Hi,
In our company, we have some standard templates, like CVs or project offers. The only thing that changes within this template are a few fields we’d like to enter in some metadata fields of a SharePoint listitem.
So when I choose the option “print this item”, the metadata is filled into the document and saved as a PDF.
Can I use Aspose.Words.DocumentBuilder for this? And how difficult would this be?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Hi,
Thanks for your inquiry. I think, you can use DocumentBuilder.MoveToMergeField method that moves the cursor to a position just beyond the specified merge field and removes the merge field. You can then write/insert a text/node at that place using DocumentBuilder class. Please see the following code snippet:
Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.MoveToMergeField("fieldName");
builder.Write("this is field's value");
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.pdf");
I hope, this helps.
Best regards,
