I want to perform mail merge functionality in java using dot/dotx and doc/docx format documents. I tried using docx4j but it removes much rich text indentation from the documents.
I also tried fetching out some of the html content from the word document but couldnt able to repaste in word document.
public static void readDocxFile1(String fileName) {
// this.file = file;
try {
File file = new File(fileName);
FileInputStream finStream=new FileInputStream(file.getAbsolutePath());
HWPFDocument doc=new HWPFDocument(finStream);
WordExtractor wordExtract=new WordExtractor(doc);
Document newDocument = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() .newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
WordToHtmlConverter wordToHtmlConverter = new WordToHtmlConverter(newDocument) ;
wordToHtmlConverter.processDocument(doc);
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "utf-8");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "html");
transformer.transform(new DOMSource( wordToHtmlConverter.getDocument()), new StreamResult( stringWriter ) );
String html = stringWriter.toString();
System.out.println("html>>>>>>"+html);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
My requirement is that I have to (1) read a dot/dotx or doc/docx template and for the no. of people looping it to (2) replace the keywords and then (3) repasting it in the new document.
Please suggest a way how can I perform this feature.
Also please suggest if ASPOSE.WORDS API for JAVA will do this for me.
