Hello,

I want to replace a bookmark by the entire content of a document.

I use this code finded on this forum, it's coded in C# at the base but i have simply converted it to Java without logic modification :
----
Node node = documentBuilder.getCurrentNode();
                    Section insertedSection = null;
                    int index = 0;
                    if (node.getAncestor(Cell.class) != null || node.getAncestor(Shape.class) != null) {
                        // Insertion point is tracked to Cell or Shape level:
                        // - insert appended document on node by node basis.
                        index = node.getParentNode().getChildNodes().indexOf(node);
                        for (int j = 0; j < nestedDocument.getSections().getCount(); j++) {
                            Section section = nestedDocument.getSections().get(j);
                            for (Node sourceNode : section.getBody().getChildNodes()) {
                                // Only Paragraph or Table nodes can be inserted
                                // into Cell or Shape
                                if ((sourceNode instanceof Paragraph) || (sourceNode instanceof Table)) {
                                    // Do not insert node if it is a last empty
                                    // paragarph in the section.
                                    if ((sourceNode instanceof Paragraph)
                                            && sourceNode == section.getBody().getLastChild())
                                        break;
                                    Node insertedNode = document.importNode(sourceNode, true,
                                            ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);
                                    node.getParentNode().getChildNodes().insert(index++, insertedNode);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    } else {
                        // Insertion point is tracked to Section.Body level:
                        // - insert appended document on section by section
                        // basis.
                        Section dstSection = null;
                        Body body = (Body) node.getAncestor(Body.class);
                        if (body.getLastChild() != node) {
                            DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(document);
                            builder.moveTo(node);
                            builder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_CONTINUOUS);
                            dstSection = builder.getCurrentParagraph().getParentSection();
                        } else {
                            dstSection = (Section) node.getAncestor(Section.class);
                        }
                        index = document.getSections().indexOf(dstSection);
                        int index0 = index;
                        for (int k = 0; k < nestedDocument.getSections().getCount(); k++) {
                            Section section = nestedDocument.getSections().get(k);
                            insertedSection = (Section) document.importNode(section, true,
                                    ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);
                            // Uncomment this line if you want to get rid of
                            // headers/footers in the inserted section
                            insertedSection.clearHeadersFooters();
                            document.getSections().insert(index++, insertedSection);
                        }
                        document.getSections().get(index0).getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.CONTINUOUS);
                    }
                    // Delete the bookmark                   

document.getRange().getBookmarks().get(bookmarkReplacementSetting.getName()).remove();
----
In the above code :

• nestedDocument is the Document object that i want to import
• document is the current document that will receive the content of the nestedDocument variable
• bookmarkReplacementSetting.getName() return the name of the bookmark to replace

When is check in debug mode the sections of the nestedDocument variable are imported in the document variable BUT when i save the target document to a file and i open it i didn't see the imported content and the bookmark it still present....

Note : When i display the content of document.getText() the content of the document is present.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

 

Thanks for your inquiry. I tested your code on my side and it seems that all works fine. Could you please attach your documents for testing?

Also I think that the following method could be useful for you. See the following thread:

http://www.aspose.com/community/forums/post/130959/html-ordered-list-remains-on-1-when-inserted-in-document.aspx

 

Just change the following line

builder.moveToMergeField(mergeFieldName);

to

builder.moveToBookmark(bookmarkName);

and this code will work for you.

 

Best regards.

Hello,

First thanks for the quickly response.

I have tested the method but i have the same problem.

In attach you will find 2 samples A & C, my test is to replace the bookmark TYPE_ENVOI in the sample file A with the content of the sample file C.

I use the v2.42 of Aspose.Words for Java with a JDK 1.5.x

It seem also that the method throw a Exception when the source document to import contains Table because it try to cast a Table objet to a Paragraph and the method only manage Paragraph

Thanks in advance.

Hi

 

Thanks you for additional information. You can’t see the inserted document because the document was inserted into the field. (press Alt+F9 to see its content). To workaround this you can use the following code for moving cursor to the field end.

 

//Move cursor to the bookmark

documentBuilder.moveToBookmark("TYPE_ENVOI");

//Move cursor to the end of field

while (documentBuilder.getCurrentNode().getNodeType() != NodeType.FIELD_END)

{

    documentBuilder.moveTo(documentBuilder.getCurrentNode().getNextSibling());

}

documentBuilder.moveTo(documentBuilder.getCurrentNode().getNextSibling());

 

And the following code for removing field from the document.

 

Node currentNode = document.getRange().getBookmarks().get("TYPE_ENVOI").getBookmarkStart();

//Search for field strat

while (currentNode.getNodeType() != NodeType.FIELD_START)

{

    currentNode = currentNode.getPreviousSibling();

}

//Remove whole field

while (currentNode.getNodeType() != NodeType.FIELD_END)

{

    currentNode = currentNode.getNextSibling();

    currentNode.getPreviousSibling().remove();

}

currentNode.remove();

 

I hope this could help you.

 

Best regards.

I have updated the method initialy found on this forum with your informations to remove field and now all work fine...

I post below the final method in order to help if someone encounter the same "problem" :

/**

     * @param bookmarkName Bookmark name
     * @param document Target document

    publicvoid insertDocumentAtBookmarkPosition(String bookmarkName, Document document, Document nestedDocument)
            throws Exception {

        // Check input parameters
        if (StringUtils.isEmpty(bookmarkName) || document == null || nestedDocument == null) {
            throw new PWEException("All parameters cannot be null or empty !");
        }
        // Create DocumentBuilder for the target document
        DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(document);

         * associated wit each bookmark

        // Move cursor to the bookmark
        if (!documentBuilder.moveToBookmark(bookmarkName)) {
            throw new PWEException("Target bookmark '" + bookmarkName + "' cannot be found in file '"
                    + document.getOriginalFileName() + "'");

            }
            currentNode.remove();
        }
    }
