(ASPOSE WORDS)
API: bookmark.setText(“abc”)
Error: Illegal State Exception
StackTrace is given belove
We have observed in nested bookmark if parent bookmark is updated with bookmark text we could not update child node, this case arises when we add bookmark programmatically in prefix to another bookmark.
Ex: “bookmark2””bookmark1”
(Note:Here we added “bookmark1” first and took cursor to first index and added another bookmark “bookmark2”)
When we traverse it programmatically using bookmark collection of aspose we are getting both bookmarks and if we update text of bookmark1 then we cannot update text of bookmark2 it gives bookmark doesn’t exist error.
Can we get to know in which data structure this nested bookmarks saved?
How can we traverse and update bookmarktext of all bookmarks?
StackTrace:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot find bookmark ‘CONTRACT_EFFECTIVE_DATE64829’ in the document.

Thank you for your Response
We have added total of 12 bookmarks so our expected behavior in footer is little different.
We have added bookmark on header in succeeding order where as in footer we added bookmarks in preceding order (programatically and as per our observation bookmarks in footer are being added as nested bookmarks and we need all the bookmark text to be replaced and shown on the document) .
I have attached expected output on this response.
@Karthik_M
Thanks for sharing the detail. Please check the attached DOM image of your document.
Your document contains the nested bookmarks. In your case, you need to iterate over paragraph’s nodes and remove the BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd nodes between bookmark Contract_Value43823. Hope this helps you.
@tahir.manzoor
Thanks for sharing details,
We can iterate over paragraph’s nodes and remove the BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd nodes between bookmark Contract_Value43823,
but we are expecting a behavior where we retain all the bookmarks in the preceding order(not in nested structure i.e, we need all the inner bookmark to be placed preceding its parent as a plain structure),
Ex:
[Bookmark Start-61100 Bookmark End-61100]
[Bookmark Start-51679 Bookmark End-51679]
[Bookmark Start-59824 Bookmark End-59824]
[Bookmark Start-67970 Bookmark End-67970]
[Bookmark Start-43823 Bookmark End-43823]
Can you help me with how we can traverse and add bookmark in a flat structure as shown in the example mentioned above
@Karthik_M
Thanks for your inquiry. In your shared expected output document, the footer contains only one bookmark.
Please manually create your expected Word document using Microsoft Word and attach it here for our reference. We will investigate how you want your final Word output be generated like. We will then provide you more information on this along with code.

Thanks for sharing the detail. In case of nested bookmark, you can use following code example to get the desired output. This code example does not set the bookmark’s text. Please set it according to your requirement.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Disclosure.docx");
HeaderFooter headerFooter = doc.getFirstSection().getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);
if(headerFooter.getRange().getBookmarks().getCount() > 0)
{
Bookmark bm = headerFooter.getRange().getBookmarks().get(0);
Boolean nestedbm = false;
Node node = bm.getBookmarkStart();
while (node != bm.getBookmarkEnd())
{
node = node.nextPreOrder(doc);
if(node == null)
break;
if(node.getNodeType() == NodeType.BOOKMARK_START || node.getNodeType() == NodeType.BOOKMARK_END)
{
if(!node.equals(bm.getBookmarkEnd()))
{
nestedbm = true;
break;
}
}
}
System.out.println("Nested bookmark existed in the range " + nestedbm);
if(nestedbm)
{
node = bm.getBookmarkStart();
while (node != bm.getBookmarkEnd())
{
node = node.nextPreOrder(doc);
if(node == null)
break;
if(node.getNodeType() == NodeType.BOOKMARK_START || node.getNodeType() == NodeType.BOOKMARK_END)
{
Node bookmark = node;
node = node.nextPreOrder(doc);
if(bookmark.equals(bm.getBookmarkStart()) || bookmark.equals(bm.getBookmarkEnd()))
continue;
bookmark.remove();
}
}
}
}
doc.save(MyDir + "19.1.docx");
@tahir.manzoor
Thank you for your quick response,
I have tried this and we cannot set bookmark text ,
In our use case I need to retain bookmark and it’s value for further updates, Is there any way where I can retain my bookmark (in flat structure of desired output i.e, not in nested form).
@Karthik_M
Thanks for your inquiry.
The expected output document you shared in this forum thread has one bookmark in the footer of document. Please check it again. If you want to retain all bookmarks, the code example shared by me does not work.
If you want to keep all bookmarks in the document, you need to iterate over all bookmarks in the range, move the cursor to the desired location and insert the bookmark with same name.
@tahir.manzoor
Thank you for consideration
i have attached output document (created manually, you can get an idea by reffering the document)

Thanks for sharing the detail. We are investigating this issue and will get back to you soon.
@Karthik_M
Thanks for your patience. Please use the following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Disclosure.docx");
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Get the footer
HeaderFooter headerFooter = doc.getFirstSection().getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);
//Clone the footer
HeaderFooter headerFooterClone = (HeaderFooter) headerFooter.deepClone(true);
//remove the text of bookmark. The clone nodes have the text
for(Bookmark bookmark : headerFooter.getRange().getBookmarks())
{
bookmark.setText("");
}
int bookmarkcount = headerFooterClone.getRange().getBookmarks().getCount();
if(bookmarkcount > 0)
{
//Iterate over bookmarks and recreate the bookmarks and their text
for(int bm = 0; bm < bookmarkcount; bm++)
{
Bookmark bookmark = headerFooterClone.getRange().getBookmarks().get(bm);
documentBuilder.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName());
documentBuilder.startBookmark(bookmark.getName());
documentBuilder.write("Text" + bm);
documentBuilder.endBookmark(bookmark.getName());
}
}
doc.save(MyDir + "19.1.docx");
@tahir.manzoor
Thank you for your help We were actually talking about footer Text to be Replaced
I tried your code snippet for Footer but it was not working
Can you help regarding the same?
@Karthik_M
Thanks for your inquiry. In case, you are using older version of Aspose.Words, we suggest you please use the latest version of Aspose.Words for Java 19.1. The shared code example generates the expected output document that you shared. The code example is for footer’s text.
If you still face problem, please ZIP and attach the problematic output document here for further investigation.
@tahir.manzoor
Thanks for your suggestions,
We are already using Aspose 19.1, Its Removing outer bookmarks text and creating another bookmark,
But in our case, we have many bookmarks in preceding order
I have attached Smple document please check once.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String MyDir = "C:\\Users\\karthik.m\\Downloads\\";
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "9947.2.docx");
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Get the footer
HeaderFooter headerFooter = doc.getFirstSection().getHeadersFooters()
.getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);
// Clone the footer
HeaderFooter headerFooterClone = (HeaderFooter) headerFooter.deepClone(true);
// remove the text of bookmark. The clone nodes have the text
for (Bookmark bookmark : headerFooter.getRange().getBookmarks()) {
bookmark.setText("");
}
int bookmarkcount = headerFooterClone.getRange().getBookmarks().getCount();
if (bookmarkcount > 0) {
// Iterate over bookmarks and recreate the bookmarks and their text
System.out.println("*************************Bookmark Before Change********************************");
for (int bmBeforChange = 0; bmBeforChange < bookmarkcount; bmBeforChange++) {
Bookmark bookmark = headerFooterClone.getRange().getBookmarks().get(bmBeforChange);
System.out.println("BookMarkName: " + bookmark.getName());
System.out.println("BookMarkText: " + bookmark.getText());
}
System.out.println("*************************Bookmark After Change********************************");
for (int bm = bookmarkcount - 1; bm >= 0; bm--) {
Bookmark bookmark = headerFooterClone.getRange().getBookmarks().get(bm);
documentBuilder.moveToBookmark(bookmark.getName());
System.out.println("BookMarkName: " + bookmark.getName());
System.out.println("BookMarkText: " + bookmark.getText());
documentBuilder.startBookmark(bookmark.getName());
String bmName = bookmark.getName();
//documentBuilder.write(bmName);
documentBuilder.write("TEXT"+bm);
System.out.println("newBookmarkText: " + "TEXT" + bm);
documentBuilder.endBookmark(bookmark.getName());
}
}
doc.save(MyDir + "9947.2.docx");

Thanks for your inquiry. The bookmark is a “facade” object that encapsulates two nodes BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd in a document tree and allows to work with a bookmark as a single object. The Run nodes between these nodes contain the text of bookmark.
In your document, the content are bookmarked incorrectly. However, you can generate the desired output using Aspose.Words. We suggest you following solution.
- Get bookmark for the desired range.
- Clone it to get the bookmarks’ names and text.
- Delete the nodes in the range.
- Insert the new BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd nodes and text according to your requirement.
