult());
        Assert.assertFalse(field.isDirty());
    } else {
        Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", field.getResult());
        Assert.assertTrue(field.isDirty());
    }
} finally {
    if (docStream != null) docStream.close();
}

getWarningCallback/setWarningCallback

public IWarningCallback getWarningCallback() / public void setWarningCallback(IWarningCallback value)
Called during a load operation, when an issue is detected that might result in data or formatting fidelity loss.

Example:

Shows how to print and store warnings that occur during document loading.
public void loadOptionsWarningCallback() throws Exception {
    // Create a new LoadOptions object and set its WarningCallback attribute as an instance of our IWarningCallback implementation
    LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
    loadOptions.setWarningCallback(new DocumentLoadingWarningCallback());

    // Warnings that occur during loading of the document will now be printed and stored
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx", loadOptions);

    ArrayList<WarningInfo> warnings = ((DocumentLoadingWarningCallback) loadOptions.getWarningCallback()).getWarnings();
    Assert.assertEquals(3, warnings.size());
}

/// <summary>
/// IWarningCallback that prints warnings and their details as they arise during document loading.
/// </summary>
private static class DocumentLoadingWarningCallback implements IWarningCallback {
    public void warning(WarningInfo info) {
        System.out.println("Warning: {info.WarningType}");
        System.out.println("\tSource: {info.Source}");
        System.out.println("\tDescription: {info.Description}");
        mWarnings.add(info);
    }

    public ArrayList<WarningInfo> getWarnings() {
        return mWarnings;
    }

    private ArrayList<WarningInfo> mWarnings = new ArrayList<>();
}
