If you replace a text with a document that has different page orientation it will keep the first one.
Document a → 1 page orientation = 1 (vertical)
Document b → 3 pages orientation = 1,2,2 (vertical, horizontal, horizontal)
a.getRange.replace(“TEXTTOREPLACE”, “”, options)
Having the callback including document b on that replacement it will put all sections with orientation = 1
Please compress the following resources into ZIP format and attach the .zip file here for testing:
A simplified source Word document
Aspose.Words v21.7 generated output DOCX document showing the undesired behavior
Your expected Word file showing the desired output. You can create this file manually by using MS Word.
Please also create a standalone simplified Console Application (source code without compilation errors) that helps us to reproduce this problem on our end and attach it here for our testing. Please do not include Aspose.Words DLL files in it to reduce the file size.
As soon as you get these pieces of information ready, we will then start investigation into your particular scenario and provide you more information.
README.txt
Source file = AsposeTest.java
Source documents simplified = IREPLACE_TEXT_TO_REPLACE.docx, IREPLACE_CONTENT_TO_REPLACE.docx
Generated output = output.docx
The generated output should have page breaks and page orientations as original doc (IREPLACE_CONTENT_TO_REPLACE.docx)
Expected output = expected_output.docx
To compile or run you need to put aspose-words-21.7-jdk16.jar on lib directory
File to compile source and generate jar = compile-create-jar.bat
File to run the test = run.bat test_replacing.zip (76.3 KB)
You can find text & replace it with content of another Word document by using the following code of Aspose.Words for Java API:
Document docWithTextToBeReplaced = new Document("C:\\Temp\\test_replacing\\IREPLACE_TEXT_TO_REPLACE.docx");
Document docWithContent = new Document("C:\\Temp\\test_replacing\\IREPLACE_CONTENT_TO_REPLACE.docx");
ReplacingCallbackTest callback = new ReplacingCallbackTest(docWithContent);
FindReplaceOptions options = new FindReplaceOptions(callback);
options.setDirection(1);
docWithTextToBeReplaced.getRange().replace("TEXT_TO_REPLACE", "", options);
docWithTextToBeReplaced.save("C:\\temp\\test_replacing\\awjava-21.7.docx", com.aspose.words.SaveFormat.DOCX);
static class ReplacingCallbackTest implements IReplacingCallback {
Document doc1;
public ReplacingCallbackTest(Document d) {
doc1 = d;
}
public int replacing(ReplacingArgs e) throws Exception {
// This is a Run node that contains either the beginning or the complete match.
Node currentNode = e.getMatchNode();
// The first (and may be the only) run can contain text before the match,
// in this case it is necessary to split the run.
if (e.getMatchOffset() > 0)
currentNode = splitRun((Run) currentNode, e.getMatchOffset());
ArrayList runs = new ArrayList();
// Find all runs that contain parts of the match string.
int remainingLength = e.getMatch().group().length();
while ((remainingLength > 0) && (currentNode != null) && (currentNode.getText().length() <= remainingLength)) {
runs.add(currentNode);
remainingLength = remainingLength - currentNode.getText().length();
// Select the next Run node.
// Have to loop because there could be other nodes such as BookmarkStart etc.
do {
currentNode = currentNode.getNextSibling();
} while ((currentNode != null) && (currentNode.getNodeType() != NodeType.RUN));
}
// Split the last run that contains the match if there is any text left.
if ((currentNode != null) && (remainingLength > 0)) {

}
//// to insert Document
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder((Document) e.getMatchNode().getDocument());
builder.moveTo((Run) runs.get(runs.size() - 1));
builder.insertDocument(doc1, ImportFormatMode.USE_DESTINATION_STYLES);
for (Run run : (Iterable<Run>) runs)
run.remove();

Hello,
I have an api that replaces bookmarks with documents that can be of any kind, will this solution work for any document? I cannot have different solutions depending on the document content, the api is generic.
Yes, copying all the sections of word document at a bookmarked place should work most of the times. However, if you find any other scenario where the above solution does not work, then please do share those Word documents here for further testing on our end.
