Hi Customer,

Currently DocIO does not has support for custom XML and we have already logged this as a feature and the feature will be available in any of our upcoming releases. Please check our website periodically for feature related updates.

            WordDocument document = new WordDocument(); 

            //Add new section to Word document 

            document.AddSection(); 

 

            //Add paragraph to section 

            WParagraph paragraph = document.LastSection.AddParagraph() as WParagraph; 

            //Add the text to paragraph 

            WTextRange textRange = paragraph.AppendText("coordinate {adj}") as WTextRange; 

            textRange.CharacterFormat.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.Bold); 

 

            //Add paragraph to section

            paragraph.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = 18; 

            //Add the text to paragraph 

            textRange = paragraph.AppendText("gleichrangig") as WTextRange;

1.    Whether you are trying to position the text in the Word document or any other element?
->I don't care, it depends on your library if you can take a word file I am fine, if you need a some kind of image i am fine with it as well

2.    Do you have any input Word document? If so, please provide us.
-> yes, but the document has been converted from a pdf and the pdf has been generated from an xml "absolutePositionedXMLToWordOrSomeTemplate_52d7d856.7z"(first post), the problem is if I had to add a new field to the converted docx the absolute positions wont fit anymore

3.    Can you provide us what type of palace holders do you have in Word document?

Hi Customer,

Thank you for your update.

On further analyzing your given template Word document, we have found that the Word document has some custom defined tab stop positions. Hence after replacing the placeholders with text, the text will be positioned based on the custom tab stops defined in the corresponding paragraph in the Word document. It is an actual behavior of Microsoft Word document and DocIO also doing the same. So, we have modified your given input template Word document by removing the unnecessary tab stop positions in the Word document. Please find the modified input Word document from the following link and code snippet to replace the placeholder text using DocIO from below:

Modified Word document:

Code Snippet:
            //Load the template document using DocIO 

            WordDocument document = new WordDocument(@"F:\Issue Samples\Incidents\123789  -  Convert xml to Word the xml has absolute positions\template_Modified.docx", FormatType.Docx); 

            //Replace the placeholder text 

            document.Replace("${kundennummer}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${vertragsNr}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${gueltigVonTag}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${gueltigVonMonat}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${gueltigVonJahr}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${gueltigBisTag}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${gueltigBisMonat}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${gueltigBisJahr}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${versicherungsscheinNr}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${kennzeichen}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${fahrzeugart}", "xxx", false, false); 

            document.Replace("${fabrikat}", "xxx", false, false); 

            //Saves the document in the given name and format 

            document.Save("Replace.docx", FormatType.Docx); 

            //Releases the resources occupied by WordDocument instance 

            document.Close();
