Size of Include Picture field is changed after updating it using Java

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

I am currently evaluating a suitable word technology for my company. So far, Aspose looks very good, but I fail with the pictures.
Need: Within a table with a fixed cell size I want to use a include picture with a placeholder in it. (e.g. a logo wich can have different orientations).
Whatever I try the logo ist distored after replacement and not rezised…

Include picture looks like:
{INCLUDEPICTURE “{myplaceholder}” \x * MERGEFORMAT}

My code is something like:

Document document = new Document(“FILENAME.docx”, new LoadOptions
{
PreserveIncludePictureField = true,
UpdateDirtyFields = true
});

foreach (Field field in document.Range.Fields)
{
if (FieldType.FieldIncludePicture.ToString().Equals(field.Type.ToString()))
{
var includePicture = (FieldIncludePicture) field;
var placeholderString = GetPlaceholder(includePicture.SourceFullName);

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(placeholderString))
                {
                    String imageUrl = ReplacePlaceholderString(placeholderString, data);

                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(imageUrl))
                    {
                        includePicture.ResizeHorizontally = true;
                        includePicture.ResizeVertically = true;
                        includePicture.IsDirty = true;
                     
                        String temp = "c:\\images\\testimage.png";
                        includePicture.SourceFullName = temp;


                        includePicture.Update();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

document.UpdateFields();
document.save(…);

The Image is replaced, but I can not achieve that the image is resized in a way that it fits into the cell and resized correct…

It would be great if you could give me a hint.

Thank you for your fast update @tahir.manzoor.
Could you suggest me a workaround until this issue is fixed?
There is no need for me to use include picture at the beginning.

I need to replace a placeholder with a picture in a table cell with fix size. For me it could also work to ad a text in a cell like {logo.url} and then insert a picrure with correct size…
For a hint I would be very thankfull!

Best regards- Christian

Unfortunately, there is no workaround available for this issue.

You can use DocumentBuilder.InsertImage to insert the image from URL. Please use the following code example to achieve your requirement. Hope this helps you.

LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setUpdateDirtyFields(true);
loadOptions.setPreserveIncludePictureField(true);

Document document = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx", loadOptions );
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(document);

for (Field field : document.getRange().getFields()) {
    if (field.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_INCLUDE_PICTURE) {
        FieldIncludePicture includePicture = (FieldIncludePicture) field;
        String placeholderString = getPlaceholder(includePicture.getSourceFullName());
        builder.moveTo(field.getStart());
        builder.insertImage("https://assets.kununu.com/images/images_logos/flowfact-gmbh-d883c.gif");
        field.remove();
    }
}
document.save(MyDir + "output.docx");

You can also use find and replace feature of Aspose.Words to find the text and replace it with image. In this case, we suggest you following solution.

  1. Implement IReplacingCallback interface.
  2. In IReplacingCallback.Replacing, move the cursor to the matched node.
  3. Insert the image using DocumentBuilder.InsertImage method.
  4. Remove the matched node.

Please read the following articles.
