Hi Piermaria,

Sorry for delay in getting back to you.

Currently, it is not possible to search a particular place holder text from template document and replace it by image/picture. I have added this as a feature request with our development team. You can track the live status of this feature here,

Feature Request #1028 - Finding a particular place holder and replace it with document elements

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Prabhu.

Hi Piermaria,

Currently, it is not possible to replace a placeholder by Merge fields [ Paragraph items ]. However, our developers are working with this feature. I will update you once the feature gets implemented.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,

can you replace the source of an existing image with a different image? like replace logo1.png with logo2.png?

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your update.

We suggest you to use LoadImage API of DocIO to replace existing image in the Word document. To identify the existing image in the Word document, we suggest you to set title for the image in the Word document using Microsoft Word application and then replace with new image using DocIO based on that title.
Please refer the below screenshot to set title for image in the Word document:
Right click on image -> Format Picture. 

 

 

 

For your reference, we have prepared a sample application to get the pictures in Word document and replace the image based on the title of picture.

Please find the sample from the below link and let us know if this helps you:

In this sample we have done the following things:
  1. Loads existing Word document using DocIO.
  2.  Iterates into document elements and get the pictures.
  3. Replaces image based on the Title property of WPicture.
  4. Saves the Word document.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
