Edit Word in Swift SDK

Use REST API to edit Word in Swift programmatically

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

Edit Word in Swift using REST API

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

Edit text in Word file using Swift

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

Edit table in Word file using Swift

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

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

Add an image to Word file using Swift

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

Edit Word programmatically

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

Upload a document you want to modify
Run code
Upload an image you want insert
Select the target format from the list
import AsposeWordsCloud

let config = Configuration(clientId: "####-####-####-####-####", 
   clientSecret: "##################");
let api = try WordsAPI(configuration: config);

let requestDocument = InputStream(url: URL(string: "Input.docx"))!;
let requestParagraph = ParagraphInsert()
  .setText(text: "Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.");
let insertParagraphRequest = InsertParagraphOnlineRequest(document: requestDocument, 
   paragraph: requestParagraph);
let insertParagraph = try api.insertParagraphOnline(request: insertParagraphRequest);

let convertRequest = ConvertDocumentRequest(document: insertParagraph.document.values.first,
  format: "docx");
let convert = try api.convertDocument(request: convertRequest);
import AsposeWordsCloud

let config = Configuration(clientId: "####-####-####-####-####", 
   clientSecret: "##################");
let api = try WordsAPI(configuration: config);

let requestDocument = InputStream(url: URL(string: "Input.docx"))!;
let requestTable = TableInsert()
  .setColumnsCount(columnsCount: 1)
  .setRowsCount(rowsCount: 2);
let insertTableRequest = InsertTableOnlineRequest(document: requestDocument, 
   table: requestTable, nodePath: "");
let insertTable = try api.insertTableOnline(request: insertTableRequest);

let convertRequest = ConvertDocumentRequest(document: insertTable.document.values.first,
  format: "docx");
let convert = try api.convertDocument(request: convertRequest);
import AsposeWordsCloud

let config = Configuration(clientId: "####-####-####-####-####", 
   clientSecret: "##################");
let api = try WordsAPI(configuration: config);

let requestDocument = InputStream(url: URL(string: "Input1.docx"))!;
let requestDrawingObject = DrawingObjectInsert()
  .setHeight(height: 0)
  .setLeft(_left: 0)
  .setRelativeHorizontalPosition(
     relativeHorizontalPosition: DrawingObjectInsert.RelativeHorizontalPosition.margin)
  .setRelativeVerticalPosition(
     relativeVerticalPosition: DrawingObjectInsert.RelativeVerticalPosition.margin)
  .setTop(top: 0)
  .setWidth(width: 0)
  .setWrapType(wrapType: DrawingObjectInsert.WrapType.inline);

let requestImageFile = InputStream(url: URL(string: "Input2.docx"))!;
let insertDrawingObjectRequest = InsertDrawingObjectOnlineRequest(document: requestDocument, 
   drawingObject: requestDrawingObject, imageFile: requestImageFile, nodePath: "sections/0");
let insertDrawingObject = 
   try api.insertDrawingObjectOnline(request: insertDrawingObjectRequest);

let convertRequest = ConvertDocumentRequest(
   document: insertDrawingObject.document.values.first, format: "docx");
let convert = try api.convertDocument(request: convertRequest);
