Class ImageFieldMergingArgs

public class ImageFieldMergingArgs 
extends FieldMergingArgsBase

This event occurs during mail merge when an image mail merge field is encountered in the document. You can respond to this event to return a file name, stream, or an java.awt.image.BufferedImage object to the mail merge engine so it is inserted into the document.

There are three properties available ImageFileName, ImageStream and Image to specify where the image must be taken from. Set only one of these properties.

To insert an image mail merge field into a document in Word, select Insert/Field command, then select MergeField and type Image:MyFieldName.

Example:

Shows how to insert images stored in a database BLOB field into a report.
public void imageFromBlob() throws Exception {
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Mail merge destination - Northwind employees.docx");

    // Set up the event handler for image fields
    doc.getMailMerge().setFieldMergingCallback(new HandleMergeImageFieldFromBlob());

    // Loads the driver
    Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver");

    // Open the database connection
    String connString = "jdbc:ucanaccess://" + getDatabaseDir() + "Northwind.mdb";

    // DSN-less DB connection
    java.sql.Connection conn = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(connString, "Admin", "");

    // Create and execute a command
    java.sql.Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
    java.sql.ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Employees");

    DataTable table = new DataTable(resultSet, "Employees");

    // Perform mail merge
    doc.getMailMerge().executeWithRegions(table);

    // Close the database
    conn.close();

    doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "MailMergeEvent.ImageFromBlob.docx");
}

     * This is called when mail merge engine encounters Image:XXX merge field in the document.
     * You have a chance to return an Image object, file name or a stream that contains the image.
     */
    public void imageFieldMerging(final ImageFieldMergingArgs e) {
        // The field value is a byte array, just cast it and create a stream on it
        ByteArrayInputStream imageStream = new ByteArrayInputStream((byte[]) e.getFieldValue());
        // Now the mail merge engine will retrieve the image from the stream
        e.setImageStream(imageStream);
    }
}

Example:

Shows how to set the dimensions of images as MERGEFIELDS accepts them during a mail merge.
public void mergeFieldImageDimension() throws Exception {
    Document doc = new Document();

      • getDocumentFieldName

        public java.lang.String getDocumentFieldName()
        
        Gets the name of the merge field as specified in the document.

      • getFieldName

        public java.lang.String getFieldName()

        Specifies the shape that the mail merge engine must insert into the document.

        When this property is specified, the mail merge engine ignores all other properties like ImageFileName or ImageStream and simply inserts the shape into the document.

        Use this property to fully control the process of merging an image merge field. For example, you can specify ShapeBase.WrapType or any other shape property to fine tune the resulting node. However, please note that you are responsible for providing the content of the shape.

      • getTableName

        public java.lang.String getTableName()
        
        Gets the name of the data table for the current merge operation or empty string if the name is not available.

        Example:
