@Sudha_Mylapalli,

Please ZIP and upload your simplified input Word document and your expected Word file showing the desired output here for testing. We will then investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information.

@Sudha_Mylapalli,

You have attached only the input.docx file. Can you please also ZIP and attach your expected Word file showing the desired output here for testing? You can create expected document by using MS Word. We will then investigate the scenario further on our end and provide you more information.

As far as bookmarks are concerned, we found only one bookmark named “Bookmark1” in “input.docx” and its content is “External Attachment”. The following code returns it correctly:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\temp\\SampleDocs\\input.docx");
Bookmark bookmark = doc.getRange().getBookmarks().get("Bookmark1");
System.out.println(bookmark.getText());

Here is the attached Zip file. Input File has customized bookmark. V3:B symbol indicates customized bookmark.

@Sudha_Mylapalli,

These customized bookmarks that you are referring to are actually Content Controls (represented by StructuredDocumentTag class). You can get the string representation of such Content Controls in Word document by using the following Java code:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\Temp\\Documents\\InputDoc.docx");

for (StructuredDocumentTag sdt :
        (Iterable<StructuredDocumentTag>) doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG,
                true)) {
    if (sdt.getTitle().equals("V3:B")) {
        System.out.println(sdt.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
    }
}

You can also extract the Nodes from inside such Content Controls and place them into a new Document.

Hope, this helps in achieving what you are looking for.

Hi Hafeez,

We need a program in such a way that, the input customized Bookmark should be available in the same alignment(as it is in the same place) after retrieval from .rtf to the .doc file.
Sample documents ( BookmarkSampleFile.zip (141.0 KB))are available in my last comment.

@Sudha_Mylapalli

We are checking this scenario and will get back to you soon.

Hi Hafeez,

I want Java program to convert open office document(ODT) to word document for Aspose .

15

@Sudha_Mylapalli,

You can use the following simple Java code to convert open office document (ODT) into DOCX, DOC, RTF, WordML or other file formats (see Supported Document Formats).

Document doc = new Document("input.odt");
// Save the ODT document in DOCX format.
doc.save("output.docx");

Hope, this helps.

16

@awais.hafeez
Document doc = new Document(“input.odt”);
// Save the ODT document in DOCX format.
doc.save(“output.docx”);

with this code im able to convert the file but its not coming expected output file .please find the attached zip file odt_ToDoc.zip (300.9 KB)

@Sudha_Mylapalli,

The problem occurs because “outputFile.docx” was generated by using a very old (15.12) version of Aspose.Words for Java on your end (in evaluation mode i.e. without applying license).

After an initial test with the licensed latest (20.5) version of Aspose.Words for Java, we were unable to reproduce this issue during converting ODT to DOCX on our end. Please see the output DOCX document generated on our end by using the following simple Java code:

Java Code:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\Temp\\odt_ToDoc\\inputFile.odt");
doc.save("E:\\Temp\\odt_ToDoc\\awjava-20.5.docx");

So, we suggest you please upgrade to the latest version. Hope, this helps.

@awais.hafeez
