Is there a way to convert a Document to 'html' format for streaming to a browser without saving it as a file first?
Thanks.

Hi

 

Thanks for your inquiry. I think that you can try save output document into the stream and send it into Response.

 

//Open a document

Document doc = new Document("in.doc");

//Create output stream

java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream htmlStream = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();

//Save document into the stream in HTML format

doc.save(htmlStream, SaveFormat.HTML);

//Get string from stream

String html = htmlStream.toString("UTF-8");

//Now you can send HTML into your Response.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards.

Alexey,

Follow-up question ...
Should the following code snippet work to return the generated document as a Word file attachment? I ask because Word does not seem to like the format of the returned attachment.

response.setContentType("application/msword");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=MyFile.doc");
document.save(response.getOutputStream(), SaveFormat.DOC);

Thanks.

Steve

Hi

 

Thanks for your request. Please try using the following code:

 

//Add Response header

response.setHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=myFile.doc");

//Set Response content type

response.setContentType("application/msword");

//Finally save generated document to Response Out.

doc.save(response.getOutputStream(), SaveFormat.DOC);

response.flushBuffer();

 

I hope this could help.

 

Best regards.
