How to find coordinates of table rows using Java

Hi all,

I am traversing a table and I need to find start and end coordinates of all the rows separately for each row.Flow of my code is I am traversing over each row and creating a bookmark start and end at that row position. Then I am initialising layoutCollector Object and calling getEntity method for fetch each bookmark object. But once I get first entity from layour collector, it makes other bookmarks as null.

Please find the code snippet . I am using Aspose 18.7 with Java 9.

LayoutEnumerator layoutEnumerator = new LayoutEnumerator(document);
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(document);

    for (Table table : (Iterable<Table>) tables) {
        Long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
        logger.debug("[START] Prasing per table");
        Map<Integer, Map<Integer, StringBuilder>> tableMatrix = new HashMap<Integer, Map<Integer, StringBuilder>>();

        int rowIndex = 0;
        int rowBookMarkIndex = 0;
        Map<Integer, ParaData> bookMarkMap = new HashMap<>();
        layoutCollector = new LayoutCollector(document);
        for (Row row : table.getRows()) {


            ParaData paraData = new ParaData();
            documentBuilder.moveTo(row.getFirstCell().getFirstParagraph());
            BookmarkStart start = documentBuilder.startBookmark("Bookmark start" + rowBookMarkIndex); //will be at the start of para of first cell
            //documentBuilder.moveTo(row.getLastCell().getLastParagraph());
            BookmarkEnd end = documentBuilder.endBookmark("Bookmark end" + rowBookMarkIndex); //will be at the end of para of last cell
            paraData.setStart(start);
            paraData.setEnd(end);

            bookMarkMap.put(rowBookMarkIndex, paraData);
            rowBookMarkIndex++;
        }


        layoutCollector = new LayoutCollector(document);
        System.out.println("Layout Collector");
        for (Map.Entry<Integer, ParaData> entry : bookMarkMap.entrySet()) {
            //layoutCollector = new LayoutCollector(document);
            Object bstart = layoutCollector.getEntity(entry.getValue().getStart());
            Object bend = layoutCollector.getEntity(entry.getValue().getEnd());
            if(bstart==null || bend==null){ // after first iteration, I am getting null here
                System.out.println("null value");
            }
            entry.getValue().setBstart(bstart);
            entry.getValue().setBend(bend);
        }

In your code, you are creating the bookmark incorrectly. Please use the same string value in DocumentBuilder.StartBookmark and DocumentBuilder.EndBookmark methods as shown below.

for (Table table : (Iterable<Table>) doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getTables()) {
    for (Row row : table.getRows()) {
        documentBuilder.moveTo(row.getFirstCell().getFirstParagraph());
        BookmarkStart start = documentBuilder.startBookmark("Bookmark" + rowBookMarkIndex);
        documentBuilder.moveTo(row.getLastCell().getLastParagraph());
        BookmarkEnd end = documentBuilder.endBookmark("Bookmark" + rowBookMarkIndex);
        rowBookMarkIndex++;
    }
}
