test.docx (317.8 KB)

this is my test file, I want to change the paragraph style and font style while keep the cross references unchanged , I HAVE Try many ways, but still can’t achieve it. It keeps saying ‘Error! Reference source not found’ , same thing happens when there’s a FieldType.ADD_IN.
code snippet like :

Run previousRun = new Run(null);
for (int i = 0; i < paragraph.getRuns().getCount(); i++)
{
    Run run = paragraph.getRuns().get(i);
    String previousRunText = previousRun.getText();
    String currentRunText = run.getText();
    if (run.getText().contains("ADDIN") || currentRunText.matches("\\[\\d+(-\\d+)?(,\\d+)*]")
          || run.getText().contains("REF"))
        continue;

    previousRunText = previousRunText.trim();
    currentRunText = currentRunText.trim();

    run.setText(ConverterUtils.formatPunctuationAndAbbreviation(previousRunText, currentRunText));

    StyleUtils.merge(run.getFont(), styleConfigDto.getText());
    previousRun = run;
}

for (Field f : paragraph.getRange().getFields())
{
    if (f.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_ADDIN || f.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_REF)
    {
        Node current = f.getSeparator();
        while (current != null && current != f.getEnd())
        {
            if (current.getNodeType() == NodeType.RUN)
                ((Run)current).getFont().setSuperscript(true);
            current = current.getNextSibling();
        }
    }
}

I really need help :<<<<

@Madecho Most likely the problem is caused by the following line of code:

 run.setText(ConverterUtils.formatPunctuationAndAbbreviation(previousRunText, currentRunText));

This line of code might change the Run text that contains REF field code, that might cause the broken cross references in the output document.

@alexey.noskov After countless debugging sessions, I finally pinpointed the issue! the code that caused the trouble is :

private void deleteSectionContinuous() {
    SectionCollection sections = formattingProcessShareVar.getStudetDocument().getSections();
    for (Section s : sections) {
        if (s == sections.get(0))
            continue;

        if (s.getPageSetup().getSectionStart() == SectionStart.NEW_PAGE ||
        s.getPageSetup().getSectionStart() == SectionStart.CONTINUOUS) {
            ((Section) s.getPreviousSibling()).appendContent(s);
            s.remove();
        }
    }

    // HERE, AFTER USING updateFields  ===> all the cross references show  ‘Error! Reference source not found.’
    try {
        formattingProcessShareVar.getStudetDocument().updateFields();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

so, how can i delete the SectionStart.CONTINUOUS and SectionStart.NEW_PAGE while the cross references remain useful ?

@Madecho Please try modifying the code like this:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");

SectionCollection sections = doc.getSections();
for (Section s : sections)
{
    if (s == sections.get(0))
        continue;

    if (s.getPageSetup().getSectionStart() == SectionStart.NEW_PAGE ||
            s.getPageSetup().getSectionStart() == SectionStart.CONTINUOUS)
    {
        Section prevSect = (Section)s.getPreviousSibling();
        while (s.getBody().hasChildNodes())
            prevSect.getBody().appendChild(s.getBody().getFirstChild());
        s.remove();
    }
}

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx");
