DocumentBuilder
Inheritance: java.lang.Object
public class DocumentBuilder
Provides methods to insert text, images and other content, specify font, paragraph and section formatting.
To learn more, visit the Document Builder Overview documentation article.
Remarks:
DocumentBuilder makes the process of building a Document easier. Document is a composite object consisting of a tree of nodes and while inserting content nodes directly into the tree is possible, it requires good understanding of the tree structure. DocumentBuilder is a “facade” for the complex structure of Document and allows to insert content and formatting quickly and easily.
Create a DocumentBuilder and associate it with a Document.
The DocumentBuilder has an internal cursor where the text will be inserted when you call write(java.lang.String), writeln(java.lang.String), M:Aspose.Words.DocumentBuilder.InsertBreak(Aspose.Words.BreakType) and other methods. You can navigate the DocumentBuilder cursor to a different location in a document using various MoveToXXX methods.
Use the getFont() property to specify character formatting that will apply to all text inserted from the current position in the document onwards.
Use the getParagraphFormat() property to specify paragraph formatting for the current and all paragraphs that will be inserted.
Use the getPageSetup() property to specify page and section properties for the current section and all section that will be inserted.
Use the getCellFormat() and getRowFormat() properties to specify formatting properties for table cells and rows. User the insertCell() and endRow() methods to build a table.
Note that getFont(), getParagraphFormat() and getPageSetup() properties are updated whenever you navigate to a different place in the document to reflect formatting properties available at the new location.
Examples:

Badly formed editable range will be ignored when the document is saved.
Examples:
Shows how to work with an editable range.
Document doc = new Document();
doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "MyPassword");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.writeln("Hello world! Since we have set the document's protection level to read-only," +
" we cannot edit this paragraph without the password.");
// Editable ranges allow us to leave parts of protected documents open for editing.
EditableRangeStart editableRangeStart = builder.startEditableRange();
builder.writeln("This paragraph is inside an editable range, and can be edited.");
EditableRangeEnd editableRangeEnd = builder.endEditableRange();
// A well-formed editable range has a start node, and end node.
// These nodes have matching IDs and encompass editable nodes.
EditableRange editableRange = editableRangeStart.getEditableRange();
Assert.assertEquals(editableRangeStart.getId(), editableRange.getId());
Assert.assertEquals(editableRangeEnd.getId(), editableRange.getId());
// Different parts of the editable range link to each other.

Assert.assertEquals(editableRange.getId(), editableRangeStart.getEditableRange().getId());
Assert.assertEquals(editableRangeEnd.getId(), editableRange.getEditableRangeEnd().getId());
// We can access the node types of each part like this. The editable range itself is not a node,
// but an entity which consists of a start, an end, and their enclosed contents.
Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.EDITABLE_RANGE_START, editableRangeStart.getNodeType());
Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.EDITABLE_RANGE_END, editableRangeEnd.getNodeType());
builder.writeln("This paragraph is outside the editable range, and cannot be edited.");
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "EditableRange.CreateAndRemove.docx");
// Remove an editable range. All the nodes that were inside the range will remain intact.
editableRange.remove();
Returns: EditableRangeEnd - The editable range end node that was just created.
endEditableRange(EditableRangeStart start)
public EditableRangeEnd endEditableRange(EditableRangeStart start)
Marks the current position in the document as an editable range end.
Remarks:
Use this overload during creating nested editable ranges.
Editable range in a document can overlap and span any range. To create a valid editable range you need to call both startEditableRange() and endEditableRange() or endEditableRange(com.aspose.words.EditableRangeStart) methods.
Badly formed editable range will be ignored when the document is saved.
Examples:
Shows how to create nested editable ranges.
Document doc = new Document();
doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "MyPassword");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.writeln("Hello world! Since we have set the document's protection level to read-only, " +
"we cannot edit this paragraph without the password.");
// Create two nested editable ranges.
EditableRangeStart outerEditableRangeStart = builder.startEditableRange();
builder.writeln("This paragraph inside the outer editable range and can be edited.");
EditableRangeStart innerEditableRangeStart = builder.startEditableRange();
builder.writeln("This paragraph inside both the outer and inner editable ranges and can be edited.");
// Currently, the document builder's node insertion cursor is in more than one ongoing editable range.
// When we want to end an editable range in this situation,
// we need to specify which of the ranges we wish to end by passing its EditableRangeStart node.
builder.endEditableRange(innerEditableRangeStart);
builder.writeln("This paragraph inside the outer editable range and can be edited.");
builder.endEditableRange(outerEditableRangeStart);
builder.writeln("This paragraph is outside any editable ranges, and cannot be edited.");
// If a region of text has two overlapping editable ranges with specified groups,
// the combined group of users excluded by both groups are prevented from editing it.
outerEditableRangeStart.getEditableRange().setEditorGroup(EditorType.EVERYONE);
innerEditableRangeStart.getEditableRange().setEditorGroup(EditorType.CONTRIBUTORS);

insertField(String fieldCode)
public Field insertField(String fieldCode)
Inserts a Word field into a document and updates the field result.
Remarks:
This method inserts a field into a document and updates the field result immediately. Aspose.Words can update fields of most types, but not all. For more details see the insertField(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) overload.
Examples:
Shows how to insert a field into a document using a field code.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");
Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, dateField.getType());
Assert.assertEquals("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT", dateField.getFieldCode());
Shows how to insert fields, and move the document builder’s cursor to them.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD MyMergeField1 \\* MERGEFORMAT");
builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD MyMergeField2 \\* MERGEFORMAT");
// Move the cursor to the first MERGEFIELD.
builder.moveToMergeField("MyMergeField1", true, false);
// Note that the cursor is placed immediately after the first MERGEFIELD, and before the second.
Assert.assertEquals(doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).getStart(), builder.getCurrentNode());
Assert.assertEquals(doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).getEnd(), builder.getCurrentNode().getPreviousSibling());
// If we wish to edit the field's field code or contents using the builder,
// its cursor would need to be inside a field.
// To place it inside a field, we would need to call the document builder's MoveTo method
// and pass the field's start or separator node as an argument.
builder.write(" Text between our merge fields. ");
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocumentBuilder.MergeFields.docx");
Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
fieldCode | java.lang.String | The field code to insert (without curly braces). |
Returns: Field - A Field object that represents the inserted field.
insertField(String fieldCode, String fieldValue)
public Field insertField(String fieldCode, String fieldValue)
Inserts a Word field into a document without updating the field result.
Remarks:
Fields in Microsoft Word documents consist of a field code and a field result. The field code is like a formula and the field result is like the value that the formula produces. The field code may also contain field switches that are like additional instructions to perform a specific action.
You can switch between displaying field codes and results in your document in Microsoft Word using the keyboard shortcut Alt+F9. Field codes appear between curly braces ( { } ).
To create a field, you need to specify a field type, field code and a “placeholder” field value. If you are not sure about a particular field code syntax, create the field in Microsoft Word first and switch to see its field code.
Aspose.Words can calculate field results for most of the field types, but this method does not update the field result automatically. Because the field result is not calculated automatically, you are expected to pass some string value (or even an empty string) that will be inserted into the field result. This value will remain in the field result as a placeholder until the field is updated. To update the field result you can call Field.update() on the field object returned to you or Document.updateFields() to update fields in the whole document.
Examples:
Shows how to set up page numbering in a section.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.writeln("Section 1, page 1.");

builder.writeln("Section 2, page 2.");
builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
builder.writeln("Section 2, page 3.");
// Move the document builder to the first section's primary header,
// which every page in that section will display.
builder.moveToSection(0);
builder.moveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.HEADER_PRIMARY);
// Insert a PAGE field, which will display the number of the current page.
builder.write("Page ");
builder.insertField("PAGE", "");
// Configure the section to have the page count that PAGE fields display start from 5.
// Also, configure all PAGE fields to display their page numbers using uppercase Roman numerals.

html | java.lang.String | An HTML string to insert into the document. |
insertHtml(String html, boolean useBuilderFormatting)
public void insertHtml(String html, boolean useBuilderFormatting)
Inserts an HTML string into the document.
Remarks:
You can use this method to insert an HTML fragment or whole HTML document.
When useBuilderFormatting is false , DocumentBuilder formating is ignored and formatting of inserted text is based on default HTML formatting. As a result, the text looks as it is rendered in browsers.
When useBuilderFormatting is true , formatting of inserted text is based on DocumentBuilder formatting, and the text looks as if it were inserted with write(java.lang.String).
Examples:
Shows how to apply a document builder’s formatting while inserting HTML content.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Set a text alignment for the builder, insert an HTML paragraph with a specified alignment, and one without.

builder.insertHtml(
" Paragraph 1." +
" Paragraph 2.", useBuilderFormatting);
ParagraphCollection paragraphs = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs();
// The first paragraph has an alignment specified. When InsertHtml parses the HTML code,
// the paragraph alignment value found in the HTML code always supersedes the document builder's value.
Assert.assertEquals("Paragraph 1.", paragraphs.get(0).getText().trim());
Assert.assertEquals(ParagraphAlignment.RIGHT, paragraphs.get(0).getParagraphFormat().getAlignment());
// The second paragraph has no alignment specified. It can have its alignment value filled in
// by the builder's value depending on the flag we passed to the InsertHtml method.
Assert.assertEquals("Paragraph 2.", paragraphs.get(1).getText().trim());
Assert.assertEquals(useBuilderFormatting ? ParagraphAlignment.DISTRIBUTED : ParagraphAlignment.LEFT,
paragraphs.get(1).getParagraphFormat().getAlignment());

insertTableOfContents(String switches)
public Field insertTableOfContents(String switches)
Inserts a TOC (table of contents) field into the document.
Remarks:
This method inserts a TOC (table of contents) field into the document at the current position.
A table of contents in a Word document can be built in a number of ways and formatted using a variety of options. The way the table is built and displayed by Microsoft Word is controlled by the field switches.
The easiest way to specify the switches is to insert and configure a table of contents into a Word document using the Insert->Reference->Index and Tables menu, then switch display of field codes on to see the switches. You can press Alt+F9 in Microsoft Word to toggle display of field codes on or off.
For example, after creating a table of contents, the following field is inserted into the document: { TOC \o “1-3” \h \z }. You can copy \o “1-3” \h \z and use it as the switches parameter.
Note that insertTableOfContents(java.lang.String) will only insert a TOC field, but will not actually build the table of contents. The table of contents is built by Microsoft Word when the field is updated.
If you insert a table of contents using this method and then open the file in Microsoft Word, you will not see the table of contents because the TOC field has not yet been updated.
In Microsoft Word, fields are not automatically updated when a document is opened, but you can update fields in a document at any time by pressing F9.
Examples:
Shows how to insert a Table of contents (TOC) into a document using heading styles as entries.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert a table of contents for the first page of the document.
// Configure the table to pick up paragraphs with headings of levels 1 to 3.
// Also, set its entries to be hyperlinks that will take us
// to the location of the heading when left-clicked in Microsoft Word.
builder.insertTableOfContents("\\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u");
builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
// Populate the table of contents by adding paragraphs with heading styles.
// Each such heading with a level between 1 and 3 will create an entry in the table.
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1);
builder.writeln("Heading 1");
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2);
builder.writeln("Heading 1.1");
builder.writeln("Heading 1.2");
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1);
builder.writeln("Heading 2");
builder.writeln("Heading 3");
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2);
builder.writeln("Heading 3.1");
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_3);
builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.1");
builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.2");
builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.3");
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_4);
builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.3.1");
builder.writeln("Heading 3.1.3.2");
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_2);
builder.writeln("Heading 3.2");
builder.writeln("Heading 3.3");
// A table of contents is a field of a type that needs to be updated to show an up-to-date result.

moveToBookmark(String bookmarkName)
public boolean moveToBookmark(String bookmarkName)
Moves the cursor to a bookmark.
Remarks:
Moves the cursor to a position just after the start of the bookmark with the specified name.
The comparison is not case-sensitive. If the bookmark was not found, false is returned and the cursor is not moved.
Inserting new text does not replace existing text of the bookmark.
Note that some bookmarks in the document are assigned to form fields. Moving to such a bookmark and inserting text there inserts the text into the form field code. Although this will not invalidate the form field, the inserted text will not be visible because it becomes part of the field code.
Examples:
Shows how to move a document builder’s cursor to different nodes in a document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Create a valid bookmark, an entity that consists of nodes enclosed by a bookmark start node,

// A valid bookmark consists of a BookmarkStart node, a BookmarkEnd node with a
// matching bookmark name somewhere afterward, and contents enclosed by those nodes.
builder.startBookmark("MyBookmark");
builder.write("Hello world! ");
builder.endBookmark("MyBookmark");
// There are 4 ways of moving a document builder's cursor to a bookmark.
// If we are between the BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd nodes, the cursor will be inside the bookmark.
// This means that any text added by the builder will become a part of the bookmark.
// 1 - Outside of the bookmark, in front of the BookmarkStart node:

---|---|---|
bookmarkName | java.lang.String | Name of the bookmark. |
Returns: BookmarkStart - The bookmark start node that was just created.
startEditableRange()
public EditableRangeStart startEditableRange()
Marks the current position in the document as an editable range start.
Remarks:
Editable range in a document can overlap and span any range. To create a valid editable range you need to call both startEditableRange() and endEditableRange() or endEditableRange(com.aspose.words.EditableRangeStart) methods.
Badly formed editable range will be ignored when the document is saved.
Examples:
Shows how to create nested editable ranges.
Document doc = new Document();
doc.protect(ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, "MyPassword");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.writeln("Hello world! Since we have set the document's protection level to read-only, " +
"we cannot edit this paragraph without the password.");
// Create two nested editable ranges.
EditableRangeStart outerEditableRangeStart = builder.startEditableRange();
builder.writeln("This paragraph inside the outer editable range and can be edited.");
EditableRangeStart innerEditableRangeStart = builder.startEditableRange();
builder.writeln("This paragraph inside both the outer and inner editable ranges and can be edited.");
// Currently, the document builder's node insertion cursor is in more than one ongoing editable range.
// When we want to end an editable range in this situation,
// we need to specify which of the ranges we wish to end by passing its EditableRangeStart node.
builder.endEditableRange(innerEditableRangeStart);
builder.writeln("This paragraph inside the outer editable range and can be edited.");
builder.endEditableRange(outerEditableRangeStart);
builder.writeln("This paragraph is outside any editable ranges, and cannot be edited.");
// If a region of text has two overlapping editable ranges with specified groups,
// the combined group of users excluded by both groups are prevented from editing it.
outerEditableRangeStart.getEditableRange().setEditorGroup(EditorType.EVERYONE);
innerEditableRangeStart.getEditableRange().setEditorGroup(EditorType.CONTRIBUTORS);
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "EditableRange.Nested.docx");
Shows how to work with an editable range.

" we cannot edit this paragraph without the password.");
// Editable ranges allow us to leave parts of protected documents open for editing.
EditableRangeStart editableRangeStart = builder.startEditableRange();
builder.writeln("This paragraph is inside an editable range, and can be edited.");
EditableRangeEnd editableRangeEnd = builder.endEditableRange();
// A well-formed editable range has a start node, and end node.
// These nodes have matching IDs and encompass editable nodes.
EditableRange editableRange = editableRangeStart.getEditableRange();
Assert.assertEquals(editableRangeStart.getId(), editableRange.getId());
Assert.assertEquals(editableRangeEnd.getId(), editableRange.getId());
// Different parts of the editable range link to each other.

Assert.assertEquals(editableRange.getId(), editableRangeStart.getEditableRange().getId());
Assert.assertEquals(editableRangeEnd.getId(), editableRange.getEditableRangeEnd().getId());
// We can access the node types of each part like this. The editable range itself is not a node,
// but an entity which consists of a start, an end, and their enclosed contents.
Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.EDITABLE_RANGE_START, editableRangeStart.getNodeType());
Assert.assertEquals(NodeType.EDITABLE_RANGE_END, editableRangeEnd.getNodeType());
builder.writeln("This paragraph is outside the editable range, and cannot be edited.");
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "EditableRange.CreateAndRemove.docx");
// Remove an editable range. All the nodes that were inside the range will remain intact.
editableRange.remove();
Returns: EditableRangeStart - The editable range start node that was just created.
