Inserting HWPFDocument into XWPFDocument

[Janne Jokitalo <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I tried to search on the archives for this, but couldn't find it. Is there
a way to insert HWPFDocument data into an existing XWPFDocument? I have
multiple Word documents that need to be combined, and some of them are of
the "application/msword" format, while a template and some others are of
the XML-based format.

I thought of extracting a range of the HWPFDocument, but couldn't come up
with a way to insert that into the combined one.

Thanks for any possible help in advance!

Best regards,

Jaska

Hi Dominik, and thanks for your reply!

I ended up using the JodConverter for this job, so hopefully that problem
is solved now.

Best wishes,

Jaska

Hi,

as both formats are fundamentally different, you likely will need to
manually convert the contents between the two file-types to transparently
include content from HWPF into XWPF.

The OOXML formats sometimes have ways to "embed" other content, so there
maybe is some way, but it likely is fairly complicated and maybe not
supported well by some tools. So not sure if this would be feasible here as
likely not many people have used such features of the format.

Dominik.
