Swift Code for Merging XLT Files into DOT: A Complete Guide

// Converting XLT to HTML
let cellsApi = try CellsAPI(clientId: "YOUR_APP_SID", clientSecret: "YOUR_APP_KEY");
let expectation = self.expectation(description: "testcellsSaveAsPostDocumentSaveAs")
let name:String = file.XLT
let saveOptions:SaveOptions? = SaveOptions(enableHTTPCompression: nil, saveFormat: "HTML", clearData: nil, cachedFileFolder: nil, validateMergedAreas: nil, refreshChartCache: nil, createDirectory: nil, sortNames: nil, calculateFormula: nil, checkFontCompatibility: nil, onePagePerSheet: true, compliance: nil, defaultFont: nil, printingPageType: nil, imageType: nil, desiredPPI: nil, jpegQuality: nil, securityOptions: nil)
let newfilename:String = "file"
let isAutoFitRows:Bool? = true
let isAutoFitColumns:Bool? = true
let folder:String = TEMPFOLDER
let storageName:String? = nil            
uploadFile(name: name) {
    CellsAPI.cellsSaveAsPostDocumentSaveAs(name: name, saveOptions: saveOptions, newfilename: newfilename, isAutoFitRows: isAutoFitRows, isAutoFitColumns: isAutoFitColumns, folder: folder, storageName: storageName)
    {
        (response, error) in
        guard error == nil else {
            let errorinfo = self.GetErrorDataInfo(error: error as! ErrorResponse)
            print("error info: \(errorinfo!)")
            return
        }

        if let response = response {
            expectation.fulfill()
        }
    }
}
self.waitForExpectations(timeout: testTimeout, handler: nil)

// Converting HTML to DOT
let wordsApi = try WordsAPI(clientId: "YOUR_APP_SID", clientSecret: "YOUR_APP_KEY");
let fileName = "file";

// Save to HTML
let requestSaveOptionsData = HTMLSaveOptionsData().setFileName(fileName: BaseTestContext.getRemoteTestOut() + "/file.DOT");
let request = SaveAsRequest(name: remoteName, saveOptionsData: requestSaveOptionsData as! PdfSaveOptionsData, folder: remoteFolder);
let actual = try wordsApi.saveAs(request: request);

How to Megre XLT to DOT in Cloud Apps

  1. Initialize WordsApi with Client Id, Client Secret, Base URL & API version
  2. Set requestDocument assign the local XLT file name
  3. Set requestDocumentListDocumentEntriesFileReference and assign local DOT file name
  4. Set requestDocumentListDocumentEntries and set file_reference, import_format_mode parameters
  5. Create DocumentEntryList instance and assing requestDocumentListDocumentEntries to document_entries parameter
  6. Call AppendDocumentOnlineRequest to merge XLT file with DOT document requestDocument and requestDocumentList
  7. Call WordsApi appendDocumentOnline with parameters

FAQ

  • What is XLT Format?
    Files with .xlt extension are template files created with Microsoft Excel which is a spreadsheet application which comes as part of Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft Office 97-2003 supported creating new XLT files as well as opening these. The latest version of Excel is still capable of opening this old format template files. Such a template file is used to quickly create new Excel files with default data and settings such as page formatting, font size, margins, charts, etc which can be further saved as new .xls files.
  • What is DOT Format?
    Files with .DOT extension are template files created by Microsoft Word to have pre-formatted settings for generation of further DOC or DOCX files. A template file is created in order to have specific user settings that should be applied to subsequent files created from these. These settings include page margins, borders, headers, footers, and other page settings. Such templates are used in official documents such as company letterheads and standardized forms. The DOT file format is specific to Microsoft Word 2003 and earlier, but is supported by higher versions as well. Microsoft Word by default opens every new document based on normal.dot file. If modified, all the new files created will result in same settings as from the template file. In Microsoft Word 2007, the DOT file format has been replaced with Office OpenXML based DOTX file format.
