Bug when removing a bookmark from the doc

Aspose.Words Product Family

I have a document with several headings and between 2 headings I only have a bookmark. What I’m trying to achieve is replace the bookmark with some HTML / text.

The problem is that, if I change the bookmark text and remove it the next heading formatting seems to be messed up.

Attached is the docx file that I’m reading, the resulting output file (***_out.docx)and here’s the code I’m using.

private void test2()
{
    try
    {
        com.aspose.words.License license = new com.aspose.words.License();
        license.setLicense(dir + "Aspose.Words.lic");

        Document doc = new Document(inputFile);

        FormFieldCollection formFields = doc.getRange().getFormFields();
        db = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
        System.out.println("" + formFields.getCount());

        Iterator nodeIterator = formFields.iterator();
        while (nodeIterator.hasNext())
        {
            FormField f = (FormField) nodeIterator.next();
            System.out.println(f.getName() + "||" + f.getResult());
        }

        System.out.println("\n\nmail merge");
        String[] strings = doc.getMailMerge().getFieldNames();
        for (String string: strings)
        {
            System.out.println("fieldnames ||" + string);
        }

        System.out.println("bookmarks");
        BookmarkCollection bookmarks = doc.getRange().getBookmarks();
        for (Bookmark bookmark: bookmarks)
        {
            System.out.println(bookmark.getName() + "||" + bookmark.getText());
        }

        ArrayList ourBookMarks = findOurBookmarks(doc);

        // wrong
        Bookmark bookmark = ourBookMarks.get(0);
        db.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName(), true, false);
        db.insertHtml("<b>replacing text</b>");

        bookmark.setText("");
        bookmark.remove();

        doc.save(dir + "exemplo_simples_out.docx", SaveFormat.DOCX);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();  //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }
}

If I use the following code and after the bookmark I add a blank line everything seems to work OK.
(check docx attached, bug1_v2.docx)

bookmark = ourBookMarks.get(1);
bookmark.setText("");
db.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName(), true, false);
db.insertHtml("<b>hi</b>");
db.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName(), false, true);
db.getCurrentParagraph().remove();
bookmark.remove();
doc.save(dir + "exemplo_simples_out.docx", SaveFormat.DOCX);

Regarding the first post, this code seems to work with a bookmark between 2 headings (no blank lines). This is far from pretty so that’s my doubt if I’m doing something wrong…

Bookmark bookmark = ourBookMarks.get(0);
db.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName(), false, true);
db.writeln("\n");
db.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName(), true, false);
db.insertHtml("<b>my book</b>");
db.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName(), true, false);
db.getCurrentParagraph().getNextSibling().getNextSibling().remove();
db.getCurrentParagraph().getNextSibling().remove();
db.getCurrentParagraph().remove();
bookmark.remove();

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. I think the following code should work in your case:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\bug1.docx");
DocumentBuilder db = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Bookmark bookmark = doc.getRange().getBookmarks().get("t2");
// Place cursor before bookmark.
db.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName(), true, false);
// Insert HTML
db.insertHtml("<b>my book</b>");
// Remove paragraph with bookmark if BookmarkStart is the first node of the paragraph.
CompositeNode bkParent = bookmark.getBookmarkStart().getParentNode();
if (bkParent.getFirstChild().equals(bookmark.getBookmarkStart()))
{
    bkParent.remove();
}
else
{
    bookmark.setText("");
    bookmark.remove();
}
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.doc");

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
