possible to extract/find refence to image data in word files

Hi there,

I am trying now for a few days to extract an image out of a word document. I haven't succeeded sofar. I am afraid now that POI is not able to do this. 

Has anybody succeeded in or know if it is possible to extract image data out of ms word documents using POI.

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Srinivas,

Thanks for your info.

I found now that my previous information was not completely correct. In 
version 2.5.1 the FIBAbstractType is complete.

I am on the same path as you, this is what I have right now. I am still 
struggling because I get an array index out of bounds exception. This 
exception is thrown because
the _fib.getLcbDggInfo() gives me a wrong length of the office art object 
table data, or I interpret the data wrong. I get now atleast an EscherRecord 
which points me more or less to the correct place where the, in my case 
jpeg, data is stored. Only in front of the data are 25 bytes which I do not 
know yet what they are used for.

Another thing is that I found that in my case the file has a 0Table and 
1Table stream. The _fib.isFWhichTblStm() should say which table to use. I 
wonder now if because in my case it seems to be a complex file I should 
still use the 1Table (is bigger and might not give an arrayindexoutofbounds 
exception).


       POIFSFileSystem filesystem = new POIFSFileSystem(istream);

        // read in the main stream.
        DocumentEntry documentProps = (DocumentEntry) 
filesystem.getRoot().getEntry("WordDocument");
        byte[] _mainStream = new byte[documentProps.getSize()];
        filesystem.createDocumentInputStream("WordDocument").read(_mainStream);

        // use the fib to determine the name of the table stream.
        org.apache.poi.hdf.model.hdftypes.FileInformationBlock _fib = new 
org.apache.poi.hdf.model.hdftypes.FileInformationBlock(_mainStream);

        System.out.println("has image:" + _fib.isFHasPic()); //always seems 
to be false, something to do with complex file?

        String name = "0Table";
        System.out.println("use table1: "+_fib.isFWhichTblStm());
        if (_fib.isFWhichTblStm()) {
            name = "1Table";
        }

        // read in the table stream.
        DocumentEntry tableProps = (DocumentEntry) 
filesystem.getRoot().getEntry(name);
        byte[] _tableStream = new byte[tableProps.getSize()];
        filesystem.createDocumentInputStream(name).read(_tableStream);

        DefaultEscherRecordFactory factory = new 
DefaultEscherRecordFactory();
        int pos = _fib.getFcDggInfo();
        while (pos < (_fib.getFcDggInfo() + _fib.getLcbDggInfo())) {

                try {
                    org.apache.poi.ddf.EscherRecord r = 
factory.createRecord(_tableStream, pos);
                    int bytesRead = r.fillFields(_tableStream, pos, 
factory);
                    System.out.println("bytes read" + bytesRead);
                    System.out.println(r.toString());
                    pos += bytesRead;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    pos = _fib.getFcDggInfo() + _fib.getLcbDggInfo();
                }
            }

Hi Srinivas,

I am going through the source now and it looks like POI doesn't support 
image extraction right now. If I look at the FIBAbstractType class (extended 
by FileInformationBlock)  I see that a lot of tags are missing. I am trying 
now to add some of them and get the image stuff working. Would be great if 
you tried to get the stuff working too, sofar I haven't succeeded.

Peter
