Aram,

I think you are on the edge of what can be done. It is either yet not yet implemented or it could be a bug.

Earlier today a bug report came in for XSSFWorkbook that is similar.

See https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47540

You might comment on your XWPFDocument trouble there.

Hopefully there will be responses to that issue in the next few days.

Regards,
Dave

Mark,

You were right ...

XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(POIXMLDocument.openPackage("c:\\test.docx"));

CustomProperties props = doc.getProperties().getCustomProperties();

CTProperty[] ctp = props.getUnderlyingProperties().getPropertyArray();
      for (CTProperty foo : ctp) {
          System.out.println(foo.toString());
      }

Prints out the variables in an XML format.
Now the question is how do you update them since there is no setProperties() method?

Thanks.

Aram

I think that the support for this task is there.

Take a look at the XWPFDocument class. You should see that it extends the POIXMLDocument class and that this class declares method with the following signature - public POIXMLProperties getProperties(). To quote the javadoc, it will "Get the document properties. This gives you access to the core ooxml properties, and the extended ooxml properties." I have never used this
myself but think it could be the best place to start looking.

To get you started, you can access an OpenXML document this way;

XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument(OPCPackage.create(new
java.io.File("your file")));
POIXMLProperties docProps = document.getProperties();

Yours

Hello,

I have a task to update the properties (custom variables) of a DOCX file (Office 2007). I tried looking on POI's website but I can only find a reference to a XPFFWordExtractor but not much else in terms of docx support. I know it's still in very early development, but I was hoping this is a simple enough task that it was done already.

Thanks.
