Dear AsposeTeam,


We encountered the issue with the latest ASPOSE WORDS and we are stand by with customer requirement.

Looks like this is basic requirement in Template. Not sure why they are not working.
Is there any upgrade patch or version that is going to be released to fix any your known issues in templates?

Our requirements mostly are with custom templates building for variety of data sources and we would need your help to close the issues on priorty otherwise we will be delayed with our customer timelines.

Please take this as priority .

Thanks

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please call Document.updateFields method before saving the document to pdf. This will fix the shared issue. Please let us know if you have any more queries. 

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "simple.rtf");
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.readXml(MyDir + "newxml.xml");

doc.getMailMerge().setUseNonMergeFields(true);
doc.getMailMerge().executeWithRegions(ds);
doc.updateFields();
doc.save(MyDir + "out.pdf", SaveFormat.PDF);

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for sharing the detail. In your case, we suggest you please insert empty rows before the last row of table to get the desired output. You need to add the rows according to your requirements. Please check the following code example. We have attached the output document with this post for your kind reference. Hope this helps you. 

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "simple.rtf");
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.readXml(MyDir + "newxml.xml");

doc.getMailMerge().setUseNonMergeFields(true);
doc.getMailMerge().executeWithRegions(ds);
doc.updateFields();

Table table = (Table)doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 3, true);
Row row = (Row)table.getRows().get(1).deepClone(true);
for (Cell cell : row.getCells()) {
    cell.removeAllChildren();
    cell.ensureMinimum();
}

table.insertAfter(row.deepClone(true), table.getRows().get(1));
table.insertAfter(row.deepClone(true), table.getRows().get(1));
table.insertAfter(row.deepClone(true), table.getRows().get(1));
doc.save(MyDir + "17.2.0.pdf");

Hi,


My template is dynamically created by client requirements, its not fixed format.

And also data also not fixed.
Is it possible to handle from rtf document, without hard coding in java code

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the same approach to insert the empty rows in table. After performing the mail merge, get the difference of table's row count and insert empty rows in the other table accordingly.

Please let us know if you have any more queries.
