Finding and replacing images in a docx

[Alexander McLin]

I'm currently evaluating a copy of Syncfusion Essential Studio and am working with DocIO right now. I want to be able to find images in a docx and replace them with different images.

How may I go around doing that?

Hi

I also need to replace images in a docx document but it seems that i am not able to download the sample project.

Could you provide a working download  link for the sample again?

Thank you.

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for your update.

To meet your requirement, we suggest you set the unique alternate text for the picture in the input Word document and use Picture.AlternativeText API to find the particular image from the Word document and replace it with different image using Essential DocIO. We have prepared sample application for the same and it can be downloaded from the below link:
https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/104983/ze/CreateWordSample-1237063560

Note: Please find the input Word document in “Data” folder of above sample application.

In the above sample application we have done following things,
1. Opens an existing Word document.
2.Iterates to the section and textbody elements.
3.Finds the particular picture using Picture.AlternativeText API.
4.Removes the picture from the paragraph.
5.Inserts new picture at the same index to the paragraph.
6.Saves the Word document.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

The solution is working perfectly, But when we save document with Document Editor Alternative text and title value is set to null, Hence the solution breaks. Can you please recheck and suggest any solution
