Hello,


Could you please let me know if there is any way to include hyperlinks in reports generated using linq.

I am using Aspose Word Java 15.8.0.

Hi Puneet,


Thanks for your inquiry. I think, after building report, you can move cursor to the desired places and insert hyperlinks in document:

Hi Awais Hafeez,


Thanks for your response, tip is helpful.

But I am generating report using LINQ , so I would prefer to use LINQ for the same.

Like there is tag for image :<<image [getImageByteArray()]>> and switch for HTML <<[getHTMLText()] -html>>, is there any similar solution(tag or switch) for hyperlinks in LINQ?

Hi Puneet,


Thanks for your inquiry. Hyperlinks can be achieved, but it is a bit tricky. Consider the following class:
public static class LinkInfo

{

public String Alias;

public String Link;

}
  1. In the MS Word editor, add text “<<[Alias]>>”
  2. Select the text and make it a hyperlink using some dummy url like “abc”
  3. Select the hyperlink and press Shift+F9
  4. Replace “abc” with “<<[Link]>>”
  5. Select the hyperlink and press Shift+F9

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + “input.docx”);


LinkInfo lnk = new LinkInfo();

lnk.Alias = “Aspose”;

lnk.Link = “http://www.aspose.com”;


ReportingEngine engine = new ReportingEngine();

engine.buildReport(doc, lnk);


doc.save(getMyDir() + “awjava.docx”);
Alternatively, a HTML block can be used as follows:

<<[“” + Alias + “”] -html>>


Both templates are specified in attached input.docx. I hope, this helps.

Best regards,
