Very many examples exist for reading and editing/replacing bookmarks in XWPF word document. But I want to create a document and create new bookmarks. Create document - no problem:
private void createWordDoc() throws IOException {
XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();
File tempDocFile = new File(pathName+"\\temp.docx");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempDocFile);
XWPFParagraph paragraph = document.createParagraph();
XWPFRun run = paragraph.createRun();
run.setText("testing string ");
document.write(out);
out.close();
}
How can I make a bookmark on text "testing string"?
This is not implemented in high level classes of apache poi
until now. Therefore low level CTP and CTBookmark are needed.
Example:
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.*;
import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.CTBookmark;
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class CreateWordBookmark {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();
XWPFParagraph paragraph = document.createParagraph();
//bookmark before the run
CTBookmark bookmark = paragraph.getCTP().addNewBookmarkStart();
bookmark.setName("before_testing_string");
bookmark.setId(BigInteger.valueOf(0));
paragraph.getCTP().addNewBookmarkEnd().setId(BigInteger.valueOf(0));
//bookmark the run
bookmark = paragraph.getCTP().addNewBookmarkStart();
bookmark.setName("testing_string");
bookmark.setId(BigInteger.valueOf(1));
XWPFRun run = paragraph.createRun();
run.setText("testing string ");
paragraph.getCTP().addNewBookmarkEnd().setId(BigInteger.valueOf(1));
//bookmark after the run
bookmark = paragraph.getCTP().addNewBookmarkStart();
bookmark.setName("after_testing_string");
bookmark.setId(BigInteger.valueOf(2));
paragraph.getCTP().addNewBookmarkEnd().setId(BigInteger.valueOf(2));
document.write(new FileOutputStream("CreateWordBookmark.docx"));
document.close();
}
}
