Edit DOC in Node SDK

Use REST API to edit DOC in JavaScript programmatically

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

Edit DOC in JavaScript using REST API

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

Edit text in DOC file using JavaScript

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

Edit table in DOC file using JavaScript

Another popular DOC editing option is table editing. Our Node SDK allows you to work with tables and text in table cells.

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

Add an image to DOC file using JavaScript

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

Edit DOC programmatically

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

Upload a document you want to modify
Run code
Upload an image you want insert
Select the target format from the list
import * as fs from "fs";

const wordsApi = new WordsApi("####-####-####-####-####", "##################");

const requestDocument = fs.createReadStream("Input.doc");
const requestParagraph = new model.ParagraphInsert({
    text: "Morbi enim nunc faucibus a."
})
const insertParagraphRequest = new model.InsertParagraphOnlineRequest({
    document: requestDocument,
    paragraph: requestParagraph
});

wordsApi.insertParagraphOnline(insertParagraphRequest)
.then((insertParagraphResult) => {    
    const requestDocument = insertParagraphResult.Document.Values();
    const convertDocument = new model.ConvertDocumentRequest({
        document: requestDocument,
        format: "doc"
    });

    wordsApi.convertDocument(convertDocument)
    .then((convertDocumentResult) => {
        console.log("Result of ConvertDocument: ", convertDocumentResult);
    });
});
import * as fs from "fs";

const wordsApi = new WordsApi("####-####-####-####-####", "##################");

const requestDocument = fs.createReadStream("Input.doc");
const requestTable = new model.TableInsert({
    columnsCount: 1,
    rowsCount: 2
})
const insertTableRequest = new model.InsertTableOnlineRequest({
    document: requestDocument,
    table: requestTable,
    nodePath: ""
});

wordsApi.insertTableOnline(insertTableRequest)
.then((insertTableResult) => {    
    const requestDocument = insertTableResult.Document.Values();
    const convertDocument = new model.ConvertDocumentRequest({
        document: requestDocument,
        format: "doc"
    });

    wordsApi.convertDocument(convertDocument)
    .then((convertDocumentResult) => {
        console.log("Result of ConvertDocument: ", convertDocumentResult);
    });
});
import * as fs from "fs";

const wordsApi = new WordsApi("####-####-####-####-####", "##################");

const requestDocument = fs.createReadStream("Input1.doc");
const requestDrawingObject = new model.DrawingObjectInsert({
    height: 0,
    left: 0,
    top: 0,
    width: 0,
    relativeHorizontalPosition: model.DrawingObjectInsert.RelativeHorizontalPositionEnum.Margin,
    relativeVerticalPosition: model.DrawingObjectInsert.RelativeVerticalPositionEnum.Margin,
    wrapType: model.DrawingObjectInsert.WrapTypeEnum.Inline
})
const requestImageFile = fs.createReadStream("Input2.doc");
const insertDrawingObjectRequest = new model.InsertDrawingObjectOnlineRequest({
    document: requestDocument,
    drawingObject: requestDrawingObject,
    imageFile: requestImageFile,
    nodePath: "sections/0"
});

wordsApi.insertDrawingObjectOnline(insertDrawingObjectRequest)
.then((insertDrawingObjectResult) => {    
    const requestDocument = insertDrawingObjectResult.Document.Values();
    const convertDocument = new model.ConvertDocumentRequest({
        document: requestDocument,
        format: "doc"
    });

    wordsApi.convertDocument(convertDocument)
    .then((convertDocumentResult) => {
        console.log("Result of ConvertDocument: ", convertDocumentResult);
    });
});
