Hi,

I want to insert page numbers in footer in same line with text, but when footer contains some text beside page number, page number and text in footer switch places. I am doing this while converting document from html to word.


Text in footer is sent from html and text doesn’t contains MERGEFORMAT tag.
This is the code for adding page number in footer:

<pre style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>Elements elements = doc.select(ASPOSE_FOOTER_TAG);

if(elements.size() == 0 || !elements.html().contains(“MERGEFORMAT”)) {
log.debug(“Add page number”);
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert PAGE field into the footer
 builder.moveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);
builder.insertField(“PAGE”, null);
builder.write("/");
builder.insertField(“NUMPAGES”, null);
}<pre style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>
<pre style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>

Is there any way to replace whole text in footer?

Hi Milan,


Thanks for your inquiry. You need to move cursor to the last child node inside header/footer and then insert fields. Please see the following code for example:
<span style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>
<span style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>DocumentBuilder builder = <span style=“font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-weight: bold;”>new <span style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>DocumentBuilder(doc);
<pre style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>builder.moveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);
HeaderFooter fp = doc.getFirstSection().getHeadersFooters().getByHeaderFooterType(HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY);
builder.moveTo(fp.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true).get(fp.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true).getCount() - 1));
<span style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>builder.write(<span style=“font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(0, 128, 0); font-weight: bold;”>“Hello”<span style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>);
