Edit DOCX in C++ SDK

Use REST API to edit DOCX in C++ programmatically

When developers modify a DOCX document with this C++ library, what is actually being edited is the Document Object Model (DOM). Thus, almost any changes can be made to the DOCX document represented as DOM. With the provided C++ SDK, developers can easily edit a document: modify text, update tables, add images and so on. Just load a DOCX, make the necessary changes programmatically and export the result to the same or any supported save format.

Edit DOCX in C++ using REST API

Our C++ library gives developers the ability to modify a DOCX document directly by editing its Document Object Model (DOM), which means no additional software needs to be installed.

Edit text in DOCX file using C++

The most popular case to edit a DOCX file is text editing. With the given software solution, you can add, modify or delete text using C++ within the document.

Edit table in DOCX file using C++

Another popular DOCX editing option is table editing. Our C++ SDK allows you to work with tables and text in table cells.

C++ developers can add or remove table and table cells, as well as add, edit and remove text within them.

Add an image to DOCX file using C++

Besides editing text and tables in DOCX, there is another common option: adding images to a document in C++. C++ developers can also add an image into a DOCX file using DOM.

Edit DOCX programmatically

Try this powerful C++ SDK and evaluate some options in DOCX document editing. Using the following example, load your DOCX document and make some changes: add text, add a table and a table cell with text or insert an image into the DOCX document:

Upload a document you want to modify
Run code
Upload an image you want insert
