Class SaveOptions

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.aspose.words.SaveOptions
This is an abstract base class for classes that allow the user to specify additional options when saving a document into a particular format.
An instance of the SaveOptions class or any derived class is passed to the stream Document.save(java.io.OutputStream,com.aspose.words.SaveOptions) or string Document.save(java.lang.String,com.aspose.words.SaveOptions) overloads for the user to define custom options when saving a document.

Example:

Shows how to specify saving options while converting a document to .epub.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

// Specify encoding for a document that we will save with a SaveOptions object.
HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setSaveFormat(SaveFormat.EPUB);
saveOptions.setEncoding(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

// By default, an output .epub document will have all the contents in one HTML part.
// A split criteria allows us to segment the document into several HTML parts.
// We will set the criteria to split the document at heading paragraphs.
// This is useful for readers which cannot read HTML files greater than a certain size.
saveOptions.setDocumentSplitCriteria(DocumentSplitCriteria.HEADING_PARAGRAPH);

// Specify that we want to export document properties.
saveOptions.setExportDocumentProperties(true);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "HtmlSaveOptions.Doc2EpubSaveOptions.epub", saveOptions);

        Specifies the format in which the document will be saved if this save options object is used. The value of the property is SaveFormat integer constant.

        Example:

        Shows how to specify saving options while converting a document to .epub.
        Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
        
        // Specify encoding for a document that we will save with a SaveOptions object.
        HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
        saveOptions.setSaveFormat(SaveFormat.EPUB);
        saveOptions.setEncoding(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        
        // By default, an output .epub document will have all the contents in one HTML part.
        // A split criteria allows us to segment the document into several HTML parts.
        // We will set the criteria to split the document at heading paragraphs.
        // This is useful for readers which cannot read HTML files greater than a certain size.
        saveOptions.setDocumentSplitCriteria(DocumentSplitCriteria.HEADING_PARAGRAPH);
        
        // Specify that we want to export document properties.
        saveOptions.setExportDocumentProperties(true);
        
        doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "HtmlSaveOptions.Doc2EpubSaveOptions.epub", saveOptions);
      • getTempFolder/setTempFolder

        public java.lang.String getTempFolder() / public void setTempFolder(java.lang.String value)
        
        Specifies the folder for temporary files used when saving to a DOC or DOCX file. By default this property is null and no temporary files are used.

        When Aspose.Words saves a document, it needs to create temporary internal structures. By default, these internal structures are created in memory and the memory usage spikes for a short period while the document is being saved. When saving is complete, the memory is freed and reclaimed by the garbage collector.

        If you are saving a very large document (thousands of pages) and/or processing many documents at the same time, then the memory spike during saving can be significant enough to cause the system to throw System.OutOfMemoryException. Specifying a temporary folder using TempFolder will cause Aspose.Words to keep the internal structures in temporary files instead of memory. It reduces the memory usage during saving, but will decrease the save performance.

        The folder must exist and be writable, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

        Aspose.Words automatically deletes all temporary files when saving is complete.

        Example:

        Shows how to use the hard drive instead of memory when saving a document.
        Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
        
        // When we save a document, various elements are temporarily stored in memory as the save operation is taking place.
        // We can use this option to use a temporary folder in the local file system instead,
        // which will reduce our application's memory overhead.
        DocSaveOptions options = new DocSaveOptions();
        options.setTempFolder(getArtifactsDir() + "TempFiles");
        
        // The specified temporary folder must exist in the local file system before the save operation.
        new File(options.getTempFolder()).mkdir();
        
        doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocSaveOptions.TempFolder.doc", options);
        
        // The folder will persist with no residual contents from the load operation.
        Assert.assertEquals(new File(options.getTempFolder()).listFiles().length, 0);
      • getUpdateFields/setUpdateFields

        public boolean getUpdateFields() / public void setUpdateFields(boolean value)
        
        Gets or sets a value determining if fields of certain types should be updated before saving the document to a fixed page format. Default value for this property is true. Allows to specify whether to mimic or not MS Word behavior.

        Example:

        Shows how to update fields before saving into a PDF document.
        Document doc = new Document();
        DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
        
        // Insert two pages of text, including two fields that will need to be updated to display an accurate value
        builder.write("Page ");
        builder.insertField("PAGE", "");
        builder.write(" of ");
        builder.insertField("NUMPAGES", "");
        builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
        builder.writeln("Hello World!");
        
        PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
        options.setUpdateFields(doUpdateFields);
        
        // PdfSaveOptions objects can be cloned
        Assert.assertNotSame(options, options.deepClone());
        
        doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.UpdateFields.pdf", options);
      • getUpdateLastPrintedProperty/setUpdateLastPrintedProperty

        public boolean getUpdateLastPrintedProperty() / public void setUpdateLastPrintedProperty(boolean value)
        
        Gets or sets a value determining whether the BuiltInDocumentProperties.LastPrinted property is updated before saving.

        Example:

        Shows how to update a document's "Last printed" property when saving.
        Document doc = new Document();
        
        // This flag determines whether the last printed date, which is a built-in property, is updated.
        // If so, then the date of the document's most recent save operation
        // with this SaveOptions object passed as a parameter is used as the print date.
        DocSaveOptions saveOptions = new DocSaveOptions();
        saveOptions.setUpdateLastPrintedProperty(isUpdateLastPrintedProperty);
        
        // In Microsoft Word 2003, this property can be found via File -> Properties -> Statistics -> Printed.
        // It can also be displayed in the document's body by using a PRINTDATE field.
        doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocSaveOptions.UpdateLastPrintedProperty.doc", saveOptions);
        
        // Open the saved document, then verify the value of the property.
        doc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "DocSaveOptions.UpdateLastPrintedProperty.doc");
        
        Assert.assertNotEquals(Calendar.getInstance().getTime(), doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getLastPrinted());
      • getUpdateLastSavedTimeProperty/setUpdateLastSavedTimeProperty

        public boolean getUpdateLastSavedTimeProperty() / public void setUpdateLastSavedTimeProperty(boolean value)
        
        Gets or sets a value determining whether the BuiltInDocumentProperties.LastSavedTime property is updated before saving.

        Example:

        Shows how to update a document time property when you want to save it.
        Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
        
        // Get last saved time
        Date documentTimeBeforeSave = doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getLastSavedTime();
        
        OoxmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new OoxmlSaveOptions();
        saveOptions.setUpdateLastSavedTimeProperty(true);

        Shows how structured document tags can be updated while saving to .pdf.
        Document doc = new Document();
        
        // Insert two StructuredDocumentTags; a date and a drop down list
        StructuredDocumentTag tag = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.DATE, MarkupLevel.BLOCK);
        tag.setFullDate(new Date());
        
        doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(tag);
        
        tag = new StructuredDocumentTag(doc, SdtType.DROP_DOWN_LIST, MarkupLevel.BLOCK);
        tag.getListItems().add(new SdtListItem("Value 1"));
        tag.getListItems().add(new SdtListItem("Value 2"));
        tag.getListItems().add(new SdtListItem("Value 3"));
        tag.getListItems().setSelectedValue(tag.getListItems().get(1));
        
        doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(tag);
        
        // We've selected default values for both tags
        // We can save those values in the document without immediately updating the tags, leaving them in their default state
        // by using a SaveOptions object with this flag set
