Hello.

We need to split a Word document into different files. For each entry of the TOC there must be a seperate file. Can this be done with your framework?
We are using Java as Programming language.

Thanks a lot.

Hi

 

Thanks for your request. Yes I think that you can achieve this using Aspose.Words. For example see the attached document and the following code:

 

//Open document

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

//Get collection of Paragraphs

NodeCollection paragraphs = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true);

Paragraph par = null;

int docIndex = 0;

//Loop through all paragraphs in the document

for (int parIndex = 0; parIndex < paragraphs.getCount(); parIndex++)

{

    par = (Paragraph)paragraphs.get(parIndex);

    //If Paragraph style = HEADING_1 then copy content to the new document

    if (par.getParagraphFormat().getStyleIdentifier() == StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1)

    {

        //Create new document

        Document outDoc = new Document();

        Node currentNode = par;

        while (currentNode != null)

        {

            //Import Node

            Node importedNode = outDoc.importNode(currentNode, true, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);

            //insert node into the new document

            outDoc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(importedNode);

            //If next node=null then move to the next section

            if (currentNode.getNextSibling() == null)

            {

                //Get next section

                Section currrentSection = (Section)currentNode.getAncestor(NodeType.SECTION).getNextSibling();

                //If next section != null then get its first child

                if (currrentSection != null)

                    currentNode = currrentSection.getBody().getFirstChild();

                else

                    break; //else exit from while

            }

            else

            {

                //Get next node

                currentNode = currentNode.getNextSibling();

            }

            //Check if current node is paragraph

            if (currentNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.PARAGRAPH)

            {

                //Check if its style is HEADING_1

                if (((Paragraph)currentNode).getParagraphFormat().getStyleIdentifier() == StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1)

                {

                    //If so then set par index and exit while

                    parIndex = paragraphs.indexOf(currentNode) - 1;

                    break;

                }

            }

        }

        //Save output document

        outDoc.save("Section_" + String.valueOf(docIndex) + ".doc");

        //increase docIndex

        docIndex++;

    }

}

 

I hope this could help you.

 

Best regards.

Hi.

Thanks for the fast reply. I tried the above code and it works fine for small documents. We have a very large document (about 130 MB) that has to be split in several documents. When I load that document it seems that only the first part of the document is parsed. When I copy a part of the document into a new Word doc and parse this one, it is working fine again.

Is this a restriction of the evaluation version?

Thanks.

Thomas

Hi

 

Thanks for your request. Aspose.Words in evaluation mode limits the maximum document size to several hundred paragraphs. Please see the following link to learn more about limitations.

http://www.aspose.com/documentation/file-format-components/aspose.words-for-.net-and-java/evaluate-aspose-words.html

 

If you want to test Aspose.Words without evaluation version limitations, you can also request a 30-Day Temporary License. See the following link.

http://www.aspose.com/corporate/temporary-license.aspx

 

Best regards.

Ok. With the temporary license it works fine.

Now there is one more open point. How can I copy the page layout (e.g. landscape) , the pagestyle and the background image to the splitted documents.

Thanks.

Thomas

Hi

 

Thanks for your request. Yes, of course you can achieve this. Please try using the following code:

 

//Open document

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

//Get collection of Paragraphs

NodeCollection paragraphs = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true);

Paragraph par = null;

int docIndex = 0;

//Loop through all paragraphs in the document

for (int parIndex = 0; parIndex < paragraphs.getCount(); parIndex++)

{

    par = (Paragraph)paragraphs.get(parIndex);

    //If Paragraph style = HEADING_1 then copy content to the new document

    if (par.getParagraphFormat().getStyleIdentifier() == StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1)

    {

        //Create new document

        Document outDoc = new Document();

        //Remove sections from document

        outDoc.removeAllChildren();

        Node currentNode = par;

        //import section from src document without its children

        Section srcSect = (Section)outDoc.importNode(currentNode.getAncestor(NodeType.SECTION), true, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);

        outDoc.appendChild(srcSect);

        srcSect.getBody().removeAllChildren();

        while (currentNode != null)

        {

            //Import Node

            Node importedNode = outDoc.importNode(currentNode, true, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);

            //insert node into the new document

            outDoc.getLastSection().getBody().appendChild(importedNode);

            //If next node=null then move to the next section

            if (currentNode.getNextSibling() == null)

            {

                //Get next section

                Section currrentSection = (Section)currentNode.getAncestor(NodeType.SECTION).getNextSibling();

                //If next section != null then get its first child

                if (currrentSection != null)

                {

                    Section newSect = (Section)outDoc.importNode(currrentSection, true, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);

                    outDoc.appendChild(newSect);

                    newSect.getBody().removeAllChildren();

                    currentNode = currrentSection.getBody().getFirstChild();

                }

                else

                {

                    break; //else exit from while

                }

            }

            else

            {

                //Get next node

                currentNode = currentNode.getNextSibling();

            }

            //Check if current node is paragraph

            if (currentNode.getNodeType() == NodeType.PARAGRAPH)

            {

                //Check if its style is HEADING_1

                if (((Paragraph)currentNode).getParagraphFormat().getStyleIdentifier() == StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1)

                {

                    //If so then set par index and exit while

                    parIndex = paragraphs.indexOf(currentNode) - 1;

                    break;

                }

            }

        }

        //Save output document

        outDoc.save("Section_" + String.valueOf(docIndex) + ".doc");

        //increase docIndex

        docIndex++;

    }

}

 

I hope this could help you.

 

Best regards.

Thanks! That did it.

But there is another problem. At the beginning of each splitted document there is a Page Break. How can I remove this when creating the splits. Just remove the first Node/Paragraph Node?

//Thomas

Hi

 

Thanks for your inquiry. Maybe this occurs because there are page breaks between sections in your document. Could you attach your document or part of the document for testing? I will investigate this issue and try to help you.

 

Best regards.

Ok. I created a document that shows the problem.

When splitting the document using the above code, The first split has a carriage return at the beginning and the second document a Page Break.

Can this be solved?

Thanks.

Thomas Ospelt

Hi

 

Thank you for additional information. I think that you can try using the following code to resolve this problem.

 

 

//Get first Paragraph

Paragraph firstPar = outDoc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();

//Remove PageBreaks in the first paragraph

for (int runIndex = 0; runIndex < firstPar.getRuns().getCount(); runIndex++)

{

    firstPar.getRuns().get(runIndex).setText(firstPar.getRuns().get(runIndex).getText().replace("\f", ""));

}

//Save output document

outDoc.save("Section_" + String.valueOf(docIndex) + ".doc");

//increase docIndex

docIndex++;

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards.
