Hi All,
I need to programmatically(using java) add Type = DRAFT and Version = 0.1 to the footer of a generated word(.docx) document and then programmatically update the version and type.
Is there a way I can create a simple field called version in the header and then update it as and when required?
Cheers,
Vishal.

Hi
Thanks for your request. I think in your case you can try using bookmarks. Please see the following code:

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Move to footer primary
builder.moveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);
builder.write("Version ");
// Insert bookmark
builder.startBookmark("Version");
builder.write("0.1");
builder.endBookmark("Version");
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\my.docx");

To update version, please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\my.docx");
Bookmark version = doc.getRange().getBookmarks().get("Version");
version.setText("0.2");
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out2.docx");

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
