Removing Watermark form document

[sunil877]

Hi,

I want to remove a specific watermark present in document. The found following code on aspose forum, which works fine if I don’t put check to compare watermark text.

==============================================================
Document doc = new Document(“C:\watermark.doc”);
NodeCollection nodes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true, false);
if(nodes == null || nodes.getCount() <1 ){
return;
}
Node[] shapes = nodes.toArray();
int count = shapes.length;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{

Shape shape = (Shape)shapes[i];
String t = shape.getText();
System.out.println("wwww "+t);
// if (shape.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(“DRAFT”))
{
shape.remove();
}
}
doc.save(“C:\Temp\out.doc”);

==============================================================

Is there any way to compare watermark text. I always get empty text for this shape object.
I am attaching sample file which I am using with this example.

I am using Aspose Word for Java 2.4

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your request. In your case watermark is a WordArt shape. You should use TextPath.Text property to get text of this shape. Please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\watermark.doc");

NodeCollection nodes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true, false);

if(nodes == null || nodes.getCount() <1 ){

return;

}

Node[] shapes = nodes.toArray();

int count = shapes.length;

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)

{

Shape shape = (Shape)shapes[i];

String t = shape.getTextPath().getText();

System.out.println("wwww " + t);

if (shape.getTextPath().getText().equalsIgnoreCase("SUN"))

{

shape.remove();

}

}

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.doc");

Hope this helps.

Best regards.
