Merging Word Document- Updating TOC from Aspose results in one "Error! Bookmark not Defined"

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I am not programmatically creating contents, I am taking some documents and merging them together using aspose. The first page is a title page, it has the titlepage and an empty TOC page after it. The next pages are sections. The merge works as expected, before saving the Aspose.Document, I do a doc.updateFields()



When I open the document, there is one item in the TOC that has “Error! Bookmark not defined”. I can right-click the TOC in Word and update and it is corrected. I am wondering if there might be a bug in aspose causing this or if there is anything I can do to work around this issue.

import com.aspose.words.LoadFormat;


import com.aspose.words.SectionStart;








public class DocConcepting {


	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {


		Document doc = new Document(“SampleDocuments/TitlePage.docx”);


		//DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);


		String[] docList = new String[] {“Section1.docx”,“Section2.docx”,“Page1.docx”, “Page2.docx”, “SomeText.doc”,“TextOnly.txt”};


		for(int i=0;i<docList.length; i++) {


			Document appendDoc = new Document(“SampleDocuments/” + docList[i]);


			


//			if(docList[i].endsWith(“txt”)) {


//				// See what the text conversion looks like for our list data


//				appendDoc.save(“SampleDocuments/ConvertedText.docx”);


//			}


			appendDoc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.CONTINUOUS);


			appendDoc.getFirstSection().getHeadersFooters().linkToPrevious(true);


			


			doc.appendDocument(appendDoc, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);


		}


		


		doc.updateFields();


		doc.save(“Output/MergeOut.docx”);


		System.out.println(“Done!”);

Hi Michael,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please add following line before calling updateFields method:

doc.updatePageLayout();

I hope, this helps.
