prevent table rows split between pages

[adi.zahi]

hello,

I'm trying to prevent table lines splitting between document pages.

current result :
in case that specific 'signer' table rows is outside of page size, table rows are splitting to next page.

example:

desire result:
the entire 'signer' table, with all it's rows, will move to next page.

can you please assist?

my code:

Code: Select all

        Table table = section.addTable();
        for (Object obj : table.getRows()) {
            TableRow tableRow = (TableRow) obj;
            for (Object obj1 : tableRow.getCells()) {
                TableCell tableCell = (TableCell) obj1;
                for (Object obj2 : tableCell.getParagraphs()) {
                    Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) obj2;
                    paragraph.getFormat().setKeepFollow(true);
                }
            }
        }
        table.getTableFormat().isBreakAcrossPages(false);


thank you

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
To meet your needs, please use the following test code for testing. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply at any time.

Code: Select all

 Document document = new Document();
 document.loadFromFile("tableExampleWord.docx");
 FixedLayoutDocument fixedDoc = new FixedLayoutDocument(document);
 for (int i = 0; i < document.getSections().getCount(); i++) {
     Section section = document.getSections().get(i);
     for (int j = 0; j < section.getBody().getChildObjects().getCount(); j++) {
         DocumentObject documentObject = section.getBody().getChildObjects().get(j);
         if(documentObject instanceof Table){
             Table table = (Table) documentObject;
             DocumentObject firstChild = table.getFirstChild();
             DocumentObject lastChild = table.getLastChild();
             LayoutCollection<LayoutElement> layoutEntitiesOfFirstChild = fixedDoc.getLayoutEntitiesOfNode(firstCh
             LayoutCollection<LayoutElement> layoutEntitiesOfLastChild = fixedDoc.getLayoutEntitiesOfNode(lastChil
             if (layoutEntitiesOfLastChild.get(0).getPageIndex() != layoutEntitiesOfFirstChild.get(0).getPageIndex
                 Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(document);
                 paragraph.appendBreak(BreakType.Page_Break);
                 section.getBody().getChildObjects().insert(j,paragraph.deepClone());
                 j++;
             }
         }
     }
 }
 document.saveToFile("res.docx");

thank you for the quick response

I use Spire.Doc version 11.7.0
we cannot upgrade to newer version (12.1.16) due to a number of issues.

also, I think the provided solution will not prevent splitting tables in case that the document will be edited manually.

Microsoft Word supply 'keep with next' option on Paragraph which I saw that is working as expected.

how can I apply this 'keep with next' paragraph format on spire doc?

thank you
Adi

Please use the code below to implement this feature you mentioned.

Code: Select all

paragraph.getFormat().setKeepFollow(true);

If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please don't hesitate to let me know.

hello,

I'm trying to recursively adjust the setKeepFollow on my entire document's paragraphs.

Code: Select all

Document document = new Document();
setKeepFollow(document.getChildObjects());
document.saveToFile(".../tableExampleWord.docx", FileFormat.Docx_2019);

public void setKeepFollow(DocumentObjectCollection childObjects) {
     for (int y=0; y < childObjects.getCount(); y++) {
         DocumentObject childObject = childObjects.get(y);
         if (childObject.getDocumentObjectType().equals(DocumentObjectType.Paragraph)) {
             Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) childObjects.get(y);
             paragraph.getFormat().setKeepFollow(true);
         }
         setKeepFollow(childObject.getChildObjects());
    }
}



BUT the rows on my table are still splitting between the document pages.

also, if you will opened my attached result file "tableExampleWord.docx", and press CTRL+A - for selecting all document elements, then go and mark: Format -> Paragraph -> Line and page break -> 'keep with next',

it will do the work and move all split tables into the same page.

pls see tableExampleWord_afterKeepFollow.docx" attached file.

how can I implement it using your SpireDoc version 11.7.0?

Hello,
Thanks for your feedback.

On my side, using "setKeepFollow (true)" can achieve the requirements you mentioned. I have attached the complete test code and result files for your reference. If it still doesn't work on your end, please provide us with your result document so that we can further investigate. Thank you in advance.

Code: Select all

Document document = new Document();
document.loadFromFile("tableExampleWord.docx");
for (Object childObject : document.getSections().get(1).getBody().getChildObjects()) {
    if(childObject instanceof Table){
        Table table = (Table) childObject;
        int count = table.getRows().getCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            int count1 = table.getRows().get(i).getCells().getCount();
            for (int i1 = 0; i1 < count1; i1++) {
                ParagraphCollection paragraphs = table.getRows().get(i).getCells().get(i1).getParagraphs();
                for (Object obj : paragraphs) {
                    Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) obj;
                    paragraph.getFormat().setKeepFollow(true);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
document.saveToFile("tableExampleWord-res.docx", FileFormat.Docx_2016);
