TwoWayDocx 0.0.9

TwoWayDocx

TwoWayDocs makes document generation easy. It reads a .docx template file, replaces text, fills it and saves as another .docx file. It is a thin layer on top of Microsoft OpenXML library.

Usage Example

To Insert HTML inside .docx

// Prerequisite: 
// In Microsoft Word, create inputfile.docx. In the file, create a bookmark
//  ProjectDescription
// Close the file
TwoWayDocx.TWDocx r = new TwoWayDocx.TWDocx("inputfile.docx");
string prjDesc = "<p>This is a project that helps our planet</p>";
r.InsertHTMLAtBookmark("ProjectDescription", prjDesc, "prjDescHTML"); // Insert a HTML fragment
r.SaveAs("outputfile.docx");

To Insert .docx inside another .docx

// Prerequisite: 
// In Microsoft Word, create inputfile.docx. In the file, create a bookmark ProjectJustificationBookmark. Close the file
// Create anotherDocumentToInsert.docx. This could contain anything. 
TwoWayDocx.TWDocx r = new TwoWayDocx.TWDocx("inputfile.docx");
r.InsertDocxAtBookmark("ProjectJustificationBookmark", "anotherDocumentToInsert.docx"); // Insert another docx file
r.SaveAs("outputfile.docx");

To replace a field in .docx

// Prerequisite: In Microsoft Word, create inputfile.docx.
// In the file, insert a MergeField called gefid. A field can be insert by going to Ribbon > Insert > Quick Parts > Field > MergeField (This navigation menu may vary depending on the Word version you use).
// Save and close the file
TwoWayDocx.TWDocx r = new TwoWayDocx.TWDocx("inputfile.docx");
r.ReplaceMergeField("gefid", "1234");
r.SaveAs("outputfile.docx");

To find a Table element after a paragraph style ("Heading1") and text ("A. Indicative Focal/Non-Focal Area Element")

// Prerequisite: 
TwoWayDocx.TWDocx r = new TwoWayDocx.TWDocx("inputfile.docx");
var tbl = docx.FindElementAfterParagraphStyle<Table>("Heading1", "A. Indicative Focal/Non-Focal Area Element");
// do further processing e.g. insert more rows

To output to .pdf

Aspose is one of the best docx-to-pdf renderers in the market. Up until Microsoft OpenXML came out, it was arguable the only sane, complete set of APIs to generate Word files from backend.

Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document("outputfile.docx");
doc.Save("outputfile.pdf");
