Converting .doc to .docx while preserving document properties

[mpinnamaneni]

I’m trying to convert a .doc document to .docx (2013 and higher compatibility) and I also want to maintain any document properties already exists in pre-2007 docs.

Document doc = new Document(fpath);

doc.getCompatibilityOptions().optimizeFor(MsWordVersion.WORD_2013);

OoxmlSaveOptions options = new OoxmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.DOCX);

options.setCompliance(OoxmlCompliance.ISO_29500_2008_STRICT);

doc.save(fileName, options);

The above code doesn’t preserve any custom properties added to .doc document. Is there any way to maintain the old custom properties? I may be doing something wrong here…

Thanks,

Mahesh
