DOCX: Programmatically edit an existing DOCX document using low-lewel editor

In This Topic

The DocxDocumentEditor class is a low-level editor for existing DOCX document, i.e. class allows to edit a DOCX document in terms of Open XML document.
The DocxDocumentEditor class is designed for fast and easy development of report/invoice generator based on DOCX document template.

If you want to generate DOCX report/invoice, you need to do the following steps:

Open Microsoft Word:
- Create new DOCX document or open existing DOCX document -DOCX document will be used as a template for report/invoice.
- Change content of DOCX document. Document must contain all necessary markup except dynamic data.Places for dynamic data must be marked with unique text constants.
In the code:
- Open template document using DocxDocumentEditor class andadd dynamic data (replace text, insert table rows, replace images, etc) to the document.
- Save changed document to a DOCX file using OpenXmlDocumentEditor.Save method orexport changed document using OpenXmlDocumentEditor.Export method to any format that is supported by VintaSoft Imaging SDK (PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, ...).

Report Generator Demo project contains several examples,which demonstrate how to generate reports, which are based on DOCX template.

DocxDocumentEditor class

DocxDocumentEditor class allows to:

open an existing DOCX document from a file or stream
get access to the content (text, tables, images, etc) of DOCX document - OpenXmlDocumentEditor.Body
get access to the tables of DOCX document - DocxDocumentEditor.Tables
get access to the images of DOCX document - OpenXmlDocumentEditor.Images
get access to the charts of DOCX document - OpenXmlDocumentEditor.Charts
get access to the properties (title, creator, etc.) of DOCX document - OpenXmlDocumentEditor.DocumentProperties
save DOCX document to a file or stream - OpenXmlDocumentEditor.Save
export DOCX document to any format that is supported by VintaSoft Imaging SDK (PDF, PDF/A, TIFF, ...) - OpenXmlDocumentEditor.Export

OpenXmlDocumentElement class

OpenXmlDocumentElement represents a base class for all elements in a DOCX or XLSX document and allows to:

get or set text of element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.Text
find text in element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.FindText
replace text in element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.ReplaceText
set text properties in element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.SetTextProperties
set fill color of an element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.SetFillColor
find element that is located before this element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.FindBefore
find element that is located after this element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.FindAfter
remove this element from document - OpenXmlDocumentElement.Remove
insert copy of this element after self - OpenXmlDocumentElement.InsertCopyAfterSelf
insert copy of this element before self - OpenXmlDocumentElement.InsertCopyBeforeSelf
copy this element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.Clone
access parent element of this element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.Parent
access child elements of this element - OpenXmlDocumentElement.ChildElements

Here is C#/VB.NET code that shows how to find and replace text in DOCX document (example uses template document FindAndReplaceText_template.docx):

public static void DocxFindAndReplaceTextExample()
{
    string templateFilename = "FindAndReplaceText_template.docx";
    string outFilename = "FindAndReplaceText.docx";
    string outPdfFilename = "FindAndReplaceText.pdf";

    // create DocxDocumentEditor that allows to edit file "FindAndReplaceText_template.docx"
    using (Vintasoft.Imaging.Office.OpenXml.Editor.Docx.DocxDocumentEditor editor =
        new Vintasoft.Imaging.Office.OpenXml.Editor.Docx.DocxDocumentEditor(templateFilename))
    {
        // get document body
        Vintasoft.Imaging.Office.OpenXml.Editor.OpenXmlDocumentElement documentBody = editor.Body;

        // replace first occurrence of text "[field1]" by text "value1"
        documentBody["[field1]"] = "value1";

        // replace all occurrences of text "[field2]" by text "value2"
        documentBody.ReplaceText("[field2]", "value2");

        // find text content that corresponds to the text "[field3]"
        Vintasoft.Imaging.Office.OpenXml.Editor.OpenXmlTextContent field3Content = documentBody.FindText("[field3]");
        // change text in found text content
        field3Content.Text = "value3";

        // replace text "[multiline_field]" by multiline text
        documentBody["[multiline_field]"] = "\nline1\nline2\nline3";

        // save changed document to a DOCX file
        editor.Save(outFilename);

        // export changed document to a PDF document
        editor.Export(outPdfFilename);
    }
}

OpenXmlDocumentChart class

OpenXmlDocumentChart represents a chart of DOCX or XLSX document:

get the chart title - OpenXmlDocumentChart.Title
get the chart properties - OpenXmlDocumentChart.Properties
get the chart data - OpenXmlDocumentChart.ChartData

Here is C#/VB.NET code that shows how to create DOCX file with chart (example uses template document Chart.docx):

/// <summary>
/// Creates the DOCX document with chart.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="resultFilePath">The result file path.</param>
public static void CreateDocxWithChart(string resultFilePath)
{
    // path to a template DOCX document with chart
    string templateDocDocumentPath = "Chart.docx";

    // create DOCX document editor on template document with chart
    using (Vintasoft.Imaging.Office.OpenXml.Editor.Docx.DocxDocumentEditor docxDocumentEditor =
        new Vintasoft.Imaging.Office.OpenXml.Editor.Docx.DocxDocumentEditor(templateDocDocumentPath))
    {
        // get chart
        Vintasoft.Imaging.Office.OpenXml.Editor.OpenXmlDocumentChart chart = docxDocumentEditor.Charts[0];


        // change chart title

        // find title
        chart.Title = "Chart Title Example. " + System.DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();


        // change chart data

        // create the chart data
        double?[,] chartData = new double?[,] {
             { 55, 32, 23 },
             { 84, 48, 33 },
             { 72, 53, 86 },
             { 34, 82, 11 } };
        // change the chart data
        chart.ChartData.SetData(chartData);


        // save changes
        docxDocumentEditor.Save(resultFilePath);
    }
}
