INSERT IMAGE IN ASPOSE WORD AS EDITABLE IMAGE

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello Team,

I want to insert an image into a Word document and set the “Edit Picture” option to true, allowing the user to search the content inside the image. How can I achieve this programmatically so that the image is inserted with the “Edit Picture” feature enabled?

Thank you!

To insert an image into a Word document with the “Edit Picture” option enabled, you can use Aspose.Words to achieve this. The key is to insert the image as a shape and set its properties accordingly. Here’s a simple example in C#:

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Drawing;

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Load your image
string imagePath = "path/to/your/image.png";
Shape shape = builder.InsertImage(imagePath);

// Set the shape's properties to enable editing
shape.WrapType = WrapType.Inline; // or WrapType.None based on your layout preference
shape.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
shape.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;

// Save the document
doc.Save("output.docx");

In this example, the image is inserted inline, which allows for editing. Make sure to adjust the WrapType and positioning properties based on your layout needs.

Next Steps: If you need further customization or have specific layout requirements, please provide additional details so I can assist you better.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

@RaghulBabu214 To be editable, the image must be EMF metafile. You can insert EMF image into the document the same way as any other image:

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.InsertImage(@"C:\Temp\test.emf");
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

with emf file also I didn’t get that enabled for the below document
output_Filename_1.docx (116.0 KB)

@RaghulBabu214 Aspose.Words does not support OCR operations. As I can see “Edit Picture” option is enabled in the attached Document:

@RaghulBabu214

This option is visible in MS Word when the image is EMF metafile. There is no way to control this option from the code.

Unfortunately, Aspose.Words does not provide a feature to search text in images nor MS Word does.
