HideEmptyParagraphs doesn't work

[_andrews_]

Hello, we bought the Spire.Doc and have a problem with MailMerging HideEmptyParagraphs flag.

I've detected that it doesn't work in some cases (please check attachment)
As an example I show you 2 cases when HideEmptyParagraphs doesn't work:
1. when IF field is added to the line
2. when <space> is added directly between MERGEFIELDs

so in a case SMIDDLENAM and SFAMILYNAM are empty I expect

Code: Select all

HideEmptyParagraphs = true

must remove such empty lines

But it doesn't work. 2 empty lines are present in merged doc.

Both cases work correct via interop Word lib.

Could you please fix it?

Hi,

Thanks for your information.
For issue#1, there are SMIDDLENAM field and IF field in one paragraph, the empty SMIDDLENAM field can be hidden, but the IF field still exsits, so there will be a line.
For issue#2, I have noticed that there will be one empty line, and posted it to our Dev team. We will inform you once there is any progress. Sorry for inconvenience caused.

Hi,

By investigation, for issue#2, sorry that I am afraid the paragraph can not been hidden, as the <space> is added in the paragraph, it will have data in paragraph, it is not empty paragraph in fact. So there will be one line. Sorry for inconvenience.

Is it possible to check <IF> field Value, and in a case if Value = <empty> then remove <IF> field at all from the document?
Could you please show a code sample for removing Field from a document?

Hello,

Here is the codes to remove field for your reference.

Code: Select all

 for (int i = 0; i < para.ChildObjects.Count; i++)
                    {
                        DocumentObject doj = para.ChildObjects[i];
                        if (doj is Field)
                        {
                            Field Field = doj as Field;
                            if (Field.Type == FieldType.FieldIf)
                            {
                                fieldStartIndex = para.ChildObjects.IndexOf(doj);
                                para.ChildObjects.RemoveAt(fieldStartIndex);
                            }
                        }
                    }
