Arrange Shapes in PowerPoint in C#, VB.NET

When there are overlapping shapes/images in your presentation slide, you can control which shape is under or above which shape by bring a shape forward or to front, or sending a shape backward or to back. The following example shows you how to bring a shape forward using Spire.Presentation with C# and VB.NET.

Code Snippets

[C#]

//load the sample PowerPoint file
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
presentation.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\input.pptx");

//get the specified shape
IShape shape = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes[0];

//bring the shape forward through SetShapeArrange method
shape.SetShapeArrange(ShapeArrange.BringForward);

//save to file
presentation.SaveToFile("output.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);

[VB.NET]

'load the sample PowerPoint file
Dim presentation As Presentation =  New Presentation() 
presentation.LoadFromFile("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\input.pptx")
 
'get the specified shape
Dim shape As IShape =  presentation.Slides(0).Shapes(0) 
 
'bring the shape forward through SetShapeArrange method
shape.SetShapeArrange(ShapeArrange.BringForward)
 
'save to file
presentation.SaveToFile("output.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013)

Java: Read or Remove Properties from Word Documents

Document properties are some important information contained in Word documents, including title, subject, author, company, keywords, etc. Reading this information can help identify the document, quickly determine the document type or source, and improve the efficiency of document storage and organization. However, if the document properties such as author and company are inappropriate for others to know, you can remove them to protect privacy. This article is going to show how to read or remove document properties in Word documents programmatically using Spire.Doc for Java.

Read Built-in and Custom Properties from Word Documents

There are two types of properties in Word documents: built-in properties and custom properties. Built-in properties are some predefined properties, while custom properties are properties with custom names, types, and values. The detailed steps for reading the two kinds of document properties are as follows:

Create an object of Document.
Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
Get all the built-in properties and custom properties using Document.getBuiltinDocumentProperties() method and Document.getCustomDocumentProperties() method.
Get each built-in property using methods under BuiltinDocumentProperties class.
Loop through the custom properties to get their name and value using methods under CustomDocumentProperties class.

Java

import com.spire.doc.BuiltinDocumentProperties;
import com.spire.doc.CustomDocumentProperties;
import com.spire.doc.Document;

public class GetDocumentProperties {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Create an object of Document
        Document document = new Document();

        //Load a Word document
        document.loadFromFile("C:/Sample.docx");

        //Create an object of StringBuilder
        StringBuilder properties = new StringBuilder();

        //Get all the built-in properties and custom properties
        BuiltinDocumentProperties builtinDocumentProperties = document.getBuiltinDocumentProperties();
        CustomDocumentProperties customDocumentProperties = document.getCustomDocumentProperties();

        //Get each built-in property
        String title = builtinDocumentProperties.getTitle();
        String subject = builtinDocumentProperties.getSubject();
        String author = builtinDocumentProperties.getAuthor();
        String manager = builtinDocumentProperties.getManager();
        String category = builtinDocumentProperties.getCategory();
        String company = builtinDocumentProperties.getCompany();
        String keywords = builtinDocumentProperties.getKeywords();
        String comments = builtinDocumentProperties.getComments();

        //Set string format for displaying
        String builtinProperties = String.format("The built-in properties:\r\nTitle: " + title
                + "\r\nSubject: " + subject + "\r\nAuthor: " + author
                + "\r\nManager: " + manager + "\r\nCategory: " + category
                + "\r\nCompany: " + company + "\r\nKeywords: "+ keywords
                + "\r\nComments:" + comments
        );

        //Add the built-in properties to the StringBuilder object
        properties.append(builtinProperties);

        //Get each custom property
        properties.append("\r\n\r\nThe custom properties:");
        for (int i = 0; i < customDocumentProperties.getCount(); i++) {
            String customProperties = String.format("\r\n" + customDocumentProperties.get(i).getName() + ": " + document.getCustomDocumentProperties().get(i).getValue());

            //Add the custom properties to the StringBuilder object
            properties.append(customProperties);
        }

        //Output the properties of the document
        System.out.println(properties);
    }
}

Remove Built-in and Custom Properties from Word Documents

Built-in document properties can be removed by setting their values as empty. For custom document properties, we can use the CustomDocumentProperties.get().getName() method to get their name and then use CustomDocumentProperties.remove() method to remove them. The detailed steps are as follows:

Create an object of Document.
Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
Get all built-in properties and custom properties using Document.getBuiltinDocumentProperties() method and Document.getCustomDocumentProperties() method.
Remove the built-in properties by setting their values as empty using methods under BuiltinDocumentProperties class.
Get the count of custom properties using CustomDocumentProperties.getCount() method.
Loop through the custom properties, get their names by using CustomDocumentProperties.get().getName() method, and remove each custom property by their name using CustomDocumentProperties.remove() method.
Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.

Java

import com.spire.doc.BuiltinDocumentProperties;
import com.spire.doc.CustomDocumentProperties;
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.doc.FileFormat;

public class RemoveDocumentProperties {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Create an object of Document
        Document document = new Document();

        //Load a Word document
        document.loadFromFile("C:/Sample.docx");

        //Get all built-in properties and custom properties
        BuiltinDocumentProperties builtinDocumentProperties = document.getBuiltinDocumentProperties();
        CustomDocumentProperties customDocumentProperties = document.getCustomDocumentProperties();

        //Remove built-in properties by setting their value to empty
        builtinDocumentProperties.setTitle("");
        builtinDocumentProperties.setSubject("");
        builtinDocumentProperties.setAuthor("");
        builtinDocumentProperties.setManager("");
        builtinDocumentProperties.setCompany("");
        builtinDocumentProperties.setCategory("");
        builtinDocumentProperties.setKeywords("");
        builtinDocumentProperties.setComments("");

        //Get the count of custom properties
        int count = customDocumentProperties.getCount();

        //Loop through the custom properties to remove them
        for (int i = count; i > 0; i-- ){

            //Get the name of a custom property
            String name = customDocumentProperties.get(i-1).getName();

            //Remove the custom property by its name
            customDocumentProperties.remove(name);
        }

        //Save the document
        document.saveToFile("RemoveDocumentProperties.docx", FileFormat.Auto);
        document.dispose();
    }
}

Java: Create a Fillable Form in Word

Word allows you to create forms that other people can use to enter information. Fillable forms are used for a variety of purposes. Human resources use forms to collect employee and consultant information. Marketing departments use forms to survey customer satisfaction with their products and services. Organizations use forms to register members, students, or clients. Some of the tools you will use when creating a form include:

Content Controls: The areas where users input information in a form.
Tables: Tables are used in forms to align text and form fields, and to create borders and boxes.
Protection: Allows users to populate fields but not to make changes to the rest of the document.

Content controls in Word are containers for content that let users build structured documents. A structured document controls where content appears within the document. There are basically ten types of content controls available in Word 2013. This article focuses on how to create a fillable form in Word consisting of the following seven common content controls using Spire.Doc for Java.

Content Control	Description
Plain Text	A text field limited to plain text, so no formatting can be included.
Rich Text	A text field that can contain formatted text or other items, such as tables, pictures, or other content controls.
Picture	Accepts a single picture.
Drop-Down List	A drop-down list displays a predefined list of items for the user to choose from.
Combo Box	A combo box enables users to select a predefined value in a list or type their own value in the text box of the control.
Check Box	A check box provides a graphical widget that allows the user to make a binary choice: yes (checked) or no (not checked).
Date Picker	Contains a calendar control from which the user can select a date.

Install Spire.Doc for Java

First of all, you're required to add the Spire.Doc.jar file as a dependency in your Java program. The JAR file can be downloaded from this link. If you use Maven, you can easily import the JAR file in your application by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Create a Fillable Form in Word in Java

The StructureDocumentTagInline class provided by Spire.Doc for Java is used to create structured document tags for inline-level structures (DrawingML object, fields, etc.) in a paragraph. The SDTProperties property and the SDTContent property under this class shall be used to specify the properties and content of the current structured document tag. The following are the detailed steps to create a fillable form with content controls in Word.

Create a Document object.
Add a section using Document.addSection() method.
Add a table using Section.addTable() method.
Add a paragraph to a specific table cell using TableCell.addParagraph() method.
Create an instance of StructureDocumentTagInline class, and add it to the paragraph as a child object using Paragraph.getChildObjects().add() method.
Specify the properties and content of the structured document tag using the methods under the SDTProperties property and the SDTContent property of the StructureDocumentTagInline object. The type of the structured document tag is set through SDTProperties.setSDTType() method.
Prevent users from editing content outside form fields using Document.protect() method.
Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.

Add Built-in Document Properties to a Word Document in Java

A built-in document property (also known as a standard document property) consists of a name and a value. You cannot set or change the name of a built-in document property as it’s predefined by Microsoft Word, but you can set or change its value. The following steps demonstrate how to set values for built-in document properties in a Word document in Java using Spire.Doc for Java:

Initialize an instance of Document class.
Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
Access the built-in document properties of the document using Document.getBuiltinDocumentProperties() method.
Set the values of specific document properties such as title, subject and author using setTitle(), setSubject() and setAuthor() methods provided by BuiltinDocumentProperties class.
Save the result document using Document.saveToFile() method.

Java

import com.spire.doc.BuiltinDocumentProperties;
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.doc.FileFormat;

public class AddBuiltinDocumentProperties {
    public static void main(String []args) throws Exception {
        //Create a Document instance
        Document document = new Document();
        //Load a Word document
        document.loadFromFile("Sample.docx");

        //Access the built-in document properties of the document
        BuiltinDocumentProperties standardProperties = document.getBuiltinDocumentProperties();
        //Set the values of specific built-in document properties 
        standardProperties.setTitle("Add Document Properties");
        standardProperties.setSubject("Java Example");
        standardProperties.setAuthor("James");
        standardProperties.setCompany("Eiceblue");
        standardProperties.setManager("Michael");
        standardProperties.setCategory("Document Manipulation");
        standardProperties.setKeywords("Java, Word, Document Properties");
        standardProperties.setComments("This article shows how to add document properties");

        //Save the result document
        document.saveToFile("AddStandardDocumentProperties.docx", FileFormat.Docx_2013);
    }
}

Java: Add Document Properties to Word Documents

Add Custom Document Properties to a Word Document in Java

A custom document property can be defined by a document author or user. Each custom document property should contain a name, a value and a data type. The data type can be one of these four types: Text, Date, Number and Yes or No. The following steps demonstrate how to add custom document properties with different data types to a Word document in Java using Spire.Doc for Java:

Initialize an instance of Document class.
Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
Access the custom document properties of the document using Document.getCustomDocumentProperties() method.
Add custom document properties with different data types to the document using CustomDocumentProperties.add(String, Object) method.
Save the result document using Document.saveToFile() method.

Java

import com.spire.doc.CustomDocumentProperties;
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.doc.FileFormat;

import java.util.Date;

public class AddCustomDocumentProperties {
    public static void main(String []args) throws Exception {
        //Create a Document instance
        Document document = new Document();
        //Load a Word document
        document.loadFromFile("Sample.docx");

        //Access the custom document properties of the document
        CustomDocumentProperties customProperties = document.getCustomDocumentProperties();
        //Add custom document properties with different data types to the document
        customProperties.add("Document ID", 1);
        customProperties.add("Authorized", true);
        customProperties.add("Authorized By", "John Smith");
        customProperties.add("Authorized Date", new Date());

        //Save the result document
        document.saveToFile("AddCustomDocumentProperties.docx", FileFormat.Docx_2013);
    }
}

C#/VB.NET: Digitally Sign Word Documents

A signature confirms that the digital document originated from the signer and has not been tampered with during transit. The use of digital signatures eliminates the need for sending paper documents, and reduces the number of the documents that need to be printed, mailed, and stored, saving you time and money. In this article, you will learn how to digitally sign a Word document in C# and VB.NET using Spire.Doc for .NET.

Install Spire.Doc for .NET

To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.

Package Manager

PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc

Add a Digital Signature to Word in C#, VB.NET

The steps are as follows.

Create a Document object.
Load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
Specify the path and the password of a .pfx certificate.
Digitally sign the document while saving the document using Document.SaveToFile(string fileName, FileFormat fileFormat, string certificatePath, string securePassword) method. Here are some other methods that you can use to digitally sign a Word document.
- public void SaveToFile(string fileName, FileFormat fileFormat, byte[] certificateData, string securePassword);
- public void SaveToStream(Stream stream, FileFormat fileFormat, byte[] certificateData, string securePassword);
- public void SaveToStream(Stream stream, FileFormat fileFormat, string certificatePath, string securePassword);
- public static byte[] Document.Sign(Stream sourceStream, byte[] certificateData, string securePassword);
- public static byte[] Document.Sign(Stream sourceStream, string certificatePath, string securePassword);

C#
VB.NET

using Spire.Doc;

namespace DigitallySignWord
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create a Document object
            Document doc = new Document();

            //Load a Word file
            doc.LoadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sample.docx");

            //Specify the certificate path

Java: Insert Headers and Footers into Word Documents

Insert a Header and a Footer Only into the First Page of a Word Document

Sometimes we only need to insert a header and a footer into the first page, which can be realized by Spire.Doc for Java as well. We can use Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter() method to make the headers and footers of the first page different from other pages.

The detailed steps for inserting header and footer only into the first page are as follows:

Create a Document class instance.
Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
Get the first section using Document.getSections().get() method.
Make the headers and footers of the first page different from other pages using Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter() method.
Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterFirst() to insert a header and a footer into the first page.
Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.

Java

import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.DocPicture;
import com.spire.doc.fields.TextRange;

import java.awt.*;

public class insertHeaderAndFooter {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Create a Document class instance
        Document document = new Document();

        //Load a Word document
        document.loadFromFile("We Are Interwoven Beings.docx");

        //Get the first section
        Section section = document.getSections().get(0);

        //Make the headers and footers of the first page different from other pages
        section.getPageSetup().setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter(true);

        //Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterFirst() to insert a header and a footer into the first page
        insertHeaderAndFooterFirst(section);

        //Save the document
        document.saveToFile("FirstPageHeaderAndFooter.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
    }

    private static void insertHeaderAndFooterFirst(Section section) {

        //Get header and footer of the first page
        HeaderFooter header = section.getHeadersFooters().getFirstPageHeader();
        HeaderFooter footer = section.getHeadersFooters().getFirstPageFooter();

        //Add a paragraph to the header
        Paragraph headerParagraph = header.addParagraph();

        //Add text to the header paragraph
        TextRange text = headerParagraph.appendText("Philosophy");
        text.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
        text.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(14);
        text.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.blue);
        text.getCharacterFormat().setItalic(true);
        headerParagraph.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Right);

        //Insert a picture into the header paragraph and set its position
        DocPicture headerPicture = headerParagraph.appendPicture("Header.png");
        headerPicture.setHorizontalAlignment(ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Left);
        headerPicture.setVerticalOrigin(VerticalOrigin.Top_Margin_Area);
        headerPicture.setVerticalAlignment(ShapeVerticalAlignment.Center);

        //Set text wrapping style to Behind
        headerPicture.setTextWrappingStyle(TextWrappingStyle.Behind);

        //Set the bottom border style of the header paragraph
        headerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setBorderType(BorderStyle.Single);
        headerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getBottom().setLineWidth(1f);

        //Add a paragraph to the footer
        Paragraph footerParagraph = footer.addParagraph();

        //Add text to the footer paragraph
        TextRange text1 = footerParagraph.appendText("We Are Interwoven Beings");
        text1.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
        text1.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(14);
        text1.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
        text1.getCharacterFormat().setItalic(true);
        footerParagraph.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);

        //Set the top border style of the footer paragraph
        footerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getTop().setBorderType(BorderStyle.Single);
        footerParagraph.getFormat().getBorders().getTop().setLineWidth(1f);
    }
}

Java: Insert Headers and Footers into Word Documents

Insert Different Headers and Footers into Odd Pages and Even Pages

We may also encounter situations where we need to insert different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages. Spire.Doc for Java provides a method Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter(), which can make headers and footers different on odd pages and even pages, to meet such needs.

The detailed steps for inserting different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages are as follows:

Create an object of Document class.
Load a Word document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
Get the first section using Document.getSections().get() method.
Make the headers and footers of odd pages and even pages different using Section.getPageSetup().setDifferentOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter() method.
Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven() to insert different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages.
Save the document using Document.saveToFile() method.

Java

import com.spire.doc.*;
import com.spire.doc.documents.*;
import com.spire.doc.fields.TextRange;

import java.awt.*;

public class insertHeaderAndFooter {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Create a Document class instance
        Document document = new Document();

        //Load a Word document
        document.loadFromFile("We Are Interwoven Beings.docx");

        //Get the first section
        Section section = document.getSections().get(0);

        //Make the headers and footers of odd pages and even pages different
        section.getPageSetup().setDifferentOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter(true);

        //Call the custom method insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven() to insert different headers and footers into odd pages and even pages
        insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven(section);

        //Save the document
        document.saveToFile("OddEvenHeaderAndFooter.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
    }

    private static void insertHeaderAndFooterOddEven(Section section) {

        //Insert odd header
        Paragraph P1 = section.getHeadersFooters().getOddHeader().addParagraph();
        TextRange OH = P1.appendText("Odd Header");
        P1.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
        OH.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
        OH.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
        OH.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);

        //Insert even header
        Paragraph P2 = section.getHeadersFooters().getEvenHeader().addParagraph();
        TextRange EH = P2.appendText("Even Header");
        P2.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
        EH.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
        EH.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
        EH.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);

        //Insert odd footer
        Paragraph P3 = section.getHeadersFooters().getOddFooter().addParagraph();
        TextRange OF = P3.appendText("Odd Footer");
        P3.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
        OF.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
        OF.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
        OF.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);

        //Insert even footer
        Paragraph P4 = section.getHeadersFooters().getEvenFooter().addParagraph();
        TextRange EF = P4.appendText("Even Footer");
        EF.getCharacterFormat().setFontName("Arial");
        EF.getCharacterFormat().setFontSize(16);
        P4.getFormat().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
        EF.getCharacterFormat().setTextColor(Color.RED);
    }
}
