I tried different approaches to destination document with 2 column page setup

  1. documentBuilder.insertDocument - 2 column page setup is not retained.
  2. documentBuilder.insertNode(srcNode) - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot insert a node of this type at this location.
  3. compositeNode.appendChild(srcNode) - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot insert a node of this type at this location.

Can you point where I am going wrong.

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the following code example to get the desired output.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "SampleTwoColumnInput.doc");
doc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup().getTextColumns().setCount(2);

doc.save(MyDir + "18.10.doc");
