Another question.
For example,the word document like this:
……
Adress:__________
there is a bookmark in the underline.When I replace the bookmark, the underline will be long.How can I replace the bookmark with some word,but the underline maintain the original length.Like this:
……
Adress:xxxxx____
There has underline in the foot of the x.

  1. You can specify LayoutOptions.CommentDisplayMode to control how comments are rendered. In your case you can use CommentDisplayMode.Hide to hide comments upon rendering document to PDF:
Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
doc.LayoutOptions.CommentDisplayMode = CommentDisplayMode.Hide;
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.pdf");
  1. There are several ways to achieve what you need. The easiest one is using table. Please see the following tempalate:
    in.docx (12.8 KB)
Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
doc.Range.Bookmarks["test"].Text = "This is some text";
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

Here is the output: out.docx (10.2 KB)

Underline is emulated by the bottom cell border.

The number 2 question,Can I control by code?Can you give me an example.The word document style can’t be changed.

@JohnKj It depend on your template. It is difficult to say without looking at your real document. If I understand properly there is is underlined whitespaces in your template a a bookmark before them. If so I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve what you need. Please attach your sample template here for our reference.

@JohnKj The only way to achieve this with your template is using floating shapes, i.e. put a floating shape with the value at the bookmark location. Please see the following code:

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

// Use LayoutCollector and LayoutEnumerator to determine coordinates of bookmakrs.
LayoutCollector collector = new LayoutCollector(doc);
LayoutEnumerator enumerator = new LayoutEnumerator(doc);

foreach (Bookmark bk in doc.Range.Bookmarks)
{
    enumerator.Current = collector.GetEntity(bk.BookmarkStart);
    RectangleF rect = enumerator.Rectangle;

    // Create shape and put it on the detected coordinates.
    builder.MoveToBookmark(bk.Name);
    Shape s = builder.InsertShape(ShapeType.TextBox, 100, rect.Height);
    s.WrapType = WrapType.None;
    s.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
    s.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
    s.Top = rect.Y;
    s.Left = rect.X;
    // Remove inner margins.
    s.TextBox.InternalMarginBottom = 0;
    s.TextBox.InternalMarginLeft = 0;
    s.TextBox.InternalMarginRight = 0;
    s.TextBox.InternalMarginTop = 0;
    // Disable borders
    s.Stroked = false;
    // Disable fill.
    s.Filled = false;
    // Put value
    builder.MoveTo(s.FirstChild);
    builder.Write("This is some value");
}

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

Assume,The bookmarks which created are not very standardized.
For exmaple,like the image

1255×155 10.9 KB

1 is MarkA start position,2 is MarkB start position.Below is the format of the replaced bookmarks what I want.

1396×446 7.23 KB

That means the replace texts will be in the right position.Not like below.

1278×241 3.5 KB

Can you give me an example? Thanks.

@JohnKj I am afraid without standardization of the template there is no way to provide a general solution for all cases. I would suggest you to update your templates and use the approach suggested in my first reply.
