Examples

Shows how to determine whether to preserve the document’s “Last saved time” property when saving.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Document.docx')
self.assertEqual(datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 11, 6, 32, 0), doc.built_in_document_properties.last_saved_time)
# When we save the document to an OOXML format, you can create an OoxmlSaveOptions object
# and then pass it to the document's saving method to modify how we save the document.
# Set the "UpdateLastSavedTimeProperty" property to "true" to
# set the output document's "Last saved time" built-in property to the current date/time.
# Set the "UpdateLastSavedTimeProperty" property to "false" to
# preserve the original value of the input document's "Last saved time" built-in property.
save_options = aw.saving.OoxmlSaveOptions()
save_options.update_last_saved_time_property = update_last_saved_time_property
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'OoxmlSaveOptions.LastSavedTime.docx', save_options=save_options)
doc = aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'OoxmlSaveOptions.LastSavedTime.docx')
last_saved_time_new = doc.built_in_document_properties.last_saved_time
if update_last_saved_time_property:
    self.assertTrue((datetime.datetime.now().replace(tzinfo=None) - last_saved_time_new.replace(tzinfo=None)).days < 1)
else:
    self.assertEqual(datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 11, 6, 32, 0), last_saved_time_new)
