Examples

Shows how to use a DocumentVisitor implementation to remove all hidden content from a document.

public void RemoveHiddenContentFromDocument()
{
    Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Hidden content.docx");
    RemoveHiddenContentVisitor hiddenContentRemover = new RemoveHiddenContentVisitor();

    // Below are three types of fields which can accept a document visitor,
    // which will allow it to visit the accepting node, and then traverse its child nodes in a depth-first manner.
    // 1 -  Paragraph node:
    Paragraph para = (Paragraph)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Paragraph, 4, true);
    para.Accept(hiddenContentRemover);

    // 2 -  Table node:
    Table table = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0];
    table.Accept(hiddenContentRemover);

    // 3 -  Document node:
    doc.Accept(hiddenContentRemover);

    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Font.RemoveHiddenContentFromDocument.docx");
